    Greetings Experts,

    I recently did a transfer of a WordPress website, before doing so, I read multiple articles about the topic, and watched numerous tutorials. The HTML and CSS moved fine, its the linking to pages in the navigation menu and linking to images in the homepage slideshow gallery that i’m having trouble with. Also, the back-end WordPress login to website doesn’t work, it redirects to a blank page. I noticed in my wp-options in phpmyadmin the blog url & site url are set to “https://example.com” and when i correct the values, they always revert back to “https://example.com” why is that? I tried calling godaddy support and they have no clue either.

  • Use this SQL query in phpMyAdmin, it will change all references in posts as well as the site. Do it as the first thing you do when you move a site.

    UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'https://oldsite.com', 'https://newsite.com') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';

UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'https://oldsite.com','https://newsite.com');

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'https://oldsite.com', 'https://newsite.com');

UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value, 'https://oldsite.com', 'https://newsite.com');

    Give this a read, it’s a little more comprehensive.

    Make sure you have a full file and database backup off of your webserver before you try this.

    Update:

    Still no fix. I’ve tried the query & even a search and replace on the DB SQL file @chrispink.

    Thanks for the link, I did it step by step but my permalinks still seem to be broken @jandembowski

    even?!! that’s the standard technique for moving the site.

    does the site work with pretty permalinks turned off ? ie /?p=123? and have you deleted the .htaccess file before remaking it with the permalink settings? do you have any language plugins? these can mess with permalinks.
