X Theme Cornerstone not showing elements in backend. Broken front end

Support
#1

Hi–I just migrated a site from our dev environment (www.no-where.net/BackHome) to our live environment and while the live site does show most of the content, the backend acts like there’s no layout whatsoever.

I’ve cleared my cache (as per this therad: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/cornerstone-not-showing-all-its-dashboard-elemetns/925), updated Cornerstone to the latest version (2.05) and made sure that I’ve got the latest x theme version and WP version (5.1.0 and 4.8 respectively).

What’s going on? I need my content back, please.

Hi,

May I know your whole process in migrating your site.

Wordpress stores many data as serialize data as well as cornerstone.

Manually changing the url in the database can make this serialized data invalid.

If your dev environment still exist, you can redo the migration by following our guide below.

Hope that helps

My migration process goes approximately like this:

  1. Ensure all version of WP, themes, plugins, etc. are up to date.

  2. Install WP on “live site” hosting account

  3. Export my dev DB using PHPMyAdmin

  4. Import DB into newly created live site DB

  5. Copy over the Wp-Content folder from Dev to Live

  6. Update URLs in database to reflect the correct home URLs

It works every time. I hate having to use third party plugins to do for me what I can do myself- I assume that my final step of manually updating the URLs in the DB is what caused this mess?

Hi There,

You’re correct. Since Cornerstone is using serialized data, manually updating URLs is not recommended. Please refer to the guide previously shared and used a plugin for updating URLs instead.
