Hi. I have read and followed the migrate kb (https://community.theme.co/kb/cornerstone-migration/) to migrate my production site to a dev instance on my pc running wamp/wp 4.7.2 using wp-db-migrate. The export import seemed to all go smoothly and I see the new tables in my dev database. When I refresh the localhost site though, it still just shows the original install with the default WP theme, no X, no plugins, no content.

It all went so smoothly (no errors) that I can’t figure out why it didn’t seem to work. Any other guidance or tips for me to investigate?

Thanks

Hi there,

Thanks for posting in.

1. Template version tag, please check this https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes, there is no standard that it should include template version tag. If it’s just a version, then it’s there ( 1.0.0 )

2. .gallery-caption, yes, because X theme uses .wp-caption-text which is basically the same. Example,

.wp-caption>.wp-caption-text, .wp-caption>.wp-caption-text:last-child, .gallery-item>.wp-caption-text, .gallery-item>.wp-caption-text:last-child {
    display: block;
    margin: 9px 0 5px;
    padding: 0 5%;
    font-size: 10px;
    line-height: 1.2;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

We can add something like this

.gallery-caption {

}

But it has no use, it just adds to the file size.

3. Textdomain, it’s normal since plugins and authors are different authors/developer. They can’t force every author to use the same textdomain 🙂

4. Child theme slug, yes, your child theme folder name should be /x-child/ and not /x-child-theme/. You can rename it through FTP. But make sure to backup your site again, switching to different theme could reset menus and widgets. And renaming folder name is the same as switching to another theme.

Thanks!

Hi,

Please check your wp-config.php file and make sure you have correct settings for your db.

EG.

DB_HOST
DB_NAME
DB_USER
DB_PASSWORD

Then navigate to wp-content/themes and wp-content/plugins an make sure you have all the plugin files and theme files in there.

Thanks

Just getting back to this. I have checked my localhost dev instance wp-config file and it has the correct informaiton – and the db migrate from production to dev went with out errors. This is my first time trying to set a dev instance. Do i need to copy the production wp-content/themes and wp-content/plugins to the dev instance also? I did not do that before running wp db migrate as the kb guide did not indicated doing that.

Hi There,

So you did not copy the wp-content folder from live site to dev? Since you’re cloning the site you need to copy the entire WP folder and files. And then you just need to update the wp-config.php file to communicate with your local/dev database.

Thanks.
