Migration

flips01 · September 2019

Hi!
I set up a site at a one URL (testing/lab server), then migrated it to it's main domain.

I copied the files, took search replace for file paths and URLs in the SQL file, imported the DB, installed and used the Muffin Builder Migration tool to search/replace URLs.

Everything works, except all the theme options (favicon, colors, fonts etc) seems to be forgotten in the process/migration ...

So, where/how are the Betheme options stored?

Hello,

Can you migrate your website once more?

But this time, use this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

It works very well with our theme.

Thanks

Uhm, too late to do it again, I'll try that one later.
Had to manually recreate stuff.

But can you point me to where theme options are stored? In the DB? Encoded somehow (as search&replace didn't work on that particular part)?

All of the Theme Options are saved in the database.

We suggest, not to touch it in any way - it could make your theme work not correctly or even corrupt it.

Thanks

What could cause ALL BeTheme options to be forgotten (while everything else worked)?

Pablo · September 2019

It's hard to tell - any of our plugins or settings couldn't make that.

Only erasing your database manually (or by using some plugins) could make that.

Thanks

I imported the entire db during migration, only searched&replaced URLs and file paths. And the BeTheme options were indeed not carried over -- as in lost ... (I wish I could say this was the first time I had such trouble migrating BeTheme sites, but it wasn't.)

(Only trying to figure out how to not have the same issue the next time I'm migrating from lab to production.)

To not to have this same issue, please use our supported plugins for migrating the website:

To migrate:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
