Use PHPMyadmin or something to review the wp_options table. It likely still has references to your old server, like
'/home/user/directory/'
After making a backup copy of that table, find what the correct path is, and use the following MySQL query to correct your wp_options entriesYou need to update the sites address in the database. Because the data is serialized you can’t just update it with a simple query. I would recommend running this serialized data tool. I have no affiliation with the tool and it is free. I have used it a ton of times and it works great.
You will just replace the URL you used on your local machine with the one for the server you are running the tool on.
