That is very reassuring. Based on your feedback, I tried switching the nameservers to the new server again and just waiting it out a little longer. So far it has been about 14 hours and it is still not working. I know I may just have to wait some more, but if you wouldn’t mind just checking it out in case you can tell right away that there is an actual problem… I left the debug function on… the URL is [http://www.ramahoutdoors.org](http://www.ramahoutdoors.org) * Thanks! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moved WP site to new server, kept same domain name, but theme won't load](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-wp-site-to-new-server-kept-same-domain-name-but-theme-wont-load/) * Thread Starter [dan.carmeli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dancarmeli/) * (@dancarmeli) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-wp-site-to-new-server-kept-same-domain-name-but-theme-wont-load/#post-2193153) * The problems I was experiencing occurred immediately after the DNS change took effect (which was only about 3-4 hours after I made the change). Is it possible that I just needed to give it more time? * I only have one “warning” message… the rest are notices. But I think it stems from the URL not being exactly what it would be normally. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moved WP site to new server, kept same domain name, but theme won't load](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-wp-site-to-new-server-kept-same-domain-name-but-theme-wont-load/) * Thread Starter [dan.carmeli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dancarmeli/) * (@dancarmeli) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-wp-site-to-new-server-kept-same-domain-name-but-theme-wont-load/#post-2193123) * the A record IP address is 66.96.147.108. The URL (which will take you to the stable old server is [http://www.ramahoutdoors.org](http://www.ramahoutdoors.org)). the new server said I can also access using [http://www.ramahoutdoorsorg.ipage.com](http://www.ramahoutdoorsorg.ipage.com). * As it turns out, using this URL actually displays the website almost perfectly( with a little glitch that I can fix easily). Why would it be working now…? * I also put the code into wp-config and now there are a bunch of error messages at the top of the site… * Thanks!

Clicking on “activate” or “preview” didn’t do anything. Also the screenshot didn’t show up. At this point I have changed the nameservers back to point to the old server because I couldn’t afford for the site to be down any longer. As such, I can’t do any front-end fixing through wp-admin nor will the URL provide you with any insight. However, I can still access the files and database housed on the new server. Can you recommend a way to check the same info through that avenue rather than through wp-admin? * If need be, I may be able to change the nameservers back for limited time periods, but I would prefer to avoid doing that… * Thanks!!
