Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

On hosting company cPanel;
wp-content -> themes -> twentyeleven-child
edit style.css

add;

page {

max-width: 1600px;
}
at the bottom of the file

-> save and exit
It hasn't made any change to the page width



Any suggestion? Thanks

Regards

Hi t-p,

Thanks for your advice.

I have considered creating slide-show running OpenShot and upload it to YouTube. I did it before and it works. But the disadvantage is the visitors needing to view the slide show in full because there is no indexing to find their needs.

Besides I have certain limitation uploading photos on my websites. I’m subscribing share-hosting on HostGator with unlimited storage. But they count the number of files upload. That is my headache.

Hi Cory

Thanks for your further advice.

What I’m most worry is affecting other websites on the server. Although I have their cloned sites running on local server and they are NOT open to public. But it’ll take lengthy time migrating all of them to the server of the hosting company again. There are 36 websites.

Besides, I maintain a database storing the Duplicator packages of all websites. Most of them are up-to-date.

As a precaution I’ll consult the technical support of the hosting company before I do anything. Up to now the website reynoldstock.com is running on Internet without problem.

There is no urgency for me to move their data to its folder ~path~/public_html/reynoldstocks/

I’ll come back after moving all relevant data to its folder.

Regards

Hi Cory,

Thanks for your advice.

On cPanel, running File Manager I can remove unwanted files/folders. But my problem is I’m not 100% sure which files and folders needed to remove. I doubt the technical support of hosting company can help. I’m prepared to do it in following way.

1) Download all files and folders, which I’m prepared to remove, to local server.
2) Renamed all those files and folders to xxxx.old first (one by one, not all in one time)
3) Check whether other websites are still running without problem.
4) Check whether reynoldstocks.com unable to browse on Internet (gone)

If 3) and 4) above are OK then I delete all xxx.old files and folders.

I have done these steps in the past several times and proved working. But the only difference is without other websites running. Although I have cloned sites running on local server, but it would take me sometime to reinstall all of them.

How about the database? Just leave it there?

Your comment and suggestion are welcome. Thanks

Hi Cory.

Further to my previous posting;

Now I have the website reynoldstocks.com migrated to the server of the hosting company. The solution is very simple as below;

1)
The database should be nowgolic_reydbase NOT reydbase

2)
The user should be nowgolic_reynoldstocksDB NOT reynoldstocksDB

The website is now up running and can be browsed on Internet. But I encounter another problem. I can’t find its folder on cPanel/File Manager/ ;
HOME (/home5/nowgolic)/public_html

I supposed the website is installed on
HOME (/home5/nowgolic)/public_html/

not on
HOME (/home5/nowgolic)/public_html/reynoldstocks.com/

Please advise how to fix the problem? Thanks in advance.

Regards

Hi Cony,

Thanks for your link and happy meeting you again.

This is not my first time migrating website. I have done it many times in the past. According to my recollection the steps are as following

1. Creating 2 duplicator packages on local server
2. Upload them to the public server on /public_html/
3. Create a new database, database user and password
4. On browser run /domain.com/installer.php and follow the instruction to complete.

The problem encountered was reynoldstocks.com which was previously installed and running on live site (on the server of hosting company). On account of some problems I migrated it to local server and deleted it on live site.

After having problems fixed I migrated it again to live site. I followed below document to proceed;

and encountered the problem as follow;

On browser running /domain.com/installer.php

Validate fails

Hi,

Did you migrate the local site’s MySQL database to the new server?
