Ok. So this site and 1 other are now fully running on Hostgator. It took a couple of days for the move to complete. This is mostly because of DNS propagation. Yesterday half of the folks that visited littletechgirl.com were seeing the new site. The other half were still being pointed to the old site on Hostmonster. It was weird.
Other than that everything is so far so good. I even notice a difference in the speed when loading. On Hostmonster, it took quite a while for the homepage to load because of all the photos, etc. And just because I had so many files. Now I see a noticeable speed improvement in the loading time. I do see an error in IE which I am working on fixing though. If anyone else has any problems with anything on the site, please let me know.
I also took the opportunity to upgrade to WordPress 3.1 since I had just backed everything up for the move. The notification that it was available came in right on time. I like it so far. I’ll have to poke around and see the differences. You can upgrade in your WP Dashboard, or download it directly from WordPress.org.
Now, I have several other sites to move. I have plenty of backlogged posts to write, and some graphic changes to make.
Sigh… Such is life. 🙂

February 26, 2011 at 5:00 pmYea, my uploader kept giving me the HTTP error. I restarted my computer and it started working again. On one blog, I can’t even log into the admin. The page says headers already sent by (custom_functions.php:172) in pluggable.php on line 890. UGH

February 26, 2011 at 5:02 pmI have dealt with that error before. Are all of your plugins off?

February 26, 2011 at 5:08 pmNope, I can’t get in there to deactivate, lol.

February 26, 2011 at 5:12 pmFTP in and rename your plug-ins folder to plugin_old or something. That will deactivate them all. Then you can see if you can log in. Move them back into the folder slowly one by one when you want to reactivate. 🙂

February 26, 2011 at 10:09 pmI should have been more specific. You can create a new, blank plugins folder and move them back in there.

February 26, 2011 at 4:41 pmOh, and your site definitely is loading faster. Thought I’d let you know :).

February 26, 2011 at 4:40 pmBe glad your WordPress didn’t blow up after the upgrade, lol. I have 2 blogs that have 2 issues I need to tend to + a friend of mine who I’m hosting. And the new admin bar doesn’t show for me on Sophistishe, just blank space. When I first upgraded, I thought something was wrong with my css or something, lol. I realized what should be there after upgrading other blogs. Such is life…

I did discovered some problems after I wrote this. The main one is that the default Flash media uploader does not work. But the older web uploader does so I am using that for now. And my GFC box stopped working again. I know I have a fix for that bookmarked somewhere. I need to find it. Ugh.
