problem after migrating to new host

  • Hi all,

    I am migrating a wordpress website to another hosting provider. At the same time im transferring my domain name to this new hosting provider. Ive exported my database files and all wordpress files, and re uploaded onto new server etc with all the right databases names and that.

    Atm I am getting oops that page cannot be found when i goto the homepage, no other page is category is working, and the wp-admin panel aint working either. At one point I did have the admin panel working, but not the main page, and also i did have the main page working but not the admin panel..

    The domain name transfer is still in progress, and I am using a temporary IP for the moment. Any ideas on why this might be happening? I done a couple of migrations the other week and it appeared to be fine..

  • If you’re using the temporary IP, that might explain some of your problems:

    1 — Depending on the theme, it looks for a specific URL to load. If you pull up the home page via IP, you’ll get that “oops” message. Once the real domain name is in place it should be fine.
    2 — Not sure about page categories. Could be related to the domain name, or you may just need to reset your permalinks.
    3 — Admin panel is similar. It can have difficulties if the URL you’re using for the panel doesn’t match what is the the URL settings inside of WordPress. You can manually adjust that for now to match the IP via phpMyAdmin in the wp_options table if you’re feeling adventurous.
