Courses Plus Student 505 Pointswordpress migration
I have been trying to migrate my wordpress site from the create a wordpress theme tutorial but no luck. Even tried through Filezilla. It does upload but the flexslider doesn't work. But it does work on local.
The problem is that I am not sure i am doing the mysql part right as in the tutorial they're using a different host.

Courses Plus Student 22,267 PointsI have had a few problems migrating Wordpress in the past. What helped for me is to search your mysql database for the path to your local directory. Something like C:/wamp/www/mywordpresssite You can start with the wp-options table and search there.
In my case there were a few plugins that had stored the local path and didn't work once I put the site online. I hope this helps for you.

Courses Plus Student 505 PointsYeah, I just wish there was a very general wordpress migration tutorial because we don't all use dream host or know how to use the cpanel. It's such a headache. But I will try that out Sander, and thanks for the tip. Will let you know if it did work :).
