Support » Themes and Templates » Theme settings not saving during migration, need help…

    I have noticed, in the last few months, that some Theme’s reset their settings during a website migration.

    I’ve been working in WordPress for like 8 years so this is definitely new, and it’s happening with sites that I’ve never managed before the migration so there’s no clear pattern I can identify.

    It’s insanely frustrating because I’m just cloning the files from one server to another and exporting/importing the MySQL database respectively. No files are being left behind that I’m aware of, no changes to the database file beside updating the URL.

    Here’s an example:
    Broken: http://makecontest.theportlandcompany.com/
    Working: http://www.makecontest.com/

    I believe the issue was that I wasn’t updating the *path* in the SQL file. I used WP Migrate DB to export the MySQL file and that worked.
