   I recently moved a WP site from one hosting company to another. I started with a fresh installation and imported content. Everything is working on the site and almost everything is working in the WP Dashboard, with one exception - If I go to the "Pages" page, the first group of 1-20 is there and is both viewable and editable. If I try to go to the 2nd page by either clicking on "2" or the next arrows, >>, I get an error:

   "Firefox can't find the server at wp-admin."

   I can hardcode ?pagenum=2 into the url and it works fine.

   It is somehow losing the root site name in the link. I have done a search, both here and on the web, and have not seen anything similar.

   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

   Thanks.

   first page is http://domainname.com/wp-admin/edit-pages.php

   2nd page is http://wp-admin/edit-pages.php?pagenum=2

   Thanks.

   Well, the url is correct. so I'd guess that it's a server or rewrite issue. Any .htaccess file in wp-admin? What's in the WP root .htaccess file?

   Pretty generic from the little I know about this file:

   # Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
   AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php

   # BEGIN WordPress

   # END WordPress

   Just re-checked the 2 links you posted and the 2nd one is completely shot. Your .htaccess file looks fine, so what urls are being used in Settings/General?

   Any plugins running? Tried switching to the default theme?

   I tried switching to default theme and deactivated the one plugin I am using, no change as far as the page URL issue.

   What do you have for the two URLs in Settings/General?

    Do you have more than 1 page of categories or tags?

    Sorry, my internet connection was down for a day.

    I have 0 categories or tags.

    Different browser - same issue.

    Just hovering over the page 2 link (from page 1) points to http://wp-admin instead of http://domainname.com/wp-admin

    Try re-uploading the wp-admin & wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.

    Just to make sure I understand, do a fresh download to a separate folder, then upload just the wp-admin and wp-includes folders, correct?

    Thanks for the help.

    Correct.

    1. Download WordPress

    2. Delete the /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ directories from your server.

    3. Upload the /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ directories from the fresh download.
