Title: Problem after wordpress migration, duplicate permalinks? Last modified: May 2, 2020 --- # Problem after wordpress migration, duplicate permalinks? * [traintop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/traintop/) * (@traintop) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-wordpress-migration-duplicate-permalinks/) * Hello, * I am running bitnami wordpress in a virtual machine (vbox), everything was fine until I have decided to migrate my website to my other computer. * I have used the all-in-one wordpress migration plugin to do the migration * After that, I was facing problems with permalinks. The site was still configured with the old ip (_192.168.1.24_) and hadn’t update to the new one (_192.168.1.25_) * I solved that problem using the search and replace plugin * _NOTE:_I have not configure the site with a DNS. I don’t have a domain name at the moment because I’m just practicing locally. * Now I am facing a different problem. It is hard to explain but its like there are duplicate versions of each page, one with the 192.168.1.24 and another with 192.168.1.25. * For example, when I click on the “contact us” page the link is [http://192.168.1.25/wordpress/contact](http://192.168.1.25/wordpress/contact) * but when I click on a second time it goes back to [http://192.168.1.24/wordpress/wordpress/contact](http://192.168.1.24/wordpress/wordpress/contact) * It is as if there are duplicate permalinks * It literally drives me insane * I search for hours trying to find a solution to this problem with no avail. * The only explanation I can come up with is that during the migration I had the site running on both computers, maybe there was an interference? * Any help greatly appreciated * Thanks in advance. - This topic was modified 6 years ago by [traintop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/traintop/).
