Permalink/Redirect Problem – Can't Log In to Dashboard!

  • Last night, I moved the contents of a test server (files and database minus the wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables) onto our production server, replacing our existing WP site. Everything seemed to be working fine at first, but now when I try to go almost anywhere on the site, I’m greeted by the 404 page. Obviously this is troubling on its own, but it’s even more so given the fact that trying to get to the Dashboard similarly brings up the 404. As I can’t get into the backend to rebuild my permalink structure (or try anything else for that matter), I’m really at a loss as to how to proceed. My .htaccess file looks fine, as far as I can tell, and pretty permalinks were working on both the test server and the live server prior to moving everything over.

    The URL for my site is https://www.planyourmeetings.com – any help will be most appreciated.

    Disregard this, I figured it out. I left the pages tables out of my database export/import because changes had been made on the live server since I’d made a duplicate of the live database for testing purposes, and I didn’t want to overwrite anything. Of course, the pages necessary for logging in using the Front End Profile plugin didn’t exist on the live server. I disabled plugins via FTP, got logged into the dashboard, created the necessary pages, reenabled plugins, and all is well.
