You’re most welcome.
Let us know if you need anything else.
Thanks. Have a lovely day! 🙂
Clearing the caching plugin resolved the issue once in one location, but the issue is still persisting from multiple locations for me 🙁
Hello There,
To better test this issue, please completely deactivate your caching plugin. Having it this way will help us determine which is causing the issue.
Please let us know how it goes.
A bit of a related two-fold question:
1) How do I handle the API Key as part of migration?
2) Can I use something like Duplicator to migrate? Or is there some reason why manual is the only way to do it?
Oh and follow-up question: if I’m moving from subdomain to domain as per your manual instructions, do I install WordPress on the main domain first?
Thanks!
Hi Nakkertokadmin,
Thanks for writing in.
1. You can revoke your existing API key and generate new one for your target/live site.
2. You can use, but something that is automatic could cause more mess when it fails.
3. Don’t need, you just need to point your main domains to the sub folder where your dev site is.
Cheers!
I don’t know if this belongs here. I’m on all the latest versions, no plugins or anything, using x child and made all my pages using cornerstone.
All developed locally, and when pushed to a server, everything displays exactly how I made it, but as soon as I click ‘Edit with Cornerstone’ on one page, it gives me the welcome screen, and I’ unable to edit any content..
Need urgent help with this, followed the advice to ditch VC and go CS for new sites, but now I feel I’m screwed. Please tell me the secret place in the database where cornerstone remembers that it is no longer running on the original local dev server.
Much appreciated!
I resolved this issue. Themeco really needs an article about dev to production on their knowledge base though. Don’t find and replace in the local database dump to replace the URL.
Just upload the local db to the remote, change the site and home url in wp_options, and then use that Velvet URL replacer.
Not sure if the GUID thing needs to be checked, but I checked it, and after it is all done (and generates a gazillion errors), it says success and you can edit pages that were created locally with Cornerstone on your new remote site.
On a side note/suggestion, it is highly recommended and a lot nicer to design with CS locally than over remote. Perhaps there should be an option to tell your WP installation whether this URL is a dev or prod environment (let’s assume Automattic won’t do it, so Themeco could put it in the customizer). This then would disable the fancy “realtime typing” in the many page elements, and other bells and whitsles that make CS fairly bloated on slower internet connections.
Kudos to the team for developing a relatively solid 1.0!
Thank you for the kind words!
Are these migration instructions still applicable with cornerstone (and the whole serialized data issue – whereby content can’t be edited with cornerstone properly when you go from localhost to live server?)
Hi James,
You can use one of these third party plugins in moving your site from localhost to live site.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/Hope that helps.
Hello, I just tried the manual steps you outlined moving my site from my subdomain test.chmweatherguard.com to the root, chmweatherguard.com, and nothing changed. If you go to http://www.chmweatherguard.com you’ll see just the default look. BUT, if you go to test.chmweatherguard.com you’ll see the site I wanted to move over.
I followed all of your steps and it didn’t work. PLEASE HELP!!
Nevermind, I fixed it.
Glad to hear you’re able to sort it out. Cheers!
I have just one tiny problem with migration. After I’ve created a website at my local dev server, and moved it to a live server, I’ve updated every path in the database and files, and everything works correctly in the frontend. Backend is working too, only the Cornerstone editor loads a blank page instead the previously created content. So I can’t edit the page in Cornerstone. What am I missing?
Hi there,
Thanks for writing in !
To prevent this issue please follow https://community.theme.co/kb/cornerstone-migration/ to migrate cornerstone content.
Thanks.
