Admin not Accessible after Migration

    I’ve migrated a wordpress site from a hosting provider to a local server running on IIS.
    Everything seems to be loading but when I try and access https://website.com/wp-admin it returns a 404 error. I found if I went into the database and clear the field in “permalink_structure” under the table wp_options it gives me access, but then it breaks a lot of links on my homescreen. (When I have the value /%postname%/ the links on the site work but the admin is inaccessible). If I do have a session logged into the admin I am able to continue to access it once I make the change but once I log out I have to update that DB temporarily to be able to relogin. Any suggestions?

    While in DB, check the wp_options Table (Note: The table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed it when installing), and make sure siteurl field and home field are correct.

    Looks like I forgot to update the home field. Thanks!

    You are welcome ??

    I have the same problem.
    After migrating, the admin area is not accessable.
    I tryed altering the permalink_structure same as indicated above with no success.
    Are any other ways I can try to do this?
    Thanks.

    Side not to @msbolognese,

    If you noticed, this topic is marked as “resolved”!!

    If the troubleshooting already posted made no difference for you, then, as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.

    Well I feel that opening a new topic with the very same content is not productive or smart.
    But if I must….
