Moved Site To Build Link – Admin Pages and Index Resolve, Interior pages do not

    Hello,

    Today we moved a site from their existing host to ours on hostgator here:

    https://198.1.95.13/~ussewer/

    I had no problem exporting the database from the prior host and importing to ours. I successfully logged into the ACP and changed the perma links to the new build link. When I navigate to the build link root, the index resolves perfectly. I can navigate all throughout the ACP with no problems. The problems start when I try to navigate to interior pages. They all go to 404. I checked the .htaccess and it’s only the default WP security.

    Any ideas why the pages won’t resolve on the build? There are no hardcoded navigation links. All of the posts and pages URLS have been updated.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

  • Since these links work, https://ussewer.com/2011/06/vertical-pipe-lining-in-philadelphia/ I would think you did something wrong in the move.

    Hi @kmessinger, thank you for reply.

    The db itself is 22megs and wasn’t able to be imported the conventional way. I simply created a db and did the standard backup/export of existing db from the other host. I utilized “bigdump.php” to facilitate the import. The db imported without a single error. The site popped right up on the build link. I used the “wp update urls” plugin. Invaritably there are going to be some links hardcoded with respect to images or text links. It’s the wp menu navigation which should work and isn’t. Again all of the pages are fully accessible in the editor. They can be updated and published. They just don’t resolve realtime when viewing on the build link.

    The links (are these the ones you are having problems with?)in the navigation menu work like this, https://ussewer.com/job-profiles/horizon-house-condos/ but not like this, https://198.1.95.13/~ussewer/job-profiles/horizon-house-condos/

    I can also get to your wordpress install. Are you really still running v 3.4.2?

    And your settings in the dashboard for site address and wordpress address match the database?

    Hello @kmessinger,

    This is a new customer who we are in the process of moving. The site was built by a separate developer and hosted by a separate hosting company.

    We downloaded the entire site yesterday and FTP’d to our server. I did the export of the database and imported using bigdump.php

    Once completed I navigated to wp-admin>settings>and changed the default url from ussewer.com to the build link.

    I changed all of the post/page urls in the database from ussewer.com to the build link as well. Some of the links are still resolving to ussewer.com.

    We need everything to resolve and work properly on the build link https://198.1.95.13/~ussewer/

    At the moment only wp-admin is fully functional. Everything in the ACP works. The only page that resolves on the web properly on the site is the index.

    During installation of the database import, there were no errors reported from big dump.

    Thank you for your help.

    GOT IT FIXED!

    I manually exported the site content from the existing site ACP in .xml

    Imported into build site and now pages resolve by build link. Makes no sense the site didn’t respond to the database, but I’m happy it is responding at all! Thank you for responding @kmessinger.
