Hello
Follow these steps:
1) move all your files and DB to a new server
2) set new attributes for Mysql in ow_includes/config.php
3) set recursive 777 permissions for these folders:
- ow_pluginsfiles
- ow_userfiles
- ow_static

Sorry to bother everyone I am new to oxwall, I need to know how add a new theme from the market? I clicked download on the theme and it downloaded to my computer. How do I upload it into my site so I can change the theme?

Hi Travis WAll,
You will need to upload it to the ow_themes folder in your server. You will have to upload it the same way as you uploaded the rest of the oxwall files (you can use Filezilla or something like that) (Note that you will have to unzip the file before!). Than go to the Admin Area of your site. Go to Appearance and then to choose theme. There you can pick your theme.

P.S. Please create a new topic next time...

To move Oxwall to a new server, start by backing up your current site files and database. Then, upload these files to the new server and create a new database, restoring the old one into it. Update the config.php file with the new database credentials and server details, ensuring paths and URLs reflect the new environment. Once done, test the site to verify functionality. Since hosting environments vary, running a cpu gpu bottleneck checker can be useful, especially if you’re on a VPS or shared server, to confirm that the server resources can handle the site’s demands efficiently.
