Hi,
this weekend I moved my website developed with Newspaper to live server. I followed the standard procedure for moving wordpress from localhost to live server. Once uploaded both files and DB, made the changes in db entry and wp-config. I got an error 500 response. I couldn’t access even the Admin panel. After having disabled .htaccess and plugins I’ve been still having the same problem. So I tried to disable the theme renaming the folder and … wordpress was back to life. I can login to the panel and it works fine, but I can’t use my developed newspaper.
On localhost the site worked perfectly.
Have you any suggestion ?
Hello simonefavaro,
Sorry for this, but please notice that it seems to be a problem with your site migrating which are not covered by our support, sorry! It does not depend on our theme but WordPress. First of all, you should make a full backup to your database and then, if the new server is chosen you should consult the following topic here -> http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-move-wordpress-to-a-new-host-or-server-with-no-downtime/ and try to migrate your website according to this guide.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Catalin,
I’ve found the solution. In some way, WordPress doesn’t want an already activated theme. I installed a fresh Newspaper on live site, activated it and then copied the exported theme panel settings and it worked. The problem was that all your plugin, such as JS Composer, TagDiv Mobile or TagDiv Social, weren’t seen by Newspaper. I had to uninstall and reinstall them again.
I deployed a lot of sites in the past from localhost to live server, but this is the first time such a situation happened. Probably when you activate theme on localhost, theme registers something associating the theme to that server. So, when you deploy it to live server it simply breaks.
Anyway I found the solution.
