In reply to: [Login for Google Apps] Problem: incompatibility with "Theme My Login"Was there any resolution to this issue? I’m also using TML and I’m having the same issue: The user presses ‘Login with Google’, accepts the authentication, and then they’re returned to the login page. The user is never logged in throughout this process.
The login page created by TML is mysite/login/ instead of mysite/wp-login.php. To begin with, I kept getting a URI error stating that mysite/login/ was not listed in the allowed URIs. I added it to the accepted URIs in my Client ID and it would allow it to proceed, but that’s when it started returning the user to the /login/ page without logging them in.

In reply to: Access to subfolders giving 404 errorI figured as much. I created the new directory inside of the wordpress folder and it started working as expected. Not knowing if WordPress was installed in the root or in the subfolder ‘wordpress’ is what was keeping me from viewing it.
Thank you for the reply.

In reply to: Migrate local installation to existing site with existing databaseIn the end I just hopped on FTP and uploaded my local content. This meant that I had to go in and set the new theme, restore all of posts and pages manually, and fix broken image links and the navigation. It took quite a bit longer than I wanted to, but I had higher-ups breathing down my neck to get it done.
Thanks for the help on this Creatrix.

In reply to: Migrate local installation to existing site with existing databaseThank you for the reply. So just to recap (and have it put somewhere perminent for my own reference):
1. Update the wp-config.php file from my local installation to match the database details from the live site. I’ll need to change the DB name, DB host (which from my understanding will generally be ‘localhost’ even on the live server), DB password, and I already know the live DB uses the wp_ table prefix.
2. Backup the posts and pages to an xml file because these will not carry over since I’m not going to be using the local DB on the live site.
3. Move the entire wordpress installation over to the live site via FTP.
One final question I have pertains to links. Since all pages, posts, images, etc. are using locations found on my local machine, will I need to manually change them all once the site is migrated? Is there an automated method to accomplish this?
I’m trying to cover all my bases here because I do not have access to the cPanel for the site. If after this migration I lose access to the site itself, I will have no way to correct the issue. Thanks again for your time and patience.

In reply to: Migrate local installation to existing site with existing databaseWhat will my local site retain once it’s moved over? Will it keep its uploads and other media? As far as the posts and pages go, isn’t there a way to back those up to an xml file and then import it back once the site is live?
As for HeidiSQL, wouldn’t I need credentials to access the area of the server where the database is stored?
Excuse my ignorance and thank you very much for the support.
