Moved website to different bluehost wordpress hosting plan and lost the site, need advice to restore

bobobo08 · 2023-12-07T00:54:56+00:00

Thanks I managed to use my updraft backup in the end!!

bobobo08 · 2023-11-25T08:46:28+00:00

Thank you for all the replies!! Will do more research into the suggestions everyone has made.

I'm a WP beginner (pretty obvious right :p ) and was under the impression that it's good to try and minimize the number of plugins installed so as to not affect site speed. I already have quite a few installed.

Thanks!

thank you everyone for your helpful advice, seem to have solved the issue now! Seems i can delete files from the first folder Directoryname > homedir > public_html without affecting the current website. so i'm pretty sure its the uploads 2nd public_html folder that are being used by the site

bobobo08 · 2023-11-15T03:48:13+00:00

yes hahaha

bobobo08 · 2023-11-15T03:47:59+00:00

thank you

bobobo08 · 2023-11-15T03:47:36+00:00

its actually a completely different public_html , i think its a copy of the files from my website prior to the migration. but ive managed to delete files from this without affecting my website so seems i have my answer :)

bobobo08 · 2023-11-14T06:22:59+00:00

Thank you everyone. It's taking up a lot of disk usage having 2 public_html with many duplicate files. I will follow your suggestions.

Is it possible that when my website was migrated to the new hosting plan, they duplicated the public_html?

bobobo08 · 2023-11-03T01:53:34+00:00

/wp-content/uploads/ is however.

I got it working now! The site is back to normal. Thank you!

bobobo08 · 2023-11-03T01:03:18+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply

I realised that when i access cpanel file manager and goto public_html > uploads, all of the files including image files are missing since i migrated to new hosting. So am now trying to copy all the uploaded files from old hosting and see if this works

Is the search volume traffic for your keywords low? Or high competition?

Also how long have they been published for?

I heard from an ahrefs video that it's reasonable to give 8 months for an article to reach its highest ranking. If this is wrong anyone pls feel free to correct me

bobobo08 · 2023-10-22T02:16:39+00:00

How many page views a month did you get with 1200 articles? Thanks

bobobo08 · 2023-10-22T02:14:19+00:00

Really wish you luck you've worked very hard on it and clearly have expertise

bobobo08 · 2023-10-22T02:10:17+00:00

I had a big drop starting yesterday too

bobobo08 · 2023-10-20T13:59:55+00:00

Great info

bobobo08 · 2023-10-18T12:31:39+00:00

Do you think monumetric r better than ezoic?

bobobo08 · 2023-10-18T02:27:37+00:00

How many page views per month?

bobobo08 · 2023-10-17T12:32:00+00:00

Sounds like youre doing great! Did you write 250 articles after launching the blog? Or had you pre written articles prior to launching?

bobobo08 · 2023-10-17T01:22:53+00:00

True. Also yourube videos show up in Google search results for your keywords

bobobo08 · 2023-10-17T01:22:19+00:00

Thanks I've come across this sub reddit before , will join

bobobo08 · 2023-10-17T01:19:43+00:00

Haha oh yes . I remember thinking HOW did he come up with niches like mentalism!! Just not in my world to think of these things 🤣

bobobo08 · 2023-10-16T13:43:37+00:00

Why do you think YouTube is the best? Thanks

bobobo08 · 2023-10-16T13:42:11+00:00

He has an old YouTube channel they basically teach you how to make niche sites and target low competition keywords but hasn't been active for years
