Step 1: Refresh Permalinks (Most Common Fix)

Sometimes, the permalink structure or .htaccess rules get stuck during migration, causing pages to render on the frontend even if they aren’t loading properly in the dashboard.

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Settings > Permalinks.
3. Do not change anything, simply scroll to the bottom and click Save Changes twice. This flushes and refreshes your URL rewrite rules.

Step 2: Check for a Child Page or Slug Conflict

In WordPress, a URL like /premises/267-old-brompton-road-graham-smith/ means it could be a child page under the main “Premises” page.

1. Go to Pages > All Pages.
2. Look closely at the hierarchy under the main Premises page, or use the search bar at the top right to type 267-old or Graham Smith.
3. Check your Trash folder as well, in case it was accidentally deleted during the migration.

Step 3: Search Directly in the Database (phpMyAdmin)

If the page is completely missing from your WordPress dashboard and FileZilla, it might be hanging in the database tables.

1. Log in to your hosting control panel (cPanel, hPanel, etc.) and open phpMyAdmin.
2. Select your website’s database.
3. Click on the wp_posts table (note: your table prefix might be different, like wp_3g7_posts).
4. Click on the Search tab at the top.
5. In the post_name field, type 267-old-brompton-road-graham-smith and click Go.
   • If it appears here: Check its post_status. If it says draft, pending, or trash, change it to publish.
   • If it does not appear here: It means the page data is not in your current database.

Step 4: Clear Server and Browser Cache

Since you just migrated from WordPress.com to a standalone host, old cached versions of the site might still be showing up.

• Hosting/CDN Cache: If you use Cloudflare or a caching plugin (like LiteSpeed, WP Rocket), go to your settings and click Purge All Cache.
• Browser Cache: Open the link in an Incognito / Private Window to see if the page actually still exists or if it’s just your browser showing an old cached copy.
