while migrating my website to a new hosting
WordPress has documentation on moving a site: Moving WordPress
Didi you follow that guide?
I have made a new wordpress installation and i updated the databse , but it doesn’t seem to be working that way
From what version of WP to what version have you moved your database?
The reason I asked is because the database ( DB ) structure often changes between versions. The implication is that, for example, one cannot import a pre 5x database into a 6x install and expect it to work. You need to install your original version of WordPress, import your db dump and then start upgrading.

wp_hkhs_postmeta: Table ‘samerhouri_herbfits.wp_hkhs_postmeta’ doesn’t exist
wp_hkhs_terms: Table ‘samerhouri_herbfits.wp_hkhs_terms’ doesn’t exist
wp_hkhs_term_taxonomy: Table ‘samerhouri_herbfits.wp_hkhs_term_taxonomy’ doesn’t exist
wp_hkhs_term_relationships: Table ‘samerhouri_herbfits.wp_hkhs_term_relationships’ doesn’t exist
wp_hkhs_termmeta: Table ‘samerhouri_herbfits.wp_hkhs_termmeta’ doesn’t exist
Thanks (@t-p), In the beginning I followed that guide but as I told you , I,ve had so many wordpress errors , so I had to make a new installation.
The error messages indicate that the named database tables do not exist in the database. How did you create the database dump and have you already imported it into the target database?
Thank you guys , I have deleted the old installation and installed a new one , I had no other choice now it’s good.
I don’t know exact the case you done.
(Important: export your database before any thing)
Case1: Just change hosting, domain is not:
Check your table_prefix in the database and wp-config.php is the same.
+ visit PHPMYADMIN to know what current table_prefix database
+ in the wp-config.php, Looking for $table_prefix = ‘YOUR_TABLE_PREFIX’;
check it if the same in database.
Case 2: Change both hosting and domain:
as i see your curent site, you should you search and replace plugin (free version in WorPress.org is enough), then replace your old domain whit new one.
Example:
Old domain: https://yourolddpmain.com/
Repalce whit: https://yournewdomain.com/
