Well, it looks like I’ll be creating my site from scratch. If I hadn’t been moving things under a new structure as well as a new hosting account it might have gone more smoothly.
I was relying too heavily on a migration plugin, which worked fine for all the other sites I moved but would not work for mine because it was too big. I even uploaded and used the expanded plugin they recommended. It should have worked. But, after several tries and several wasted hours it became apparent that it wasn’t going to happen.
There must have been something else causing the problem. Sadly, I don’t know what it is. Perhaps the upload speed from my computer is too slow and it times out. I don’t know.
I thought I was prepared, with 4 backups from 3 different sources…
Murphy’s Law.
On the bright side, the rest of the sites I moved went smoothly.
I’ve got a lot to do. I lost a lot of information that I wanted to keep. I think I have a back up of a few pages that I can copy over… but most are gone.
Coloring Books & Coloring Pages
What I’ve posted on this site for the last two years has been mostly about coloring pages and coloring books. Most of that information is at https://www.patreon.com/shellyjo.
The previously offered free coloring pages are still available and I’ve started a new monthly free coloring page series. October 1st was the release of the first coloring page in the series.
The other coloring tiers are temporarily unavailable because I was taking a break and creating a new coloring page website just for my coloring creations. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to move to a new host.
Except Murphy’s Law keeps cropping up. 🙁
This is just one more delay in getting things running smoothly again. But hey, why should this be any different from the rest of the things going on this year.
Things WILL IMPROVE! We just have to keep working at it.
Who knows, maybe it will make me a better blogger! LOL.
Stay positive.
