moved site to new server – no page content

  • I’ve just moved 2 web sites from server A to server B. Site 1 is working perfectly on server B after the move. Site 2 is displaying the header, menu, sidebars, footer and all the associated widgets correctly but refuses to display the page content unless I enter the whole page URL (including the page ID). Both sites were moved following exactly the same procedure from the Codex (…/Moving_WordPress). Site 2 still exists on server A and is working perfectly. The reason I can see that it isn’t working on Server B is that the new control panel has a facility to display the moved site before the DNS is changed.
    Both sites will have the same domain name and the new database is configured to replicate the original on Server A. Whilst Site 2 on server B is in this state I am unable to access the site’s dashboard.
    Has anybody got any suggestions please?

    The URL is https://79.170.44.95/hexhamtowncouncil.gov.uk/ BUT… remember that this is a link from my server’s Control Panel and if you try to navigate onwards from the page you will immediately be sent to pages on the (old site on Server A) to which the DNS is still pointing.
    If the page ID is added (?page_id=4 after the last forward slash, for example) the required content appears.
    So, to assemble the full page it is necessary to enter…
    https://79.170.44.95/hexhamtowncouncil.gov.uk/?page_id=4

    Whilst I can’t see the Dashboard for the site on Server B, I can see the Dashboard on the site on server A and can make changes there if necessary, copying files by FTP to server B after editing.
