Everything is working fine until I try to leave the homepage…

    Greetings,

    I am trying to get a localhost copy of a production server install completed so I can develope a child theme and further customize a Website. I am running a Bitnami LAMP stack which appears to be working fine (I believe).

    I followed your 10 steps to transfer a Website found in another post here (As read in the WordPress forum here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-copy-wordpress-site-to-local-test-server?replies=34). Everything seemed to work fine. I launched the newly installed Website and logged into the back office fine. I next clicked “Visit Site” and the home page is loading 100% perfectly BUT when I click any other menu links like to the Contact Us page I receive the following 404 error:
    Not Found

    The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

    Any idea why I am unable to get any other pages except for the home page to load correctly? I did check the link and it looks correct (https://localhost/www.cryonite.com/contact-us/)?

    Again (https://localhost/www.cryonite.com/) loads 100 percent perfectly. Any help greatly appreciated!

    The only thing I did in addition to the steps you linked was an update to wp_postmeta:

    update wp_postmeta set meta_value = replace(meta_value, 'https://www.cryonite.com', 'http:\\localhost\www.cryonite.com')
