    Hello – Export went fine except it would not allow me to download the 88 MEG wpress file at the end. So I went into cPanel, compressed it, downloaded it, uncompressed it, and imported it into the new site. At the end of the import, the Step 1 for updating permalinks, it would not allow me to do. Sent me to a “page not found”. And I can’t login to the dashboard. /wp-admin, /wp-login.php, and /login-surgeons (the login from the exported site) all not found. All images are missing. I have a feeling it’s a search/replace database issue but I can’t login to the dashboard to do a search/replace. Help?!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    With the help of my web host, I was able to access the wp-admin. It required deactivating all plugins so now I have to go thru and figure out which was the culprit. There is still the issue of all images are missing.

    Please drop me an email at support at servmask dot com with a list of your plugins and I can help you to narrow it down.

    Cheers

    I was able to compress all images on the old server, download the zip file, upload the zip file into the new server, and unzip. Issue solved.
