When you move your WordPress website from one host to another, you might find that the home page loads fine, but all the internal pages show a 404 Not Found error. There are several potential reasons for this issue, but a simple fix that often works is to reset your permalinks.
How to Fix It:
- Login to Your WordPress Dashboard: Access your WordPress admin panel.
- Go to Settings: On the left sidebar, find and click on “Settings.”
- Select Permalinks: Under the Settings menu, click on “Permalinks.”
- Choose Post Name: Select the “Post name” option in Permalink Structure.
- Save Changes: Click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.
By following these steps, WordPress will refresh its rewrite rules, which often resolves the 404 error for internal pages. This quick and easy method can help you fix the issue and get your site running smoothly again after a migration.
