Question

Wordpress broken after droplet transfer

Posted January 16, 2021 335 views
WordPressOpenLiteSpeed WordPress 1-ClickDigitalOcean Droplets

Hi,

I had a fully functioning wordpress droplet, after transferring the droplet to another account and deleting the site from the first, I replaced the old droplet ip with the new one in the database using the wp-cli tool.

The homepage openned but the wp-admin page broke saying there’s a critical error, and now even the homepage won’t show.

I tried disabling the plugins and themes and turning on debugging mode but there are no errors in the apache access, apache error, or debug logs.

Hi there @Shalashtein,

Can you share the exact critical error that you are seeing?

Also have you checked your database to make sure that the search and replace went through correctly?

Regards,
Bobby

    That’s the thing, no errors are being logged. I just see “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” without even an email.

    I have double-checked the database as well.

    Thanks

      Hi there,

      What I could suggest in this case is to add the following PHP Debugging snippet in the begining of your wp-config.php file:

      // Debugging
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ERROR);
register_shutdown_function("fatal_handler");
function fatal_handler() {
    $error = error_get_last();
    echo("");
    print_r($error);
}

      Feel free to share the errors here.

      Regards,
      Bobby
