Permalinks redirecting to localhost after migration to server

    I developed a website on my localhost and migrated it to my web server. The site displays mostly everything on the home page (I lost some font settings as far as I can tell) and all the content seems to be intact as well as the menu items. But all links, images and nav items redirect to my localhost site. Even when I try to log into my wp-admin it accepts the credentials but redirects me to the admin for my localhost site. Is this my permalinks all messed up or something else? I have tried:

    – searching for an .htaccess file but there is none
    – defining a home & siteURL in the wp-config file (this just breaks the layout of the site although it still is active)

    I resolved the issue: had to edit the ‘home’ and ‘siteURL’ fields in the wp-options table of the database on the server to reflect my site’s URL. Not sure why I had to do it this time and not the half-dozen times I’ve migrated sites before but I am just very happy it is now resolved.
