    Hello,
    I am new to WordPress and I have a task of moving a WordPress website from one hosting site to another.

    My issue is that on the old hosting site, the dashboard wasn’t showing the right side of the page and therefore I couldn’t determine which of the plug-ins were active and which weren’t.

    Is there a file in the wp-content folder that tells you which plugins were active?

    Thanks for your help in advance!!

    That info is stored in the database in the wp_options table. If your hosting account has phpMyAdmin, you can use that to look in that table for the active_plugins option. (If you click on the option-name column heading, it will sort to high on the list.)

    My only issue now is that I don’t see that I loaded all of their media. Where would that be located in the old hosting site?

    Bill, I found them. They were in the upload folder.
    Thanks for your time.

    Oh good. Glad you found them. All media go to the uploads folder (as you learned), and all post and page content is stored in the database, along with users, WP options, plugin settings, etc.

    Go ahead and mark this as resolved when you feel it is, but don’t hesitate to let us know if anything else comes up.
