    I moved a studiopress site from one host to another...the only issue I have remaining is this error: ERROR: The themes directory is either empty or doesn’t exist. Please check your installation. I also notice certain aspects of the theme missing...

    Can someone please help?

    Thanks

    How did you do the migration?

    The best way is to install the WP Migrate DB plugin and enter in the new server path and domain, then export the database.

    This does a search and replace so the links work.

    You can then create a new DB on the new server and import the DB

    Simply upload the files to the new server, edit the wp-config.php with the new DB connection details and you're done.
