    Hi

    We have had enormous problems and issues with moving a working website with Enfold theme installed, to a new location (folder/domain).

    Wordpress backend works – but Enfold custom things in pages does not seem to work at all. Is this after a recent update of Enfold or what?

    Regards

    Hey rikkeshansen,

    We use serialized data to store the theme settings and post meta data and you can’t simply replace the url in the database. I recommend to use https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/ to batch replace the urls in the database to solve the issue. Simply replace all occurrences of http://olddomain.com with http://newdomain.com in your database.

    Best regards,
    Peter

    Hi Dude,

    We have already tried that, with Velvet’s plugin for search and replace.

    Hi,

    I’m not sure if Velvet supports serialized data, it’s not mentioned on the plugin website. Please use the plugin I suggested or a this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/ to change the urls in the database. Please use the UNMODIFIED database and not the database you already modified with the Velvet plugin because if the plugin does not support serialized data the database already contains corrupt/invalid data.

    Best regards,
    Peter
