Okay, here is the situation:
I have a customer who has be hosting an active customized WordPress site with me for a few years under one url, abc.com.
They purchased a second url, xyz.com, and asked me to transfer the old site over to the new url.
I then installed the same version of WordPress with the same theme on the new url.
I used the old database, and at first glance they were perfect working copies of each other, including Pages, Posts, and Graphics...
I was happy. My client has the intention of only using the new url after the old one expires. That is why I installed a new site instead of just pointing the new url at the old one.
The Problem:
I felt something was off so I performed a little experiment. I temporarily disabled the first site, abc.com.
Then I tried to load the new url, that was just working, and got the error: Object not found! - Error 404
After reinstalling the new url it now just show the text without formatting or graphics. when the old site is disabled.
Recap:
Sites abc.com and xyz.com share the same database.
If site abc is disabled site xyz also stops working.
No changes have been made to the database.
What else I've tried:
I've tried to copy all of the files from abc over to xyz, but the file structure does not copy correctly (I've in countered this problem a lot.).
What I need:
I need your help in figuring this out. How can I fix this problem?
Thank you.
