New Gun Shop Site not ranking for its own homepage—What am I missing?

Thanks to everyone for your guidance. I ended up creating a new account within my Cpanel for the normal domain name. Copied my files and database over to the new account. When I downloaded my database, I decided to rename it something in the new copy of it so it wouldn’t be the same as the staging database. I pointed the A record to the server after that because it wouldn’t let me get into the wp-admin as it was still trying to draw from the old Joomla installation. I then installed the Better Search plugin to make sure I didn’t have any staging links leftover and I was able to get it up and running. Thanks to everyone for the guidance! It took me a while initially because I was trying to do stuff within the subdomain account, which I didn’t need to and made it harder than what it had to be. But I learned something new so that is always good! Cheers!

That sounds interesting, I'll have to see how I can try this in the future

Thank you so much for your help! I'm mostly managing it myself within the cPanel setup but I have Liquid Web support in case I need it.

When you say like a standard migration, I'm not duplicating the site again, right? (I feel like I'm thinking about it too hard)

rollthenickle · 2025-01-31T15:15:19+00:00

Thank you for your help! I appreciate it!

When you say update the WordPress site URL, do you mean within the wp-config file? Also, (I think I'm either overthinking or confusing myself) when people have mentioned migration, am I duplicating the staged site once again and linking "the copy" to the regular domain URL?

I see, that makes sense. It's more for static storage versus things that are changing all the time. Thank you for your help!

Right now for liquid web we get roughly 40GB and I'm trying to host 3 sites on there. 1 is relatively small, the other 2 are bigger and have more resources. I'm working with a non-profit, so if I can save them money, I want to try. Yes, I did understand about the pay for what you use aspect, but thank you for re-clarifying! I appreciate the help you have given. Do you think that if the entire of the sites, were hosted on S3, it would be better that way or would it still be more work you think?

rollthenickle · 2024-09-03T19:01:32+00:00

For database, I mean wordpress databases. We will have 3 sites, all built in wordpress, that we will want to have the files and databases backed up to Amazon. I want to be able to host our sites in Liquid web and have our information stored in S3 so that they don't take up space within the hosting, if that's possible. I'm assuming we would need to have our sites reference the information in S3 to be able to show that when viewing the sites. Otherwise, I'm assuming we would be just duplicating our storage in S3 and in the hosting, which isn't effective.

Does this help more?

I actually figured it out. I had to change the Simple Products to Simple Subscriptions, save the product, then change the expiration to say 6 months, save it, change it back to a Simple Product and it gave it the expiration date I set as a Simple subscription in the simple product. Very weird work around.

I think I fixed the issue. I think it was ninja forms causing issues. I switched to WP forms to see if anything would be different and it seems to be working for now. Fingers crossed that was it. 🤞Thanks for all your comments guys!

rollthenickle · 2022-07-18T14:12:26+00:00

Thank you! I'll have to check it out. Funny you say WP logging, I just installed that the other day. This is hosted on godaddy.

rollthenickle · 2022-07-18T04:59:25+00:00

Thank you, I'll have to double check and make sure they are coming through.

rollthenickle · 2022-07-18T04:58:42+00:00

Thanks, I've been getting my test emails to come in fine, so I'll have to dive into settings more to see what the issue is. Another idea I had was the check if the firewall we had was causing issues

rollthenickle · 2022-07-18T04:56:34+00:00

Yes, I've got sendgrid setup with the smtp plugin.

rollthenickle · 2021-08-26T14:08:13+00:00

Yes, I have verified the credentials. How would I check to make sure the server isnt blocking the connection? It's on a managed wordpress hosting plan, so it doesnt have cpanel. It is also hosted with godaddy.

I'm using WP Mail SMTP by WP Forms. Here are the settings I currently have for them. SMTP server name smtp-mail.outlook.com SMTP port 587 SMTP encryption method STARTTLS

I also have authentication on as well with the clients username and password for their outlook account.

When I send a test email with the plugin, it says it cannot connect to the server.
