I bought a wordpress site from a guy, and it works great, (see www.gifgirl.com), but when I tried to move it to a new server, for some reason the template is not working anymore, so can someone fix this? The seller seems to have disappeared, so i can't get an answer from him, but here is what the new server is acting like coolvids. org.

If you can either get the template to work, or get the same code to work on a new, or custom/modified template, that be great. I am thinking a template similar to justanfyi. com?

Post here if you can do the job.

Before you go and pay someone two things - did you double check to ensure all the files were uploaded and did you change the directory structure any?

Maybe this isnt an issue with your template but with some of your installed plugins.
Did you try to change template to the default one just to see if your page loads?

I had downloaded the site from the original upload month's ago when I bought the site, and www.projectchristmas.com is working fine (and popular in China) but the only thing I did was I toke the original db, and replaced it with the new domain name... if anyone knows about wordpress, I would be willing to give you access to fix whatever is causing this...

Makis, I have the same site installed on justanfyi.com, with the plugins etc, but I installed this theme to see if I can get it to work on a new template...

The site is designed to be a sort of search engine.

Old trick is to use this theme to another website of yours like justanfyi.com and see what happens, if it works then its about your plugins, if not you must search a bit deeper.
From what I see coolvids.org source code is completely empty...
Does this theme have any options in the backend?

Sure sounds like your server paths have changed because you moved servers.

In the database you may need to change to your new server paths - templates and plugins may reference these.

/home/mrdeleted/www/mywebsite/wp-content/themes/ - old

/home/newserver/www/mywebsite/wp-content/themes/ - new

That's where I'd start considering you moved from one server to another.

Look in the database for the wp_options table.

Try to see if two values need to be changed in option_name. If you are using PHPMyAdmin:

siteurl
will be the first value on page 1. Enter the new domain in option_value without the forward slash.

home
will be about the 7th one down on page 2. Enter the new domain in option_value without the forward slash.

Have you properly propagated nameservers for the domain, so that when you upload files, everything will respectively display and work together?

I couldn't think of anything else, to be honest, other than what I mentioned in the post below. Do you know if they managed to resolve their issue?

My name servers are pointed to ns1. - ns2.nominality.com just like the host said, and there should be no issues there. I pointed Nominiality.com to the same IP address/DNS too.
