I think I used this one but probably messed it up, I was in a rush that day and kind of sped through it: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
My index.php file looks like this: <?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/
/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
I think you need to review all of those instructions again. When carried out correctly, there should be no errors.
But I dont know what I did wrong and I cant really go back, ist there some way to trouble shoot this and fix it?
I am no longer able to get into the original that I copied from
Do you still have a database backup?
not sure, where would i find that?
It would be the file that you uploaded to the database on the new site.
yes, i have that from the original and from the new one that i uploaded
Then I suggest you trash the new install and try again with a fresh one.
I am not sure where to start, I can’t log into the old one on my local host, but I can log into the new one on local.
Not sure what I can do if I cant get logged into it, I am using the correct credentials for it, I can log into the new one. Any suggestions?
Loaded the backup and it is still not working
I am now getting this error:
