live site do not update after importing sql database

Question

My live website is not updating after importing sql database from wamp local server until last time all went perfect but last night I was not able to see the changes live made in local. what I did: - worked in local creating page and uploading a new contat php page and a contact template - made some change in the front end (style) - Exported database in sql format - changed links in sql (local to live ) - Imported in live mysql database - updated the stylesheet with the changes and also uploaded the new contact form to live via ftp

nothing happened. Only the style changes took effect I did not see any new menu added and not any new pages that i created. The contact form is not present, and also the new template I created for the form. Pratically, the DB Sql Live didn't change.

I have wordpress 4.2 updated yesterday in live website

P.s. I disabled also the cache in wp config to try to solve but Nothing changed Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

I had something similar, entries of some post types didnt show.

If your posts have the same IDs between dev/live environment, get the edit URL and replace the ID to see if it loads. Like :

http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=23&action=edit

Replace the ID (here '23') by the ID of the post/page/anythingelse you cannot see in live.

If this solves your problem, that could mean a strange bug in the Wordpress update...

This was an issue I was dealing with while changing from a MacAir to a MacPro. I definitely recommend utilizing WP All In One Migrator & then installing the free extension for it to increase import space. Save it as a file, import it on the new site. Piece of cake, if you encounter any errors I would just email the devs of the app for some free advice there too
