Files uploaded one domain to another domain but menu not working

Question

I have configured a site using WP on my Development Server and now I have moved it to another server with new URL. I have changed URL in database as well. But, my menus are pointing to the OLD URL and I am getting a 404 error.

How can I change them?

Answer 1

Try to use some wordpress plugins to migrate your website between servers.

Duplicator is one of them.

You will have to do minimum effort if you use some tools.

Answer 2

Make SQL dump, overwrite old domain, load dump.

Also checks configuration files & themes.

Answer 3

You probably forget some links in your database. Check the following fields:

In wp_options , options with the following option_name :

siteurl , home

In wp_posts :

Check all the guid values.

You need also to check that your .htaccess is using the correct RewriteBase .

If your menus are built from a special theme feature (not the default WP menu functionality), you may have some encoded string in wp_options that reflect the menu settings. If so check on this procedure .
