Site migration is missing pages only

  • I am migrating a website from GoDaddy that was developed by a 3rd Party to a locally hosted server. I migrated the site manually by SFTPing the files, backed up and restored the database, edited the wp-config.php file, etc.

    As I check the locally restored site, I see that all of my menu referenced pages are missing. When I try to access the page, I get the “Not Found – The requested URL was not found on this server.” error message. The home page is there and all styling looks correct. Some of the menu items reference .pdf documents and those are all there as well. It seems just the pages are missing that are referenced by my menu even though the WP Admin console shows the pages are there and published.

    Since I have not yet made the site *live* by pointing my DNS records to the site, I’m accessing the site on my network by the IP address of: https://10.7.2.125/domain.org/public_html. Of course, within the WP Admin General Settings are, both the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) are both set to: https://10.7.2.125/domain.org/public_html

    Is it possible that’s why, when I view the site locally, my menu referenced .php pages are not being found?…i.e., I need to change both of these fields to https://domain.org. Or, maybe somehow, I have a relative and/or absolute reference somewhere that’s broken?

    Thank you!

  • Go to your dashboard – settings – permalink and hit save or just select another option and then select your preferred option back and save.

    That should fix it.
