Did you use PHPMyAdmin to export and import the SQL? If so some tools, PHPMyAdmin included, do not handle serialized array data properly. This means when you use PHPMyAdmin to export and import Gravity Forms form meta data... it corrupts the serialized data that makes up the form settings information.</p> <p>What you can try is the Meta Recovery tool. It is available for download on the Plugin Downloads page here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/downloads/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/downloads/</a></p> <p>Download, install and activate that plugin. It will add a Meta Recovery menu item to the Forms navigation. Go there, and then use it to try and fix each of your forms. </p> <p>Let me know how it goes.</p> <p>If you are not worried about doing this and would rather start from scratch, simply go to the Gravity Forms Settings page (Forms &gt; Settings) and then choose the Uninstall option at the bottom of that page. This will completely remove Gravity Forms data from your site.</p> <p>Once you Uninstall, then go to the Plugins page and Activate Gravity Forms again. It will then re-build it's database tables. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/migrated-site-and-now-forms-cannot-be-located#post-41725 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 12:23:28 +0000 tglorentzen 41725@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When creating a new form all goes well until I try to display the form. Then I get the Opps, can't find form message. Is there a way to remove all traces of the plugin install and start fresh. Have tried deactivating, deleting and reinstalling but some files must remain resident because it starts out with my old settings. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/migrated-site-and-now-forms-cannot-be-located#post-41677 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 19:41:15 +0000 Chris Hajer 41677@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you cannot create a simple form, there is some issue with your installation or the server you are on. What is your experience when you try to create a new form? What happens? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/migrated-site-and-now-forms-cannot-be-located#post-41664 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:14:05 +0000 tglorentzen 41664@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the suggestion.

I have tried the Meta recovery tool and it cannot recover the files. I have tried to design new and they do not work either. Have tried deactivating all other plugins - no good. Have reinstalled site with BUB - no good. Have tried moving database elements via myPHPadmin - no good. HELP! </p>
