Activity Stream Gone After Moving Hosting

    Hi all,

    I upgraded from basic GoDaddy hosting to Managed WordPress to increase site speed. However, once the migration was finished, the Activity Stream content was all gone. Also the home page widget showing all new members (set to 100 to show all members) was empty. I had to change it to show Popular to show any members.

    Any ideas on why this would be the case? All users are still there. Can I simply overwrite with my WP Content folder from a previous backup and have the Activity Stream back?

    Thanks!

    Hi @canadadre

    There’s a very useful article that helps out with site moves. Take a look to see if there’s anything you could have done wrong when you migrated across:

    Hi @henrywright, While I appreciate the comment, the migration was done via GoDaddy. One click migration from one hosting plan to another. The only difference was that the BuddyPress Activity Stream was no longer there.

    Without knowing exactly what was done via the one click migration, it’s going to be hard to pintpoint what went wrong.

    Was the one click migration intended for BuddyPress? Just WordPress? I’m not familiar with GoDaddy’s process

    I’m thinking it may be due to a new database being used. When I asked GoDaddy if I could simply restore the old files from a previous backup to see if that would bring the Activity Feed content back, the reply was not to copy over the wp-config.php file. This tells me a new database was used. Would the Activity Feed content be contained in the database? Thanks!

    Yes. You would need to migrate the entire DB as well. Not just the site and theme files.
