Wordpress to self-hosted Ghost issues

Developer help Self-hosting
1

Hey guys, nice to meet you all.

I’m moving from WordPress to Ghost, I’m not a dev but I followed a youtube video and it was quite easy to set up a DigitalOcean server and install Ghost on it.

My self-hosted Ghost website is online at https://adriaticrypto.org/, unfortunately, the plugin export failed so I was forced to use just the .json file, later I will try to upload also the images.

Before self-hosting, I quickly tried the free version of Ghost(.)org that is actually online at https://adriatic-crypto-hub.ghost.io/.

I’m having 3 issues:
1 - As you can see, scrolling down in the self-hosted version is not loading older post.

2 - The subscribe button on the low-right corner of the page is not appearing in the self-hosted version.

3 - In the admin dashboard, design contents of the blog are not loading.

I don’t understand why I’m having these issues, I just set up the website without touching anything. The theme is the same and all the options are the same.

I attached a screenshot for each issue.

My guess is that something went wrong or was configured incorrectly during your installation. Which URL did you use to configure Ghost?

3

It was just a few clicks to install everything, there is basically nothing that could have gone wrong.

I just followed the steps in this video Part 5: Setting up Ghost from the terminal - YouTube.
I used http://adriaticrypto.org/.

It looks like your site is mixing http and https. If you intended to SSL when installing Ghost, that should have been reflected in the site URL.

5

As explained in the tutorial linked in my previous reply, initially the URL should be http:// and after the SSL encryption the URL will become https://.

Take a look at the HTML source; resources are not secure, but the server redirects to https.

Try using ghost config url https://adriaticrypto.org.

The tutorial is incorrect:

Blog URL

Enter the exact URL your publication will be available at and include the protocol for HTTP or HTTPS. For example, https://example.com. If you use HTTPS, Ghost-CLI will offer to set up SSL for you.

It’s always a good idea to refer to the official documentation.

I created again the server and this time during the setup I used the https:// link and it works regularly now, thanks!
