Hi,
I configured Tempera on one server and then moved the site to another. Everything seemed to work right except the theme. it was the 0.9.2 version at that point. The settings were in the database but only the defaults were read by the system. I could not modify anything or import new settings. Everytime I clicked save or import Tempera said it was succesful but still the settings did not change.

I tried to update and then reinstall Tempera but both options failed. I still cannot save or read my custom settings.

Can you help?

As a workaround I edited the default.php file in tempera/admin folder. But I need the Slider to be editable by other users so it would be best if I could make the settings work somehow using the database.

Hi!

You may have some new faulty pluings installed on the new server. Please disable all plugins and try to edit and save some settings then.

Hi,
No new plugins were installed after moving the site.

Hi,

This is one of the big issue with tempera. I am experiencing the same.

I have just completed a project for a client using Tempura. When I moved it to the client’s server, all Tempura settings reverted to default. Another half day’s work to reset them all, and client is upset that his site has “disappeared”. I downloaded settings but upload doesn’t work.

I had the same problem. A bit heartbreaking after all those hours of work. Glad to know it wasn’t just me being stupid anyway.

Did you update all database URL records to the new URL after the move?

I had the same problem when moving my tempera-themed wp site from test.xyz.tld to xyz.tld, by replacing all URLs in the DB-dump. Intriguingly, when moving it from test.xyz.tld to prod.xyz.tld in the same way, it worked without problems. The reason is found on the codex-page posted by Zed above:

“Changing Your Domain Name and URLs
If you do a search and replace on your entire database to change the URLs, you can cause issues with data serialization, due to the fact that some themes and widgets store values with the length of your URL marked. When this changes, things break.”

The post names three solutions. I used the second (search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases) which worked like a charm.
