So my progress.
To me it seems that WordPress wanted me to change some things BEFORE making the transfer – which I did not do and thus WordPress, my website and SQL are not mixing well.
I decided to revert back to the initial website, http://www.abandonedplaygrounds.com and start over.
My initial database still existed, I had all of my original wordpress files backed up in a separate folder on my cpanel. I changed the primary domain back, returned the backup folders and figured the database should naturally be recognized.
Thus.. when logging into my cpanel, abandonedplaygrounds.com will not load – nothing, not even a try.
I searched for old articles through google to try and open the site from there but nothing, google would not even try to load the site.
After many failed attempts and trying to fix my problem, I read the Caching plugins might cause this. I was using W3 Total Cache but after not being able to find any relation in about 50 wordpress pages of code, I gave up as there seems to be a LOT more to go through.
Ultimately, this morning, I decided that since neither will work, I may as well continue in the direction I wanted – wuhwild.com
I put the primary domain back to wuhwild, redirected abandonedplaygrounds to wuhwild, reinstalled wordpress from scratch while my old files are back in a backup folder.
Everything looked good. WordPress was working, the site was loading.
I uploaded my theme. Works.
Here is the problem:
When I upload my SQL, wp-admin logs me out and wuhwild goes blank as not even Google will load the site.
I took a screen shot of the tables before uploading the original sql and then I compared after uploading. Everything is similar but no success.
So I have a website with 350 articles, having been featured on weather.com, mlb.com and others… and a rather large following – all put to nothing because I wanted a .com change.
What in the world can I do???
