FTP host error

    I recently migrated my website from a localhost to a private hosting. Everything was right until I realized it wasn’t possible to update or download new plugins. The error popped out everytime after I entered my server information (server, user and password). The error says

    I think the problem might be because of the server security. Since is is a university server, access to the server is limited to certain IP. If that is the case, I would like to add the IP WordPress uses to access the server to this set of allowed IP.

    If that makes no sense, which can the problem be?

    Hi,

    Why don’t you just create a backup of your site you created in the local host. Then install a new WordPress in your hosting server. It should be a fresh install WordPress. Then import the backup files you created to your new install.

    In that way, it does not have to ask you for any IP or any server settings.

    Hope this helps you with your issue.

    Hello,

    I think it is a good idea to do what you told me. Although I was afraid of doing so and losing all the work I have done on my WordPress page so far. Because of that, before doing so, I tried to make a backup of my page on my localhost but it was not possible since everytime I try to log in on my localhost, WordPress sends me back to the host where the actual webpage is in.

    Since the backup to localhost didn’t go well, I would like to know if it is completely save to do what you told me to do. You might not understand me, there should be no problem if I have a backup of my WordPress page and databasis, neverthless I have not the certainty I can start over again with only the backup, since I didn’t manage to build my WordPress on my localhost.

    Are you following me? 🙂

    Thanks for the help!
