This can be very tricky sometimes depending on your hosting company... Sometimes you need to go into your phpmyadmin under wp-options and change you url. You may also need to go into your wp-config file and make changes. An easy to migrate your workpress to a live server is to use a software built for this. https://serverpress.com/

I'm having the same problem... the index page is loading fine, but all other pages give me a 404 error. Ironically, the 404 page doesn't even display MY 404 page (it's the default page).

My url listed in wp-options is correct and I made the necessary changes to my config file. I'm very confused :(

Sounds like you are having problems with your data base.. Did you do a find and replace to rename your files to your live sites name?

Thank you for your quick reply! Yes, once my files were uploaded to the server, I logged in to the live wordpress site admin and ran a search and replace.

Do you have customer support from you server? They may help you with your issue. I have never uploaded any files using serverpress however they do have an excellent customer support for uploaded your files using them.

Have not uploaded any new wordpress sites for some time but I had to go into my phpadmin changeing to wp_options renaming from http:localhost to my live server address.

The other thing I had to do is change the info in my wp-config file /** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'your_username');

/** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your_password);

Changing the wp-config before you upload your files

Thank you so much for your input! I made sure the config file was current with my live database settings and the DB_HOST stayed localhost for me.

I got it to work by going into my wordpress general settings and clicking save (without changing anything); then I went to my permalink and clicked save (again, I didn't change anything). Then, I refreshed my site and it worked. I wonder if by doing a search and replace and not saving those two settings after they changed caused it to not work? I don't know, but I'll take it!

Yes after you make changes you must refresh to see the changes.. Sometime you must also go into you browser and clear your cache in order for you to view the changes..
