Strangest problem with moving hosts….their technical support was baffled…

    I have spent the night trying to move hosts….

    1) backed up in full the database and site contents to local.

    2) uploaded database to new host.

    3) Upload site to new host, with new config file settings

    4) changed nameservers at registrars, waited, site seemed to working fine.

    Ok this is where it gets strange, i logged to try and check it had happened, so i thought a good way, would be to delete some plugins i dont need.

    So i deleted two by logging into the new host with the new FTP details, refreshed, nothing happened in the plugins page.

    So, i logged into the old server via ftp, deleted a different plugin, refreshed, and the plugin had been removed.

    I phoned my technical support and they confirmed that the correct the domain was pointing at the correct IP etc. He was a friendly guy and said he had experience with wordpress but he was baffled what would do this, he checked my config file and it definately is pointing to the new server.

    I cant believe it would make a difference but this is on a subdomain.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Ok this is getting even weirder, everything seems to be fine now, as in it is talking to the new sever etc. However when i try to post a new article, i get this error.

    WordPress database error: [Table ‘XXXXX_XXXXX.wp_post2cat’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT cat_ID AS ID, MAX(post_modified) AS last_mod FROM wp_posts p LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat pc ON p.ID = pc.post_id LEFT JOIN wp_categories c ON pc.category_id = c.cat_ID WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ GROUP BY cat_ID

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /mnt/gs02/herd03/27371/domains/xxxxxxx.com/html/wp-includes/wp-db.php:160) in /mnt/gs02/herd03/27371/domains/xxxxxxx.com/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 390

    Is that still to do with DNS issues, i followed the move wordpress, to the letter.

    Nope, that’s a different issue, stemming from the fact that you are using a plugin that is incompatible with WordPress 2.3. Please check to see if you are using any of the plugins on this list — in which case, you should remove or get a new version of them.
