    I zipped the old files, downloaded, then uploaded/unzipped to BH
    exported database into zip, then imported to BH.
    The import took many, many tries.

    now, pictures are in the files (I can FTP/look at them) but don’t show up in WP/Media/library.
    custom.css is visible, but doesn’t affect anything.
    posts, pages only allow edit of content, but no metadata (who/what/when/etc.)

    I tried the ‘debug” and get a complaint about ‘syzygyor_matryoschka.wp_fkdg6k7wm4_comments’ missing.

    help!

    wow!!
    I turned on debug. using “Debug” – “Debug your blog, wordpress site and multisite with Soninow.”

    decided to upload all my ‘lost’ pictures/media while waiting for debug assist, and wow!
    got this on each uploaded media.

    Manually migration can be very complicated, and has a lot of things that can go wrong.

    You’re much better off using a plugin like this: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

    Dear terry,
    From my migration experience you need to match the old and the new database like:
    (user name – database name – table Prefix – db charset)

    Otherwise you will encounter consistency problem like the one you facing now.

    to arabsworks, sorry, I don’t have a clue what you’re trying to tell me. I exported and imported the DB from/to GD/BH. what do I do next?

    to tom, thanks for the hint, but I found Duplicator to be full of “you just have to know what we don’t tell you” holes. The Pro version wasn’t much better. sorry.

    I’m marking this as resolved, BUT
    BUT a word to the wise.
    1. the wp-config.php file has to point to the correct SQL database. Blue Host (5 times) gave me the WRONG SQL server.
    2. GP Premium 1.43 stopped page load with ‘fatal errors.”
    * delete plugin
    * upload the zip file I had kept.
    * fixed, I assume.

    I’m closing this, as I don’t want to drag this on.

    That’s strange – I’ve used the free version of Duplicator to move at least 10 websites from one host to another with no issues.

    There’s a lot of other plugins out there for this as well. This is a super popular one: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

    Tom,
    I suspect that this is confirmation of “you just have to know what we don’t tell you” holes.
    anyway, thanks for providing GP and Premium
