    Hi,

    I have a task to update an existing WordPress website which i did but now with the new version the content is not being displayed correctly and the navigation links do not work.

    I just get:

    The requested URL /about/ was not found on this server.
    The requested URL /projects/ was not found on this server.
    etc.

    Why would it not work if i have not made any changes to in the wp-content folder?

    Kind regards,
    laanes

    Might just need to reset permalinks

    go to settings -> Permalinks’

    set back to default and save
    if things are good, set back to custom

    If that doesn’t work, you may have a plugin or theme that is no longer compatible

    Deactyivate all plugins and test. If that fixes problem, reactivate plugins one at a time til you find the problem

    If its not permalinks or plugins, switch to twentyten theme and test to see if its theme related

    It was indeed the permalinks. 🙂

    The plugin that is causing me trouble is Magic Fields. Since the whole website relies heavily on it, i think i cant just deactivate it. Would there be a way of getting magic fields to be happy again?

    Thank you for your reply!

    Hello,

    I decided to re-install the old WordPress version, a mirror copy of the old files which were working perfectly but now when installing it into the new hosting server it points me back to the index page of my old host.

    Is there a path somewhere in the files that has to be changed in order to make the site point to my new host?

    Kind regards,
    Laanes

    Update:

    Magic Fields was functioning all the time and didn’t have anything to do with my issue.

    Permalinks was the main problem and also white space between <?php ?> tags in some of the template files which started to be a problem after upgrading to WP 3

    Thank you Rev. Voodoo and Hunk for being supportive.
