PHP errors on wordpress

The host file you posted has no effect on PHP version.

The PHP errors you posted are files which are missing or have incorrect permissions set, so this has nothing to do with PHP version either.

I migrate clients sites most every day. When migrating WordPress, best to use the WordPress suggested method of migrating a site.

Either use a manual method or a plugin like Duplicator or BackupBuddy.

Note: If these are the only errors, likely these files ownership and/or permission settings are making the files unreadable to Apache.

Simple fix will be to correct file ownership + permission... well... if you used a normal backup/restore plugin. If you used some sort of ad-hoc migration sequence, then no way to tell what the problem might be.

Likely best for you to hire someone who does migrations every day.

Also, if you can afford better hosting, don't use BlueHost. Since EIG acquired BlueHost + HostGator, both companies tech support staff have only bare levels of competency.

In fact, best to avoid any hosting company owned by EIG.

Thanks... unfortunately, the boss already spent 150 bucks migrating the sites, so if possible I'd like to get this going on these servers. Otherwise I have to ask him to lose that fee and start over with another company, and he will have no reason to trust my recommendation.

As David Favor commented  they are not PHP eorrors they look like a  incomplete transfer.

since the name servers are still pointing to the old website at go daddy how can WordPress  site work?
in the dashboard will have the site address pointing to the URL which is still at GoDaddy?

if you move it again to another host you will have the same problems.

Hi-

1. as I said in my comment, the files ARE there on the server. I can FTP in and the files are there. This problem occurred when I changed over to PHP 7.0 from 5.6

2. I can see the wordpress site by updating my hosts file with their IP address for the site. If you do what they suggest here: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/27350/beginner-geek-how-to-edit-your-hosts-file/  and update your hosts file with the info I attached, then you'll see the wordpress site on the bluehost servers. If you take that out of your hosts file, you'll see the live site on the godaddy servers.

I understand that, what I mean is :
did you update the database entries that contain the address of the website?
surely the wordpress files are using the actual address of the website to access its files.
can you log on to the dashboard and look at the site URL?

ok. once I opened up my dumb eyes, I realized that the problem was the divi booster. disable that, site works. So now i need to find a replacement for that or a replacement for what it does. Should solve the issue. Not that there won't be other issues...

oooo.. didn't think of that, will try thanks!

Oh, sorry, to answer your question, yes, they are using the actual name of the site.

That worked!! Thanks. I will leave this open, there may be more questions, but I'm getting somewhere.

Looks like the site is working, except some image issues which should be solved once I point the name servers and add the SSL certificates.

Thanks to everyone, happy holidays!
