Site stops working when I transfer from MAMP to live

A few months ago, one of my sites stopped working. The header stopped displaying and there are problems in the back end with the way the editor pages display.

I created a new site, with a clean installation of WP and a clean installation of BeTheme on a local dev environment using MAMP, and it worked perfectly on my desktop so I migrated to live and the same problems have come back. I've just spent 3 hours with Hostgator support and in the end, they said they couldn't find anything on the server that could be causing the problem, so here it is...

1. When I'm logged in as admin, the admin menu doesn't display at the top. Instead, all the menu entries appear as text links in the footer of the page.
2. the header doesn't display at all. I tried switching from transparent to classic, but nothing changed
3. In the back end, the content pane is split in two and I can see the muffin builder div code. there's no way to switch into visual mode.

I've had to redirect the site to a different domain in case a client tries to view it, but you can see what's happening at http://robcuesta.com/home-3/

Any suggestions? We've checked DNS settings, and also raised max_input_vars to 10000 (that was my first instinct, but sadly not correct)

  • Hi,

    if you will have a look into JS console, you will see that you got there lot's of errors that says jQuery is not defined. Not sure why you got this information but this might be caused or by 3rd party plugins or something is blocked on hosting end. We also see, some extra codes that doesn't come with the original theme version so this might be the reason as well.

    Thanks!
  • Thanks. Where are the extra codes? The theme was a new install on a clean WP instance, so I'm not sure where they would have come from.
  • You got them in few different places so if you didn't put any, they may come with your extra plugins and this is the reason why you need to disable them all to check if this is not the reason.
