Migration outcome using the theme “Cubic”

    Hello,

    I was able to migrate the site (theme of Cubic) using the plain in  All-in-One WP Migration plugin . But it has an issue of the homepage missing CSS styling causing it to have images in different sizes and having text pushed out in varied positions. I’m unsure if this theme is restricted to WordPress.com or not…does anyone know?

    Attached is what it looks on wordpress.com vs what it looks on the new server.

    My question is: would you recommend that I use a different plugin to re-do the migration or is there a better way to fix this theme-relates CSS issue?

    Below is a screenshot of Original (all images are squares & text overlayed)

    Then here is the migrated version with wrong CSS (images are in different sizes & text are wonky)

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Without being able to see the site itself, it’s a little hard to know what exactly is wrong, but from your screenshot I might guess that it’s due to missing CSS like object-fit: cover for the featured images on your front/archive pages.

    As it is, Cubic is free to download; there’s a “download” button at the bottom of the theme info page:
    https://wordpress.com/theme/cubic/

    You could always try downloading it, removing the current version from your self-hosted site, and reinstalling it from the fresh download.

    Hi thanks for the response. The site URL is: https://kevingeaulee.photos/

    let me know if there’s any insights on what’s wrong pls. The alt. path is for me to re-do the whole thing from scratch and that seems excessive. Thanks

    Have you tried installing Jetpack and connecting it to see if that helps? That would set you up so you’re using the same CDN that we use here, and I’m guessing it was handling image cropping for you.

    Thanks for the reply, I’ve installed Jetpack now in my new hosting server (and the migrated site) and unsure what to do now when the Jetpack setup wizard is asking me to confirm my old details (when I was with wordpress.com) or start with a new one. To see what would happen if I chose the latter, it is asking for a different wordpress.com credentials. What do you recommend I do here? see screenshots attached.

    You can go ahead and connect it to your WordPress.com account – Jetpack is basically .com services for .org blogs, and in this case, you’d be using its CDN.

    If that doesn’t resolve the issue, you can disconnect/uninstall if you’d like. I just am betting that’s the difference for why it’s not working on your own copy of WordPress.
