    UPDATE ::

    Hi again Chris,

    I was able to get my local dev back up and running by migrating the site through another plugin (Backup Buddy), so I feel a bit better now.

    That said, I am still curious as to why things stopped working using the Migrate DB plugin… It is a much simpler and less time consuming process for me than doing the migration through Backup Buddy each time, and I am seriously considering having my company purchase a license for your premium plugin but I have reservations after this incident. Not to say that your plugin was necessarily the culprit here- it might be totally unrelated, but I feel less eager to pay good money for something that might not work in the long run.

    Please let me know what types of quality assurances are offered with Migrate DB Pro – is there some sort of money-back guarantee up to a certain point if it stops working mysteriously as Migrate DB seems to have here?

    I’d love to continue this conversation…

    Cheers

    Hi Chris,

    Sorry for the late reply- I have had to turn my attention to another project over the past few days.

    I spent some time today going over your suggestions and checked everything. I have enabled WP_DEBUG and installed the Debug Bar plugin but nothing is showing up in terms of errors. It’s really strange.

    I also checked the browser console and see nothing of note, though I’m not to familiar with the debugging tools it has, but I know usually if there are issues of any kind they show up in RED in the console drawer… Let me know if there are specific tests or anything I could be running in there.

    I installed another plugin that deleted the DB transients and optimized the DB supposedly but that did not solve the issue.

    I don’t have any plugins that are doing any caching that I’m aware of – how would I manually clear my WP cache? I added the wp_cache_flush function to my functions.php file and reloaded the page a few times but that didn’t seem to do anything.

    The only other thing I can think of that was changed since the lat time I ported the database back down to my local machine was that we password protected our live dev server using the hosting CP (MediaTemple). could that be causing the issue?

    Also I noticed the “owner” group of the root directory of the dev server is different that the the rest of the directories in the WP install. The “OID” is the same but the”GID” is different – is that something to worry about? Is it related to the password protection I mentioned above?

    Thanks again for your help!

    Yes this is the case. Thanks for double checking.

    Hi Chris!

    Yes I can definitely confirm that data is showing in all of the DB tables. I have about 420 lines in the postmeta table alone (I am using Advanced Custom Fields to store a lot of data for the site).

    Another note, if it helps, would be that i’m not using the traditional wp_ prefix for my tables as I was under the impression doing so could be a potential security flaw.

    Let me know if that helps your diagnosis (if any).

    Thanks for the quick response!
