Hi there, I’ve developed a site using Specular on a staging subdomain and am ready to transfer it to the root level of the domain to go live. I need to keep some database content on the live site intact (users and wp-events plugin registrants etc.).
Eg. https://staging.domainname.com –> https://www.domainname.com
What’s the best way to transfer this without having too much downtime?
I tried transferring from local to server once and had so many theme problems that I had to reinstall, so I’m a bit nervous about going live.
Thanks,
Rob

Hello,
Upload theme folder into your server wordpress installation and then upload database. We recommend to use WP migrate DB plugin to move database and automatically replace old url’s with the new ones. Although it’s gone be difficult to keep the old content of the destination database.
Or you can use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-and-replace/ to replace the old path with new path.Since you still have a copy of the site somewhere which is working without any issue , you can use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ and then move your site to a different location which will take care of the path issue for you.

Please note that this is an independent action from theme so it is out of our support scope.

Thanks,
I’ve copied the tables and uploads across, but the Codeless Slider and Specular settings don’t come across completely. What table are these settings stored in?
Codeless gives me this error on the home page:
<b style=”color: #777777; font-family: ‘Open Sans’; font-size: 13px;”>Warning</b><span style=”color: #777777; font-family: ‘Open Sans’; font-size: 13px;”>: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in </span><b style=”color: #777777; font-family: ‘Open Sans’; font-size: 13px;”>/home/atsafety/public_html/wp-content/themes/specular/includes/codeless-slider/codeless_slider.php</b><span style=”color: #777777; font-family: ‘Open Sans’; font-size: 13px;”> on line </span><b style=”color: #777777; font-family: ‘Open Sans’; font-size: 13px;”>148</b>

Hello,
This error is a result of incorrect db transfer.
It is not advisable to copy db tables separately as they are all connected. I suggest you use a plugin to help you make a complete transfer and change the links to the new domain correctly.Best regards!
