Everything migrates, but the database is empty.
-
This is a new problem to me as I use the plugin all the time with great success. I am also using the latest version of the plugin.
Only change is that I am using a new hosting company to migrate from to the clients domain.
In the past all my wp-config files used ‘localhost’ as the hostname. So I exporting from a ‘localhost’ setup to a ‘localhost setup. All working.
With my new host my db hostname is completely different. So I am exporting from a ‘sql19.jnb5.host-h.net’ setup to a ‘localhost’ setup.
The plugin shows success, but when I try update the permalinks (or access any part of the site) I am presented with the start up of a fresh WordPress install. Using phpmyadmin to check the database I can see that it is empty – hence the WordPress install initiating.
Can I assume the migration is restoring the ‘sql13.jnb2.host-h.net’ configuration on a ‘localhost’ set up causing the database restore to fail?
Everything else is there, plugins, themes…just an empty database :/
Help?
