I was loosely following this tutorial to move my existing wordpress site (although what I ended up doing was just created a normal Ubuntu droplet and manually installing each package):
https://devopscube.com/migrate-wordpress-site-digital-ocean-cloud-server/
Although by the end of it i realized that my blog kept pointing to my original one, so i followed this bit here to force my ported version on Digital Ocean to actually utilize its local files: https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/#edit-functions-php
And I got as far as getting this far: http://104.236.73.128/blog/
But now if i try to access any of the existing posts it comes up blank. What could I be missing here…?

Hi @ktonegawa,
I can see I’m able to access the website using http://104.236.73.128/blog/ and clicking the blog posts is possible, good job!
Can you share what was the issue you experienced in case someone else finds this question and would find it helpful?
Regards, KFSys
