Looks like you did not move the site correctly and now the permalinks and site/home URL are pointing to the wrong domain.
Try updating the permalinks and setting the home and site URL correctly in the dashboard. Be sure to hit the update button, even if you don´t change anything. Make the htaccess file writable first so it can update.
For example, when you click on “gebruiksaanwijzing” it will give you an error. Then when you replace the domain http://www.cosmofix.nl/ with http://www.hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl/, then it will show the page correctly on http://www.hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl/?page_id=2
i can’t get in the dashboard anymore. there is no wordpress dashboard all i see is a ugly website without a css it think?
Can you get into you DB? If so look up the OPTIONS table to see if the SITE and HOME URL are correct, if not change it to the correct URL.
It is also possible to change the SITE and HOME URL in the wp-config.php. This might be an easier method. See http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Changing_The_Site_URL for more info on this,
The new problem now is that i can’t enter my site at all..
where it’s hosted now i get ‘cant find the server’ http://www.cosmofix.nl
when i look on the ftp everything looks fine. What should i do to enter the website again? is there a file that i need to reset?
It looks like the DNS is still pointing to the new host. You said you reverted back to your old host, but have you also changed the DNS of the domain back to the DNS of your old host?
http://www.hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl/ is working correctly now it seems.
ok it’s a bit complicated so i will explain:
hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl is my company’s website. i have put a wordpresswebsite on my companywebsite for cosmofix.nl. On hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl/cosmofix-wordpress
I wanted to move this site to another hosting provider where the domain name http://www.cosmofix.nl is hosted. so i’ve exported it out of the hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl/cosmofix-wordpress to the wordpress on the apache(?) of cosmofix.nl.
now i can’t enter the cosmofix.nl wordpress anymore and the hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl/cosmofix-wordpress looks like you know what..
so it ll blew up in my face. is there a way to re-enter the cosmofix wp?
thanks so much for the support
Are you sure the domain http://www.cosmofix.nl is setup correctly? Meaning it is pointing to your host with the correct DNS. Because the domain itself seems to be offline… Not a WP issue.
Second, you will want to do a proper migration of the development site on hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl/cosmofix-wordpress to http://www.cosmofix.nl. A guide on how to do this can be found here: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Moving_WordPress
When you copied the whole installation back to hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl/cosmofix-wordpress you probably did not update the old URL´s and the serialized PHP strings got messed up. This is why your site looks ´messy´ now. On the moving wordpress codex, click on the link to the search and replace tool. Upload that on your development site and run it. Replace “cosmofix.nl” with “hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl/cosmofix-wordpress”. This should fix you dev site.
that totally did the trick for the hetistijdvoorhelderheid.nl/cosmofix-wordpress
the cosmofix.nl however is a diffirent issue. i contacted my hosting provider and they said everything was ok and it should be my error. What could be the problem?
Cool, I´m glad that worked.
As for the cosmofix.nl, go to http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/ and enter cosmofix.nl. It will tell you that no Name Servers are found, causing the website not to show up.
You need to fix this by login to your where you domainname is parked and enter the name servers from your host. If you don´t know what the name servers are just ask your host. If the domainname is parked with your host, you can also ask them to do it for you, most will do this for you.
Please note that it can take up to a few hours for your website to show up after you entered the correct name servers.
So everyting worked out. the dns server was changed so it worked perfectly. Untill i decided to mess around with some downgrading. Because of my hosting provider that doesn’t have its php and mysql updated to the latest version. I had to downgrade my wordpress system. I followed instructions on http://etuts.org/manually-downgrade-wordpress/ But i’ve done something wrong i think.
i’ve deleted all wordpress files exept the wp-content folder and uploaded wp 3.5.2 Everything but its wp-content folder. But now everything stays white.. Have i done something wrong? Thanks very much for the support.
I don´t think you should downgrade because your host has outdated software. Ever. Leave and find a professional host who respects themselves and their customers.
That being said, try enabling WP debugging to find any clues on what is causing the white page.
1. create debug.log in wp-content folder
2. Set permission on 777
3. Add this code to wp-config.php:
// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
Look here for meer info: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Debugging_in_WordPress
You can also try enablr PHP errors in htaccess:
# Displaying PHP errors
php_flag display_errors on
Hi Rock Solid Design, first of all, i can’t explain how thankful i am for your help.
My hosting provider is KPN, it’s one of hollands biggest hosting providers, can you imagine. They said their php and mysquel wasn’t up to date. In januari a big update will take place.
Mean while i got it working again. With the 3.5.2 my website is terribly slow as well. can there be an other cause? it takes almost 30 seconds for the page to load:
http://www.cosmofix.nl
I know, I´m Dutch too 🙂 Problem is webhosting is not KPN´s core business, just a side service they offer so no priority on updates.
After running some tests it looks like your website is responding quite normal, it just takes a long time to get a response from the server with an average of 23 secs. Sometimes it won´t even connect at all.
Try using tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ or gtmetrix.com to test it yourself.
I would still recommend change hosts.
If you want to be sure you can try to disable all plugins you have activated to see if that would make a difference. (including woocommerce)
thanks very much for your help.
it ended up to be the older version of php. it is now updated and everything world fine.
you are right KPN is working on its place in the hosting world. but still has a long way to go;)
