Ha! I figured the 404 error part out. I destroyed my .htaccess file and needed to replace it.

I am still having issues with wp-admin though. Getting the same 403 error.

Any ideas?

@skotter

No, I did not go to /wp-admin/install.php. When I tried to do that just now though, it gave me another 404.

Thank you for your continued help dkotter.

The URL has not changed from server to server. On the old server my URL was matthewbaltrusitis.com and it is the same on my new server.

Just for posterity though, i checked the wp_options table and the second line was my URL. First line was a “0_transient_random_seed,” not sure if that matters.

Thank you dkotter!

I was able to achieve this by using

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li='); ?>

Believe it or not, but now I have a “Blog” link showing up. I tried adding:

<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&exclude=BLOG ID #&title_li='); ?>

But that didn’t work.

The other thing…
It’s not
matthewbaltrusitis.com/categories/portfolio
but
https://www.matthewbaltrusitis.com/category/portfolio

you can change what it says (category or categories or whatever in the settings under permalinks)

Ugh duh, obviously. Don’t know what I made the plural.

I tried your suggestion, didn’t work.

I restored the .htaccess file to the original content so I am now able to get to my admin login screen.

Now I just need to fix my RSS feeds. Here is the error log.
