Content Slider not working on IE, or iPad Safari ?

Beaver Builder
1

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a site and I uploaded it to a temporary site for the client to see the progress of the home page, but they emailed back to say they saw nothing in the slider area.

So I tested it and sure enough, it works fine using Chrome & FF, but not IE or Safari on my iPad

Any thoughts ?

TIA, Dave

Hi David,

We have a Knowledge Base article regarding Migrating a Site To Another Domain, be sure to follow each step there. I checked the site and the sliders are still getting the images from the localhost which is probably what’s causing the problem.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ben,
Sorry I jumped to the conclusion it was a browser issue, as IE clearly did not work, but as you have concluded, the links were still pointing to my localhost server.

I use BackupBuddy to migrate and move sites and this is the first time that it has not done a 100% job of updating all the changing URL’s Why would that be ? Where does BB store the URL info for it’s pages?

I also note this article that recently was published on Net-Tuts
https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/why-you-shouldnt-code-urls-in-themes-or-plugins-and-the-wordpress-functions-to-use-instead--cms-23262

I’d be interested in your thoughts on this ?

Thanks again for your great support…

Hello David,

Beaver Builder stores all of the information into the database, specifically into the postmeta table(more of that here). I would suggest doing the Serialized Search and Replace then clearing out the BB cache as documented here and see if you’re having the same problem.

Regarding the article, that refers to codes being used in theme and plugin files. When you transfer a site, the contents of the files won’t get changed so you’ll have to them manually. It doesn’t apply to BB since data are stored on the database, which you can easily manipulate using plugins or the Serialized Search and Replace script. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the explanation Ben,
I’d still be interested to know why BackupBuddy does not update the url’s in that table.
I’ll post the question on iThemes support pages.

Thanks once again…

Anytime, Dave! You might want to ask them how the plugin does the migration. Most likely, it changes just some tables of the database which doesn’t include the postmeta table.

I’ll be marking this as resolved now.
