I’ve moved my WordPress sites to a new host. I’ve never done this before; not terribly techy either. I’d built the sites on the old host, so first time migrating them anywhere. Before I moved them, they were already having issues. WSOD. Couldn’t access the wp-admin login. Tried the plugin and theme renaming thing. Didn’t seem to help. But, I thought I’d move them and figure that out later. The sites themselves showed up, I just couldn’t get in to do anything.
I got backups for the sites and the databases, and uploaded to the new host. Changed nameservers. Nothing. Realized the user names and password aren’t the same. Database names are the same. After reading a bunch of articles that I don’t quite understand, I finally find one I could understand and edited the wp-sample-config.php for the root directory—used HTML Kit to edit it—renamed it and uploaded it. Now I get an internal server error on all sites.
I checked the folders for the rest of my sites and discovered that some of them have a wp-config.php file and some don’t. I guess they all need one, right?
I’m almost ready to wipe out the whole mess and just start over. It’d be a lot of work, but this, so far, hasn’t been a picnic.
http://www.dreamwyndpublishing.com is my main domain.
http://www.anitamshaw.com and http://www.novelsbyneenah.com are my author sites and I have three others, http://www.diaryofaroguediabetic.com http://www.thesouthpawconnection.com and http://www.strollingmemorylane.com These are add-ons.
Wishing I had he budget to outsource this but I don't. If someone could help me, I’d so appreciate it.
