In reply to: Running HTML site and WooCommerce Side-by-Side in RootOK, I have made the official decision to create a ‘shop’ domain and install AbanteCart on it! Sure all links will be changing, and I’ll deal with that!
I would still like to know whether I can continue to run WordPress in the background (only for a couple of plugins I need) AND the new html site side-by-side in the root directory, with no issues.
Can anyone confirm this please?

In reply to: Running HTML site and WooCommerce Side-by-Side in RootI did that with the blog portion of this project, and it worked GREAT!
The problem with WooCommerce is that I cannot create a ‘shop’ subdomain as that will take down the current shopping cart because WooCommerce, by default, creates the store using ‘shop’, even though this ‘shop’ is not a folder…it’s part of the WooCommerce plugin.
I am trying my best to keep the current WooCommerce permalink structure because my htaccess is already filled up with tons of redirects.
Any thoughts?

In reply to: How to Move Blog Posts and Images to SubdomainWell I took an easy ‘back door’ route and used the WordPress Export and Import, and imported ALL the posts and attachments from the main site to the subdomain! Worked PERFECTLY as the posts were all I wanted on the new subdomain!!!
Only one problem…even though ALL the images are visible via ftp in the WP-Content folder on the new subdomain, they do NOT appear in the Media folder!
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
thank you!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to Move Blog Posts and Images to SubdomainGood morning! Well, 6 hours after the site went down after backup restored, it was discovered the htaccess file found a new home where it didn’t belong (with all the moving back and forth). File was restored to original location and site was back up and running! YUP, that’ll do it!!!
So my second attempt of this project has already begun this morning. I easily COPIED the wp-content folder from current live site (www.example.com) over to the new blog, subdomain.example.com. It was a piece of cake this time! *wink*
Next step in this process is importing the current sql databases. I’ve already exported the current database via phpMyAdmin, and copy is on my desktop.
laliz, you mention I need to create a new database next. WordPress install already created empty databases in the new subdomain, and I see them in phpMyAdmin. Are these the same databases you are instructing to create?
If so, won’t the name of the database tables be the same as the main site (www.example.com) or will they automatically change to the new database name they are being imported to (subdomain.example.com)?
I’m not giving up, and really appreciate ALL the help with this process!
Thank you!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to Move Blog Posts and Images to SubdomainYUP, I can’t say for sure, but I probably hit move. I tried to drag it over, so something went wrong in the process!

In reply to: How to Move Blog Posts and Images to SubdomainThanks, but all I did was copy the wp-content folder, and somehow the live site just went down. I already have a support ticket requesting them to restore the full backup I made about an hour ago!
I am not a happy camper at all right now!

In reply to: How to Move Blog Posts and Images to SubdomainPlease can someone confirm what I just wrote? I have never done this before and need to make sure this gets done correctly.
thank you very much!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to Move Blog Posts and Images to Subdomainlaliz, thank you for replying! I’ll be asking questions along the way because I want to understand all of this very clearly.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I can simply ftp the wp-content folder over to the subdomain directory, correct? Best to ftp this to my desktop, and then ftp it back up to subdomain?
About the mysql backup, can I use the export/import feature in myphpadmin to do this? Basically export the entire sql database, save to my hard drive, then import it to the subdomain via myphpadmin?
Also, won’t the databases on the ‘new’ subdomain need to renamed?
Won’t this latter process basically give me an identical copy of the current http://www.myexample.com on the new subdomain?

In reply to: Customizing New WordPress Theme on Dev SiteYes, I have the live site already…it’s been up for over 13 years! lol
I understand…only theme files will be changed, nothing else!
Thanks again…I really appreciate your help!

In reply to: Customizing New WordPress Theme on Dev SiteThanks again Martcol…I’m very happy to read this, and will make it so much easier now and in the future to customize and change themes!
The reason I mentioned the wp-config is because the author mentions it on his tutorial page (http://robcubbon.com/copy-wordpress-site-private-redesign-development/).
Since it’s a WordPress file, no need to touch it then!
Thank you very much again!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Customizing New WordPress Theme on Dev SiteMartcol….thank you so much for replying! Yes, I will have theme and child theme installed on dev site.
So am I correct in understanding I don’t need to worry about the databases at all, as explained in the second part of the process? Cool!!!
Also, makes sense to download the theme and child theme to my computer and then upload to theme folder via FTP!
Super….thanks again….this makes it so easy!
Oh, I also need to edit wp-config.php on dev site, and then edit it again on the live site after new theme is activated, correct? Is this a WordPress file or a theme file?

In reply to: [Hueman] Homepage Posts Disappear with Featured Post CountYUP, I agree…it’s a 2-way street, and I’m glad I gave such detailed description!
Thank you so much again!Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Hueman] Homepage Posts Disappear with Featured Post Countbdbrown…YES, I understand now exactly why it was doing what it did! I tested it by setting the Featured Posts to 2, and then 3rd post appeared in the content area!
Thank you so much for understanding my issue and explaining it in a way I totally understand!!! 🙂

In reply to: [Hueman] Homepage Posts Disappear with Featured Post Countbdbrown…I wish I could but my site is in early dev stage and in maintenance mode because I do not want the search engines to pick it up!
What I can tell you is that I set the Featured Post Count to 3 (there are currently 3 posts on the site), and when I do a ‘View Source Code’, the posts are in the code, but they do not appear on the home page.
It’s almost as if that entire container setting for text is white, hiding the posts.
I had made some minor css changes, but removed all those css changes from Child Theme style sheet, saved it, and still the same problem….posts do not show on home page!
One more thing, if I tick off the “Include featured posts in content area” box in Theme Options/Blog, the posts appear just fine!
Any ideas? Thank you!
