  • Hi there @biscuitorcake. As long all the files were migrated with success and database was imported, everything should work as expected. Connect via FTP and check if your theme’s folder is present in wp-content/themes/ directory. I may suggest you repeat the migration process from old host to new one. Or finally, you can ask your actual host to help with the migration. Most hosts in our days do provide with free migration as part of their support.

    I backed up my htaccess file, deleted it, logged out and back in again and I now have my plugins back however it is still showing default theme and all my media is missing. Im clearly doing something wrong.

    Go to phpMyAdmin using cPanel and check if you have imported the database correctly.

    Thank you but I have resolved it. I downloaded fresh wpadmin and wpincludes files and uploaded them. Everything has now kicked into action.

    Glad to hear that everything is working as expected now.
