Before I created the package I had defined the site url and home page in the wp-config file, and in the functions.php file in my theme. * When I redefined it to the new site it works. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moved my site, but the links all point to the old site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-my-site-but-the-links-all-point-to-the-old-site/) * Thread Starter [BFarthing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bfarthing/) * (@bfarthing) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-my-site-but-the-links-all-point-to-the-old-site/#post-3377308) * WordPress says to export the database. I think I exported the tables before, and imported them into my new server’s database. Is that what I’m supposed to do, or should I be exporting the entire database? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moved my site, but the links all point to the old site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-my-site-but-the-links-all-point-to-the-old-site/) * Thread Starter [BFarthing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bfarthing/) * (@bfarthing) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-my-site-but-the-links-all-point-to-the-old-site/#post-3377229) * Yeah, that’s what I used as I guide. I was trying to figure out which step I botched. Maybe starting over would be best? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Trouble connecting to mysql server](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-connecting-to-mysql-server/) * Thread Starter [BFarthing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bfarthing/) * (@bfarthing) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-connecting-to-mysql-server/#post-3374206) * Yeah, they should be. Unfortunately, they’re a jack-of-all trades cable provider, and the person I’m doing the site for won’t change. * Turns out they’d given me the wrong host name. Once I got that right I was able to go through the install process. * I have more issues, but they’re different so I’ll start a different thread. * Thanks for the help, lifeinthegrid. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Trouble connecting to mysql server](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-connecting-to-mysql-server/) * Thread Starter [BFarthing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bfarthing/) * (@bfarthing) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-connecting-to-mysql-server/#post-3374149) * I’m on a hosted server. I don’t run anything from my home machine. I’m looking at different solutions on google, but I’m not sure whether I should be doing these things on my hard drive or on the server where my website is hosted. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Trouble connecting to mysql server](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-connecting-to-mysql-server/) * Thread Starter [BFarthing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bfarthing/) * (@bfarthing) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-connecting-to-mysql-server/#post-3374011) * The tech support guy said it was a local issue.

But everything I’m researching looks like there’s a problem with it, or the apache commands. I’m not sure what my next step should be. Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total)
