Tracks disappear form playlist after migrating site

    I moved the site I’m working on from my local PC to a live staging area, updated all the database entries so that they reference the live URL and not the local one… and everything seems correct from what I’m looking at inside the db, but when I go to edit the playlist, the Tracklist is empty.

    Is this a known problem when migrating, and is there a quick fix?

    I’m looking at wp_postmeta and the alb_tracklist entry looks correct. Everything else is here – all the mp3 attachments and all their db entries.

    Maybe my app firewall (ModSecurity) is blocking access to files… I’ll test it out.

    I tried disabling ModSecurity, as well as any access controls to the staging area, but neither made the tracks appear in the playlist. So that should rule out server error, in those forms.

    I figured it out. Somewhat obvious but it didn’t cross my mind.

    I needed to update the string length for each link to an mp3 file in the meta_value field. All of them were 14 characters longer after updating the url from localhost to the live domain, so for example s:62:"http://... should change to s:76:"https://...

    Hope this helps a random Googler.
