I have a website on my locally hosted XAMMP server (Windows). I need to transfer this over to 123Reg.
The XAMPP server runs: PHP 7.3.2 and MySQL 5.5.5; and the 123Reg server runs:PHP 7.2.16 and MySQL 5.5.5
I have tried using Duplicator. It works however I cannot access the Wordpress backend (wp-admin) using any admin credentials or make a new one in the Duplicator wizard and via the database (it would just say 'Sorry, you can't access this page', and yes, I have tried deleting plugins and editing the .htaccess file with no luck). I have tried a manual migration (export and restore files and database) as well with the same issue as the duplicator one.
Currently, I have installed a new version of Wordpress on the 123Reg server can copied the wp-content directory from the XAMPP server to the 123Reg one. However, this is not enough. I need the whole site (including pages), cloned so they look exactly as they are on the XAMPP server on the 123Reg server.
I was expecting it to transfer the site without errors as the site is fine on my XAMMP server, but it's not.
Am I doing something wrong? I am not sure of what to do now so I would appreciate any sort of help.

I'm working on a WordPress site via Sourcetree. The previous dev working on this project had set up a local server with Docker, however I have no experience with this.
My question is - how can I connect to localhost to start developing?
Note-
I've downloaded mysql, xampp and wordpress locally
I have experience developing wordpress sites locally (via an FTP such as FileZilla), however I've never done so with git included.
Thanks.
Try to follow these instructions:

Probably one thing that you are not doing properly is that your project doesn't sit in xampp/htdocs/myproject as that way you can access it through http://localhost/myproject
I have a live wordpress website, due to some problem my database table become empty. Now I have only files and folders of my website. So please guide me how to create a clone of my website in my wamp server localhost with existing file/folders in root directory without database file?
This plugin is an excellent tool to migrate from live to local and vice versa All in one wp migrator copies all files and database. But in your case not sure if it will help .
To copy the files locally all you need is filezilla and the ftp credentials which may be the same as cpanel credentials. Then copy all files to local folder for website of your wamp. Php myadmin on your live site dump the sql and import into your local wamp php .
Can you check if you have a back up via the cpanel under softaculous installer you may be able to restore a back up of the site.
If your database is empty and there is no backup then all the contents of your website (except for photos) are lost.
Your hosting company may have made automatic backups and you ought to contact them right away.
You can make a MAMP clone using your current files and images, but none of your old content will appear and your images will not appear in the Media Manager. The images will need to be re-imported.
To make a local MAMP site with your existing files, first create a new blank Wordpress installation using the following instructions:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP
A new contentless Wordpress database will be created in this process.
Then remove all the Wordpress files except wp-config.php and copy all your old live site's files into the folder. When you reload Wordpress it will be running off the live site's code and plugins.
I've been working on a Wordpress website on my web hosting server. But I wanted to start doing the Wordpress changes locally, while still using the database with all the posts and stuff that's already on the server.
I installed Wordpress on my computer, and had it connect successfully to that database, but going to localhost/website/wp-admin would redirect me to www.site.com/website/wp-admin, and then proceed to do everything on the server again, which I didn't want, and localhost/website would just appear blank.
I tried having Wordpress use a new test_database on the server, and it was happy with that. Wordpress started to run locally, localhost/website wasn't black, while using a database on the server. Even when I wiped out my local Wordpress and reinstalled it connecting to test_database, all the posts remained intact, and Wordpress was still running locally.
How come I was unable to get Wordpress running locally when I tried to connect to the first database?
You're trying to use the same WordPress database instance on two different URLs. You Can't Do That™. Someplace in the options table is the database's URL. It's used to construct many links in WordPress. That's why you're jumping back to the production server.
You can use a plugin like Duplicator to make a copy of your production web site to use as a staging server, or vice versa.
I am currently developing a WordPress project on a Windows machine (XAMPP) with my partner on a Mac (MAMP).
I installed WordPress on my local /htdocs, edited themes etc.
At the end of this all, I exported my WordPress database through PhpMyAdmin for my partner to install the whole project on his machine.
He has the /wordpress folder and imported the SQL with correct database names etc.
But whenever he goes to localhost:8888/wordpress it results in a 404 page not found error.
why?
The problem is, there are a lot of serialized things in the wordpress database, what you can not just find / replace.
I moved from localhost to production a ton of times wordpress sites.
So what you need to do is to:
Dump the database from local
Copy the files to production server
Import the database, but do not open the site in browser!
Download the script from here.
Unzip, and upload this into a wp-replace directory
Go to http://example.com/wp-replace/
Follow the instructions. Replace the olddomain.com to newdomain.com/wordpress (do not use http and trailing slash, add port if needs)
Go to the dashboard, login, and refresh the permalinks.
Done
I have a working WordPress website hosted at Hostgator which I want to move to Openshift. Till now I have done :
Downloaded the entire WP installation(including wp-includes, wp-admin,wp-content etc.)
Downloaded the original MySql database with phpmyadmin(both zipped and .sql format)
Installed fresh WP on Openshift, later I logged in into the database of this new installation and dropped all the tables(with phpmyadmin).
Thereafter uploaded the original database, successfully imported into the new Openshift database(with phpmyadmin).
Then I upload all original downloaded WordPress installation files into the Openshift one, overwriting everything.
Now I see a database connection error. I guess Openshift doesn't recognize wp-config.php details which consists of the Hostgator data(which I am confused as I don't know if I should be editing the one in the GIT folder or the one in the app-root/current).
Request a step-by-step process. Help appreciated.
My suggestion would be to use the Openshift Wordpress quickstart, and get a Wordpress application deployed and then just restore the DB.
