Issue about changing table prefix

Hi! I just moved a client’s website from a temporary domain (which was a test environment) to the client’s domain. I also changed the database’s table prefix and updated all the prefixes that usually needs to be changed.

Everything else is working fine, but it seems that the website can’t fetch the Basel theme’s options from the database. Site is working and it can generate the pages’ content. But all the theme’s options isn’t applied.

Is there somewehere in the files or in database a setting, that has set the table prefix when you start to use Basel? Or why Basel can’t fetch the theme settings from the database?

I haven’t logged in as an admin, because I’m afraid that logging in could start writing new settings for theme with the risk of losing previous settings.

Actually I found the problem. It wasn’t a table prefix related issue.

In MyPHPAdmin I ran a script that changes all the http://www.oldurl.com to http://www.newurl.com and it changed the urls in basel_options. The problem was that in that option, there’s also the lengths of different setting strings. So when updating urls, the length of strings are changed and the theme broke down.

So I changed all the other urls in MyPHPAdmin except basel_options. Those urls needs to be changed from theme settings in WordPress backend.

Hello,

That is fine. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

Best Regards
