Hi guys. I need to transfer a few Wp blogs form one host to another. here is what I did: 1. back-up database form old host. 2. back up theme, plugin and uploads folders from old host 3. add new domain (same name) on new host 4. create new database on new host 5. copy wordpress files on new host. 6. overwrite theme, plugin and uploads folders to new host 7. imported database from old to new host. so far so good. But this is where things are not working right. My website doesn't show up, when I try to access it. Just a blank page. if i try to access the wp-admin, I can, everything is ok. I log in, see my posts, pages, all is ok. But my website doesn't show up What's wrong? any ideas? what can I do?
Did you have wp-super-cache installed? Some plugins save the server path in either the database or like the cache plugin in file in wp-content directory. Open the file and correct the server path. Everything else should be ok from the steps you mentioned. From my own experience I found out it's a good idea to delete the domain from the old server, I think it helps in the dns propagation for some TLDs.
