I have a wordpress website that I used as my testing website. Now the client bought a hosting package that has no database. The idea now is to change the old URL of the testing site to a new domain name which the client bought. Can I transfer that new domain name to the old website and as well as change sub-pages but without a database? Please help me!!!!
Please!!!
I am not sure I understand the question.
Do you want to move the WP installation to a server without a DB? That won't work...
If you want to point the new domain to your server, go ahead and do that, afterwards change the domain settings in the WP admin. You might also have to change the wp-config, not 100% sure on that one.
But honestly, just tell your client that to buy a new server with the specs you give him. PHP version, DB etc. You are the expert not him.

This is my first post here, I'm also kinda new to web dev.
I made a new site for a client an changed the hosting of the domain.
But he wants an old part of the side witch is an catalog with sorting functions made with php behind a login. I want to host this on a subsite of the hosting. Can I "copy-paste" this catalog with ftp? i have a copy of the database and the full file of the old website. I know that the php version is out of date and I'm having trouble how to find a way to update this.
When i upload the site i get a permission error trying to visit it.
When I try it locally i get to the login screen and the first page of the catalog, but when i try to select a category I only get a white screen.
I already want to thank you all for the help.
I hope you are doing well.
We have fully developed our website (this means everything, the domain, hosting, design is all done and the website is live and working). We chose Bluehost (bluehost.com) as our Hosting and Domain provider. Here's a snapshot of the panel I see (just in case for knowing the available menus) :
Now we have some PHP pages with us, and we need to integrate MySQL with it. I have seen some videos regarding this, but all of them were for localhost & XAAMP. I just need to know how to connect MySQL with a published website, so we can code the database storing section in our PHP file.
Can you suggest any tutorials/articles reffering this problem?
I hope you understand my query. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks 😀
First you must create a database then somewhere in the menu-settings the blue host gives you information about username and password , then modify your php database connection file with host(probably is localhost),username,password,and database name
I just migrated my website and it keeps rederection to another domainname of mine. Before I did this I open de SQL file and replaced the old domain with the new one. And imported it this in a new database. After that I configured the wp-admin. So after done this it should work right? In can access the website through wp-admin and that seems to work, but when I just type in the URL it rederection to another old domain of mine.
Anyone any idea how to fix this?
Seems like you missed some records in the database. The best approach is to use a tool like https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
If you download this free tool and upload to your server then it does a batch find-and-replace across every single table in your Wordpress database.
So, for example, replace http://www.example.com with http://sub.example.com
You can do a dry run and it will show you all the replaces that it will make. Once you're happy then click the "live run" button and all the changes are made.
I use this tool all the time when I am moving a site from my local machine to the live server. I also use the exact same approach when migrating a site from http to https
Two months ago I launched a wordpress website(www). It didn't do so well so I decided to create a subdomain (develop) and create a new site on there.
After completing development I was instructed to copy the files from the sub(develop) over to the main(www)
This worked fine and everything was displaying as it should on the new www site, however.
I've recently installed the facebook-for-woocommerce-1.2.4 on my WordPress shop. When I push my products to facebook they get listed with my develop domain.
From my limited wordpress/woocommerce/facebook knowledge I found that the URL is called via get_home_url(). I've contacted facebook, my ISP and WooCommerce if they know how I can correct this but they couldn't give me the answer.
It's most likely in the database (they said) but I have less knowledge with mySql than PHP. I've clicked through the tables but found nothing.
All my permalinks are set up correctly, unless there is a hidden one I missed.
Can anyone assist me with this?
Look in wp_options table, you will find your site url, home url there. Change that... that's all.
Using Wordpress-Heroku and ran into some issues. Changed my app name from heroku's autogenerated name to something more descriptive, but /wp-admin gets redirected to the old name. Of course there's no such app anymore. Also tried to set up a local version but found that going to localhost:8888/wp-admin redirects me to app on heroku.
I guess that something in the installation process creates permalinks to the site address in the database. Is there a way to fix this without resetting the installation?
I change servers (copying live sites to localhost) fairly frequently following the Codex. While not on Heroku, I assume the process would be the same.
In your case, the Search and Replace for WordPress Databases Script mentioned should do the trick (after backing up the database, of course).
I assume you've updated your wp-config.php to point to the new database.
