Wordpress website migrate

[Admin]

I had another look at the video, and I think it’s pretty good. The method it takes is not how I would do it, but it should work here. But by transferring the content of the site rather than the site as a whole, you can avoid having to touch wp-config.php entirely (because the database and matching configuration would be created by Softaculous).

The method we usually recommend is to copy all the files, and manually create the database and plug it into the config. Both methods are fine, but they are different, so that may have caused some confusion here.

Excuse me please, I am just a cleaning mean, which try to learn. I have never done it before. Unfortunately, I can not afford to pay someone, to help me. I have really tried to do everything from the YouTube video. @YT_Xaos can you tell me please, if now it should be all right?

[YT_Xaos]

Your website seems to be working, so yes.

[Mltxyz]

This is the website from infinityfree: http://testngac.rf.gd/
ngac.ro is still redirected to the old host, which I am going to change with infintiyfree, when http://testngac.rf.gd will work.

[Mltxyz]

Any new ideas please? How to fix the website please? I can offer the username and the password to someone to take a quick look , please. Thank you.

I took a closer look to the file in the screenshot and I think I’ve found the problem: now the database name and user are changed in place and are respectively the database user and name instead. As database name you should put what you put on the database user and vice versa.

[Mltxyz]

This is my last update, version:

[JxstErg1]

Now the database user and database name are equal, while they shouldn’t be; the value for the database name is the database user name, followed by the database actual name separated by an underscore (so if0_35869908_wp908).

[Frank419]

/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define( 'DB_NAME', 'if0_35869908_wp908' );

/** Database username */
define( 'DB_USER', 'if0_35869908' );

I don’t know why it is so hard for you to understand what should you write inside that config, but here’s the final version for you.

[Mltxyz]

Thank you @Frank419
Unfortunately, still the same, the web site is not working.

[Frank419]

Could you please enable debug mode by changing

define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );

to

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

so you can see the actual error cause?

[Mltxyz]

Done. Thank you @Frank419

[Frank419]

Is your password correct? Judging from the error I can only suppose that you accidentally chose the wrong password.

[Mltxyz]

Thank you @Frank419
I have just changed the password with this one from this print screen:

Before, it was the password from the next ptint screen:

It is an old print screen, wich I posted in here a few days before, when there was no mysql database.
Unfortunately, the website is still not working.

The new print screen, after changing the password.

@Mltxyz

I have just changed the password with this one from this print screen:

This is even more wrongful. You never use your client area credentials in your website.

@Mltxyz

Before, it was the password from the next ptint screen:

This was indeed correct.
You may wanted to change this password from “Account Settings” to force it to update, then use this password you just set again.

Also, make sure the DB_NAME match the actual DB you’re using — Access denied sometimes means the DB is non-existent.

Common MySQL Connection Errors

Many websites use MySQL databases to store information and settings. However, there are some reasons why the connection to the database may fail. This article describes some commonly seen error messages when connecting to a database, as well as some general tips to keep in mind when setting up a database connection. Common Error Messages Using MySQL is great, but the error message returned if there is an issue logging in to your database can be quite confusing. Here are some commonly seen error…

[Mltxyz]

You are awesome @Frank419 ! Some parts of the website are working. Do you have any ideas about these errors please?

[Frank419]

This means the plugin redux-framework is so old that it cannot keep up with the latest PHP version. I advice you to seek for a new version of the plugin that supports PHP 8.2, or just stop using that plugin and use an alternative option.
You have to google that unfortunately, as I have no idea about what that plugin does.

---

You may ignore that right now as Deprecated functions may still work for a while. Change the WP_DEBUG option back to false will hide these errors. But it’s still recommended to seek for a new version instead.

[Admin]

@Frank419

But it’s still recommended to seek for a new version instead.

Not necessarily. It’s possible the plugin authors are already aware of this and are working to fix this in a future release, so they are ready when PHP decides that this obsolete code will stop working.

So I would suggest to just disable WP_DEBUG and ignore these messages.

[Mltxyz]

All of you, are wonderful, for the working site.
Hopefully, last 5 questions please, if you can give me some advices where to ask, please.

1. What should I write into the nameserver fields for redirecting ngac.ro to testngac.rf.gd?
2. The host where is situated ngac.ro now, sent me the next errors that are in the website. Can someone give me an advice how to repair them?

3. The documents from the actual host for ngac.ro are infected, if you search on virustotal for ngac.ro it will show. I think it was quite more pozitive infections before. Any advices, how not to happen again?
4. In the right down corner, it is a plugin with reviews. Unfortunely, the reviews from Facebook are not updated automatically, like they did before August 2023. The last shown review from Facebook in that plugin, is from August 2023. From then on, many more reviews were posted on Facebook page. The reviews from Google are up to date automatically, on the plugin. Does anyone know what is the name on that plugin, with the reviews?
5. The direct contact for the formular on the website, where disabled by someone from the host company, because I was receiving many spam e-mails, and they adviced me to add a captcha for that formular, so I will not receive spam. Until then, they told me what they did to disalbe it, and what should I to to activate it. Can someone say how to activate it and add a captcha for it on infinityfree?
   This is the message from the admin from my actualhost:
   I disabled the sending of emails from the site by changing from Wordpress → WP SMTP → mail.ngac.ro to mail2.ngac.ro .
   In order for the emails to work again, I would like to ask you to delete number 2 from the respective setting.

Best regards.

What should I write into the nameserver fields for redirecting ngac.ro to testngac.rf.gd?

Unfortunately there’s no such thing. You have to add ngac.ro as a regular domain first:

How to point your domain name to InfinityFree nameservers

Before you can add your domain name to your hosting account, you need to point it to the InfinityFree nameservers. The nameservers of your domain name are a setting at your domain registrar to allow you to host a domain name with a different provider. So you need to change these settings at the site where you bought your domain name. Most registrars have different panels and we can’t cover them all in this guide. For this guide, we’ll use NameSilo as an example. Step 0: Find the correct namese…

After that, there will be some hassle:

How to move a website to a different directory

Every website is linked to a certain htdocs directory on your account. But sometimes you need to move a website from one htdocs directory to another. This may be necessary if: You are moving to a different domain name (e.g. a free subdomain to a custom domain). You have recreated your domain name and it was assigned to a different directory. Fortunately, there is no need to rebuild your website from scratch. It’s not difficult to move your website from one directory to another. How to move a…

@Mltxyz

The host where is situated ngac.ro now, sent me the next errors that are in the website.

This domain is currently on another hosting, I’m afraid this is out of our reach.

@Mltxyz

Any advices, how not to happen again?

Only install plugin / theme from trusted source, avoid the nulled / pirated versions, then your site should be safe.

@Mltxyz

In the right down corner, it is a plugin with reviews. Unfortunely, the reviews from Facebook are not updated automatically

Again, this is a third party plugin which is out of our reach. You may ask the plugin developers about this issue.

@Mltxyz

Can someone say how to activate it and add a captcha for it on infinityfree?

I see how you are using mail.ngac.ro as your mail server — unfortunately there’s no free email here, you have to find a seperate email hosting service.

Moreover, since you have the need of SMTP, you are expected to pay a little money on this. Some free email services like Zoho, have no SMTP on their free plan.

It is possible that you change the nameservers back to original and add the necessary records so you can continue to use your current mail servers.

As for adding captcha, it depends on how well your plugin supports captcha. Normally it might support google’s recaptcha, but you still have to seek for the developers’ help.
