Fix Migrating Errors when Switching from WordPress to ClassicPress in 3 mins

You can switch your WordPress installation to ClassicPress as a choice Content Management System (CMS). However, due to some slight changes in file structures in ClassicPress, you might have errors that the switch plugin highlights. Here is how you solve them in under 3 mins.

Content

2.27 -> Alright I've landed into some trouble right here, I've installed the ClassicPress

7.5 -> plug-in that checks whether my WordPress is compatible for switching

14.46 -> to ClassicPress, and it has encountered an error in there, and I just

18.99 -> want to make sure that I correct this. So this is the error that came up and it's

23.97 -> telling me there are some conflicting files that have been detected, thereby

29.34 -> would be unexpectedly overwritten. However when I try to keep on going down

34.59 -> I realize they tell me sorry we can't switch this site to ClassicPress. However I've been

40.079 -> given something that can help me solve this, so when I look in the conflicted

44.04 -> files in the browser console, all I need to do is just go to inspect image in my

48.96 -> browser, and then I'll just go to the console here. When I look at the files I

55.35 -> see there is only one file that is listed here which is composer.json

60.21 -> and that is because ClassicPress right now comes with the ability to work with

66.299 -> composer to install your dependencies and so on, so what I'm going

72.09 -> to do is I'm going to just go into my local server, and then I'll go to my

77.04 -> local install which is classic, and then I'll go into, I'll just see this composer

82.71 -> .json file, once I delete this and just go back here and reload the page to see

91.74 -> if everything will be okay, yeah we get no conflicts right here and then we are

98.729 -> able to switch to ClassicPress. So when I hit this button, I'll be able to get

105.09 -> everything downloaded right onto my server, yeah ClassicPress is good to

116.07 -> go, everything has updated and I'm able to get the latest version and I'm ready

122.009 -> to work with my ClassicPress. If you find any other troubles please let me

125.969 -> know, let me know how you've solved it and maybe we can work

130.449 -> let's say if you don't have any solutions towards this.
