How to port from a corrupted WordPress database, or “clean it”?
-
Hello everyone, I have a problem with a WordPress website that I am trying to solve.
It is for a client, who said had problems with plugins not updating automatically. Then uninstalled a plugin named LearnPress, and after that was not able to access Elementor – it crashed when loading. The client than changed php settings such as Time to Load (set to 300) and updated php to 8.1.
After this the website gives a 500 error.
I imported the website to analyze it and:
– checked .htaccess
– reinstalled wordpress files,
– reverted to default theme, no plugins.
– PHP 7.4.
The website still gives 500 error, and prints no error with DB_debug = yes (which is weird), so I have no idea where the error is.
The recovery link also gives a 500 error.
My question then is: what to do in situations like this?
1) is there a way to “clean” the core part of the database, to ensure any misconfiguration leading to a 500 error is solved?
2) I have an old dev databased version. Is there a way to easily port pages, and content from certain plugins? Is it simply copying the databases table entries?
Thank you very much! -
We can’t help as that site wasn’t running on the wordpress.com platform. You must take a look in the documentation at wordpress.org to solve this problem yourself.
