Problem Moving WordPress Install

    I am trying to move my wordpress install from 1 server to another.
    I have read: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress

    What I did:
    – Download my wordpress folder and database
    – Changed the database info in my wp-config
    – Changed my wordpress / site address via a database editor
    – I uploaded my wordpress folder, and imported my database on my new server

    – I logged into the admin panel on the new site, and all the values were correct (the URLs and permalinks all had the correct (new) server name)
    – All of my pages were still there, and they all showed the correct links (with the new server name)
    – I went to the main page of my new site (a static page), which worked, all my auto generated menus looked good.
    – When I click a link to go to any page other than my home one I get a “Not Found”. I get Not Found even if I click view page from the editor.

    any ideas on how to fix this?

    edit, I did a search in my database for my old host name, and found that it is still in the “guid” for all of my pages. Anyone know how to write a query to change these all?

    Edit: I followed the instructions exactly this time and I have the same problem. If I change my permalink settings to “default”, then all of my links work fine. My problem is when I change it to one that uses the name
