Hi there,

I developed my current web project using MAMP Pro and now I tested the new publish function. Worked pretty fine, everything is migrated. But my Section within a page are disappeard.

Does anybody have a solution for this?

Thanks and best regards from Germany

Hi there,

How did you migrate the site? Sections are serialized in the database, so if you did a mass search/replace of your URL in the database, it can mess them up.

Let me know :)

Hi Tom,

I migrated the site via MAMP Pro "Publish" function. I guess there is a mass search/replace included. Is there a way to fix it? And whats the correct way to move GP sites with sections?

Thanks

Personally, I would use something like Duplicator: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

It does a search/replace for you without breaking serialization.

Hi Tom,

Can I manually fix the serialization in the published site?

I don't believe so, no. Sometimes a search/replace will mess up the GUID values in the database, which I don't believe are configurable. You'll likely need to re-do the process with a plugin like Duplicator.

Okay, thanks. I will do that! Thank you for your fast support!
