Hello Guys,

Ive just moved a site over to a test server but I am now getting the following error. Any ideas?

Error: Exception: Field does not exist: top_nav (in /home/clearbox/public_html/clients/ml/wire/core/PageFinder.php line 538)

Did the database get migrated correctly? Is it possible that the field doesn't actually exist - can you check for it in PHPMyAdmin or similar. There should be a table named "field_fieldname" and there should be an entry for it in the "fields" table.

Hi Jon,

Why don't you tell us something more about what you are using e.g:

processwire version you are using

did you zip up, ftp or cpanel upload

what hoster you are using

Anyway in such case I would first run on your online host, a fresh new processwire installation with the same version as you are using local on your computer. Running a fresh new processwire installation will tell you if your online host environment is meeting all the needed requirements. After that simply replace the online site folder with the one you have local, use zip, and ftp or cpanel for upload. After that adapt your config.php local values to the online host values and finally import your local sql file.

If everything is working locally but not online, these steps will narrow down where the problem might be.

Usually:

.htaccess, index.php or paths mismatch

hosting restrictions

file missing or corruption during zip compress/extract or ftp upload

=> maybe in your case (field not exist) the .sql migration

Anyway let us know about how it goes

Hello Guys,

Thanks for the responses. Turned out to be that my SQL import was only importing half the tables managed to get it sorted. Thanks for your help again!

Cheers
