Migrating site changes to different servers

    We’re getting theme code commits from a 3rd party who’s got their own cloud-hosted WordPress install, and when we bring in their changes to our server (hosted on a different site), we’re having problems with the menu and link URLs and css/js files/folders not loading in the same way.

    I’ve gone through the two different wp-admins to match things up as much as I can, and I’m just not seeing what to fix.

    I’m not sure I’ll ever hear back from the 3rd party, but I’ve been trying to figure out what’s wrong and how to troubleshoot it, but it’s apparently a labyrinth of PHP/JS code that looks correct so far but I’m not finding what’s actually causing the problem.

    Sorry for the slow reply. I’d hope you’ve resolved this by now, but I will try to help if you still need it. Is the problem that the links refer to another site and you cannot find where to change the URLs to use the correct site? These can be difficult to find. In one case I’ve encountered the theme developer base64 encoded the URLs! And no, it was not some sort of sleazy spammer site, it was a legitimate commercial WP theme.

    If you know what the wrong site’s domain is, try searching the DB for instances of it. The interconnect/it tool is good for this because it properly handles data in serialized arrays.
