Can’t get to save permalinks

    I’m installing a copy of a website into a totally different domain at a different host.

    I installed WP, then the All-In-One Migration plugin. Then imported the file, replaced existing files & db, etc. as the plugin says.

    Then I’m stuck on the Save Permalinks step. I click the link to go to the permalinks page, but that kicks me to the login page.

    I don’t have access to any of the logins on the site I’ve imported from, so in PHP My Admin I add a row to the user table and use that User ID to log in.

    But the site only kicks me out to the front-end home page. I can’t access any of the admin pages of the new site now.

    Is there a work-around to set the permalinks in another way? I can’t access the admin at all.

    Brand new WP install, updated to the latest WP (4.9.4 I think)
    Brand new install of the All-In-One WP Migration plugin just now
    on Network Solutions
    My file is 167 MB

    UPDATE:

    I’ve reset the password in mySQL for an existing user and I’m in the WP admin now.

    Do I just go to the Permalinks page and click save twice?

    Hi

    Yes, you just need to re-save Permalinks twice. If for some reason it doesn’t work, please check your .htaccess file for correct settings. Default one is:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
