Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moved to a new server, permalinks no longer workingThere was a problem with server configuration and .htaccess (and also a big delay with configuration changes going actually live which also confused things a bit more). I should always start with the simplest solution there is. 😉

In reply to: Moved to a new server, permalinks no longer workingThanks anyway.
It is possible that there is something wrong with hosts settings, as WordPress seems to be really configured properly… We did make the configuration yesterday, but currently I don’t have access to the account to make a triple check, so I will update after I get in contact with the account holder of the host. My guess is that if .htaccess/mod_rewrite has been disabled on the host or not working properly, it causes WP to act this way and results in 404 errors?

In reply to: Moved to a new server, permalinks no longer workingHmm, but the domain remains the same, so I really shouldn’t change the URL to something else?

In reply to: Moved to a new server, permalinks no longer workingThanks for your help. I did the following:
a) .htaccess file seems to be fine and is generated properly after deleting and updating permalinks
b) No absolute path defined in wp-config
c) I did a quick search through the database, and only absolute path reference I could find was in upload_path, which I changed -> no effect. (I’m using phpMyAdmin, and I suppose that using the search function with part of the path should find the local path references?)Also, though I’m sure nothing is usually stored in .php files, I searched contents of the files of the installation directory with part of the path, and no results.
Any other ideas or suggestions if I did something wrong. 🙂
I guess I misinterpreted(?) this part:
If you are moving WordPress from one server to another, begin by backing up your data. This includes backing up your WordPress database as well as all the core files, images, plugins, and other files on your site. See WordPress Backups and Backing Up Your Database for more details.
* Note: If you are changing to a new server but same domain, all you need to do is edit wp-config.php and upload everything as it is to your new server.
