Main navigation still broken after transfer from localhost.

    Hello everyone.

    I’ve been learning how to migrate a WordPress site for the past week and I’m almost there.

    After managing to log into my admin area and running a Search and replace for any instances of my localhost URL my main navigation still doesn’t seem to be working.


    localwp.com/index.php was not found on this server.

    Any ideas on what might be the problem? It seems to still want to look for a URL on local host going back to the index.php file.

    I use XAMPP control panel v3.2.1
    Wordpress v4.4
    Better Search Replace v1.2.9

    Have you updated your site address and WordPress address? You may also want to try deleting your .htaccess file and saving your permalinks again.

    Hi Geoffrey,

    Yes I updated the HOME and SITEURL constants in WordPress. I notice that change has taken effect in the general settings.

    I’ve looked at a few of the permalinks when I was looking around in my admin area and they look up to date.

    I don’t know how, or why, but the links on my main navigation are now working!!! and it’s local version now broken.

    I did look at my Search/Replace plugin one more time but I did dry runs that told me the tests I was making wouldn’t have made any changes anyway. But right now, my websites links are all working 😀

    Thanks again!
