Problem moving Baker to another folder

Hello,

if you have the index.php of WB also moved to the /pages directory you have to adapt the path in your hosting package.

What was the intent of your idee to move WB in the /pages directory? If the only reason is to get rid of the /pages directory, this can be don in WB 2.13.1 by a simple mouseclick in the backend of WB by using ShortUrl.

The problem is the "speed" of the website, which is getting worse with every update bigger WB 2.8.3.

There is already an entry here in the forum.

Therefore, the great new functions do not work, the access files to generate new from the BE, as far as I know, there was not yet in WB 2.8.3.

Hello Ruebenwurzel and HGS.

Unfortunately, my site got too big for WB and I can't upgrade past 2.8.3, as it becomes incredibly slow. The site has more than 3,500+ pages and it seems that every time a page is generated, WB needs to "read" the whole database to generate the "showmenus", causing this speed issue (if I remove the menus, the pages are generated very fast).

This has caused in part that my site lose positions in the search engines, going from an average of 10,000 daily visits to 1,500 daily visits.

So, as much as I have loved WB for the past 10 years, and without a solution for this (and unable to move to newer versions of PHP as WB 2.8.3 only works yo to version 5.6), I decided to change CMS. My plan is to install Wordpress in the root folder of my server, and move WB inside the "pages" directory while I change little by little the different categories of my site.

I want to leave the current URLs as they are, so as to not lose the good search engine positionings that I still have. And I will create the Wordpress pages with the same URLs as the ones from WB.

It will take me many months to move the 3500+ pages from WB to WP, but at least this way I can change the categories little by little and hopefully see the benefits more rapidly.

Crnogorac was very kind helping me yesterday on one a copy of my site, and he still has some good ideas to try.

But I created a new copy just in case, so if you have any suggestions to do this please share them.

Thanks again!

The problem has been in the forum for a long time.
I can only offer to test it on my test server with the original site as subdomain with the current version of WebsiteBaker and php8.0.

If this is an option for you, I will send you the access data to my FTP server.
I need a ZIP of the website and the DB Dump

svsanchez:
Hello hgs, sure, any help is greatly appreciated. How do I send the zip and DB to you?
