Migrating website from different hosting provider.

[DArnaez]

Hi my friends! I need your advice in this. In a few days my hosting provider will try to renew my plan with a price 3 times of the original. So I'm moving my sites to another provider. All my other websites are Wordpress so the migration works like a charm. For my website running Prestashop is different... the new Hosting provider (Hostinger) is asking to have access to cpanel. My problem is that it seems my current provider have 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication). Even when I already disable that option, it seems that the system recognize a different IP address when the technitian try to access, the system reject it.
So... what you would do?  is possible to install a brand new Prestashop in the new server and later some way to import or merge the database? The current PS it show a red note that clicking out it dissapears. Caused (I guess) for a previous theme used. So I was thinking may be a fresh new installation with a basic theme, but importing or merging the database it could work. What do you suggest?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Version: PS 8.2.1

If current hosting cant help while they should help with access. yes you can just create new installation on new hosting and migrate the data but what about domain transfer?

Your errors are only depreceation warnings, they will disapprear as soon youz switch off debug mode. After moving to new server clear /var/cache and double check your PHP version

1) post on job section for dev that can help solve or contact someone on the forum you have confidence in (not me!  I seldom take service work).

2) migration to new install:  see addons, migration pro works very well, create new fresh ps installation, import from source, recommend hummingbird, you will have some configurations to, it does not bring over ps module configurations or 3rd party modules or other custom changes.

try this maybe it helps with current situation:

In PrestaShop, the back-office IP security check can block logins if your IP changes often (common with dynamic IPs, VPNs, or cloud admin access).
You can safely disable that check with one of the following methods:  this should work with ps 8.2.1 but I don't have a staging copy of that version.

/config/defines.inc.php

define('_PS_ADMIN_IP_CHECK_', false);
