 * Hi,
 * I tried to transfer my wp site to a new host. I got the backup of FTP and db.
   I uploaded them to the new host server but the images seems to not shown. I log
   in to wp admin but I see the names of the images but there are no images there.
   
   Thanks,

 * Hello @Beiggio,
 * I see your website images properly, Only problems with two images as its 404 
   so you can upload those two images at given path for e.g. your logo is not available
   on given path.

 * Dear beriggio
 * Thank you for reaching out to the support forums! I have taken a look at your
   problem and website mentioned with your question. It seems like it’s just a matter
   of URL-corruption. Good news! We can handle that together!
 * **First let me explain a few things on the WordPress-media feature**
    When you
   upload an image to your WP-media it saves locally on your server and a direct
   URL to the image is also stored in the database. For example if you upload an
   image of a clown to your website, the clown is saved locally and a link to it
   is stored in the database (e.g. _[http://example.com/clown.png](http://example.com/clown.png)_).
 * **Cause of your problem**
    When you migrate your website – even though you backup
   your files and database – the clown-URL that is stored in the database keeps 
   untouched when you upload everything to your new server.
 * **Facts**
    Your website _[http://www.hotel-tekstil.com](http://www.hotel-tekstil.com)_
   is requesting images from _tehuca.com_, which is – as I assume – your original
   server. As if this server is not existing anymore, images could not be resolved.
 * **My advice**
    I strongly recommend you to login to your WP-Dashboard and check
   your theme preferences. There must be several media fields (e.g. _logo_) that
   is still requesting images from your previous server.
 * I’m hoping this will solve your problem. Don’t hesitate to reply if you need 
   further assistance.

 * Hi Jens,
 * Thank you very much for the very informational reply.
 * This can be right because I am moving tehuca.com also.
 * I am going to probably upload these images manually again to server since I have
   all of these images locally at my computer.
 * Thanks again,
 * Berke
