Migrating Site to a New Server – Getting 404 on the Front Page

    Hoping someone brilliant here can help! :o) We’re moving a WP site to a new server and have it set up on a temp URL. I’ve copied everything – templates, plugins and DB, and am having an issue with the site not showing as it should. I’m sure it’s something simple, but I can’t quite figure out how to even begin (this WP site migration is new to me). This is what it SHOULD look like: https://www.fearlessdelivery.com, and this is what the temp site looks like: https://tofino.directrouter.com/~fearless/httpdocs

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! I’ll keep poking around in the forums in the meantime.

    Hi there – I actually figured it out, but hadn’t got back here to post that I’d found a solution. It was an issue with changing the home page URL in the general settings – I had it set to the ‘old’ site. I’ll mark this as resolved. Thanks!
