    WorthOverdoing

    Hi there, I have been working on the website (shared in private link)

    Originally, I developed it offline using MAMP and localhost:8888. After creating a database and uploading the required files through FTP, everything seems to have gone through – except, none of the text boxes and images that were used with Avia Layout Editor does not appear when accessing the website.

    What it looks like on local: http://imgur.com/brqwI3L
    What it looks like on live: http://imgur.com/5jHCcGy
    What it looks like on live within the admin panel: http://imgur.com/MPDv8kt

    So the components are definitely there, I have no idea why it’s not coming up.

    I did some other testing, and it appears as if I create a completely different page and start loading text boxes, this is visible. Without having to re-enter every box, is there a way to show what it is supposed to show?

    FYI I have zero plugins active at the moment, and WordPress 4.4.2 running Enfold theme.

    Any input would be much appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Hi WorthOverdoing!

    This looks like an issue with image path. Once you transfer from local you have to change the path in database by running a query. The easiest and best way to transfer your site i personally think is to use a nice plugin like wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

    Please try this out and transfer your site the plugin manages most of the task and help you transfer the site properly :)

    Cheers!

    Thanks for your reply Vinnie!

    I had failed to mention that I did change the file path in the process, and this is what I had done:

    UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://localhost:8888', 'http://www.newsite.co.nz/') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';
UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://localhost:8888','http://www.newsite.co.nz/');
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://localhost:8888', 'http://www.newsite.co.nz/');
UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value,'http://localhost:8888','http://www.newsite.co.nz/');

    NB: actual site not ‘newsite.co.nz’

    But I went ahead and tried the Duplicator anyway, although regrettably due to firewall issues I can’t resolve currently, uploading the archive will go in an endless loop which prevents the process going forwards. I’m looking into fixing this right now.

    Thanks for your information, I’ll keep you updated in the process.

    Kind regards
