  • As you said you were able to transfer WordPress files to your server. Let’s resume with part you stuck with.

    I assume you have Linux hosting. Most standard shared hosting uses Linux and CPanel to manage hosting stuff from web panel. If you have access to CPanel you can look for Software and services and underneath you will find Select PHP Version

    Clicking on it will open new page showing php version in drop-down. Select newest possible PHP version from it i.e 5.4 or 5.5 or 5.6 and hit save. This might solve your issue if you are with Linux hosting.

    You can check/open CPanel if available using yourwebsite.com/cpanel

    how can i move the application to the new server without messing it up

    I Hope you are concerned about massing up with the data. What you need to do is transfer your WordPress files to your new server. You may need to migrate database to new server.

    Please keep a backup of your WordPress files and database for complete fail-over control.

    Now open-up the wp-config.php file and change these information
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxx’);
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxx’);
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘xxx’);
    according to your new database server.

    Open your MySQL database and find the wp_options table. Update the value for columns siteurl and home to the address you will be accessing your newly hosted WordPress website.

    This might be the best way to migrate your existing setup to new server.
