moved site, matched permalinks, only wp-admin and home accessible. 404 on rest.

    We just moved our site to a new server. Went smoothly. WP-admin works fine, all items match old location. Home page loads: fabritrak.net, but inside pages not accessible. 404 error.
    1. tried to delete .htaccess file and regenerate through settings > permalinks. Didn’t help.
    2. verified permalinks structure matched my old location/database.
    /%category%/%postname%/ still doesn’t work:
    https://fabritrak.net/contact-fabritrak/
    3. Confirmed URL paths in database match old in wp-options > browse site URL: line 1 and home line 37.
    4. editing pages and attempting to preview – 404.
    5. creating new page or post and previewing before permalink is invoked: https://fabritrak.net/?p=2640&preview=true works.

    Definitely seems to be a permalinks issue?

  • What happens if you use the default permalink structure? Have you checked with your hosts that mod_rewrite is running on your new server?

    Thank you. Works in default mode. Checking on mod_rewrite question. Do I set that in the phpmyadmin or is it something that the hosting company needs to enable?

    WORKS! had to sync htaccess file in cpanel.
    THANK YOU!
    Every hosting company is different. They walked me through and showed me what to click. Any time a change is made to permalink structure, this has to be done to enable the change to the htaccess file. Learned something new.

    Glad to hear that you got it sorted.
