      Hello,

      Am following the instructions here to migrate my website from a test URL to my portfolio page.

      Followed all the steps a couple of times now but getting the same error.

      I deleted the WP-Content on the new site, replaced it with the WP-Content from the test site, didn't see any errors on the transfer.

      After checking the wp-config.php file for the correct DB to edit, I migrated the database (drop the database on the new site and import the database from the old site)

      Next, I navigate to the new website, expecting to see my website properly populated, but get the below view:

      88c50eb4-4b97-4d65-bb62-73d806fb6bda-image.png

      Not sure why this is happening. I can see before I make the migration that there is a 'fresh' wordpress page on the new site using one of the default themes, and wordpress is definitely installed on the domain.

      My host is Namecheap, they supported a little bit but are unable to give me any more direction as this might be specific to Laytheme. I noticed that the video is from 2016 so maybe something has changed?

      Thanks!

            Just to update on my side since there's no reply yet, I tried once again, had to remove the old WP-Content folder multiple times as some parts would not delete (on the new website). Then imported the WP-Content folder, everything was OK. The issue seems to be when I migrate the DB, I keep seeing the install wordpress screen posted above after the migration is complete but cannot see what I'm doing wrong.

              Try this to fix issues before you post:

              Use the Search Feature. Maybe there is already a solution to your issue.

              1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
              2. Disable all Plugins
              3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
              4. Now see if your problem solved itself
              5. Go here, see if your problem is listed here:
              Troubleshooting

              When you post:
              1. Post a link to where the problem is
              2. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it

              Thanks!
