Migrating to new site?

    I’m trying to narrow down why I am unable to migrate my site to a new host. Are there any possible conflicts with cloudflare? I tried development mode, and still couldn’t get a successful migration. It mostly worked except a lot of images won’t load at the new place. So far I’ve tried the new host’s migrator plugin, a wp migrator plug in, and direct upload of zip archives. Also, while in development mode, the site at its current host was 404 except for the home page. I don’t know if this had anything to do with CF. Any hints or suggestions would be highly appreciated!

    There shouldn’t be a reason coming from this plugin. If you have guest page caching enabled, putting the site into development mode (on Cloudflare’s side) will bypass the edge cache for you. You can also just purge the entire cache if you think it’s a case where some stuff is in Cloudflare’s cache.

    But fundamentally, there’s really nothing this plugin does that changes files or structure or anything along those lines. The exception to that would be the Pro version of this plugin does allow you to store images in a Cloudflare R2 bucket, so they wouldn’t exist locally in the filesystem, but if you aren’t doing that with the Pro version, then it’s not that.

    Are you able to dig into the specifics of what’s failing? Like is an image missing via the web request, but exists in the expected place in the filesystem? Should be able to narrow down if it’s a missing file, or the web server looking in the wrong place or something at least.

    Thank you for the fast reply. Your answer makes sense, and thank you for the suggestion wrt to file vs web request.
