[Resolved] Problem updating link paths in Sections content after site migration

Hi Tom,

I’m having problems updating the link paths in my Sections content after I’ve migrated my site from localhost to my webserver.

I’ve followed the standard practice of migrating a WP site, and have created the new site in a subfolder on the Windows shared host webserver that current hosts our current live website. So the new site sits in http://MySite/~SubFolder while I test it.

I’ve updated the Site and Home URLs, the Permalinks, and replaced any ‘localhost’ paths with the new ‘My/Site/~SubFolder’ path using a SQL query in wp_posts.post_content and wp_postmeta.meta_value (as that seems to be where Section content is stored).

Now if open the home page – which uses Sections – I get the following warnings and the site doesn’t load properly:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in E:\Domains\s\MySiteURL\user\htdocs\~SubFolder\wp-content\plugins\generate-sections\functions\generate-sections.php on line 151
Skip to content
• Home
• Menu item 1
• Menu item 2
• Menu item 3
• Menu item 4
Search for:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in E:\Domains\s\MySiteURL\user\htdocs\~SubFolder\wp-content\plugins\generate-sections\functions\templates\generate-sections-page-template.php on line 27

Any ideas why that’s happening? I wondered if updating the link paths in Sections using a SQL query was breaking it, but I can’t think of how to do it in the WP dashboard without manually changing each one.

I can email you the actual site URL if you want to have a look. Just let me know.

Thanks in advance.
Dan
