How to repair permalinks on wordpress – CPanel

I just relocated my wordpress application, and lost my permalinks. I did NOT change URLs. this is just a server-to-server transfer. I’m hoping someone can see what I have done here, and tell me where I went wrong.

I’m expecting: https://trekfederation.com/%postname% to work, but it fails. When I turn off permalinks, Most of my links come back into play. Woocommerce still is down, but I think that that particular issue is related. To that end, I’m placing my .htaccess file and my apache2 virtualhost settings to see if someone can help me figure out where I went wrong.

Thanks

    ok.

    I found out the problem. I accidentally had TWO *.conf files for apache running this site. I was updating ONE, wordpress was using the other.

    Once I updated the OTHER one, it all came into play.

    WordPress saves its base url in the database in several fields. Have you checked that already? Most important is in wp_options the fields siteurl and home.

    When you change the location (url) of your installation you can get problems with resources like styles and images not loaded and broken links.

    You could change that via SQL with somethin like this:

    UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = REPLACE(meta_value, "https://trekfederation.com", "https://trekfederation.com/newlocation");

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE (post_content, "https://trekfederation.com", "https://trekfederation.com/newlocation");

UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = REPLACE (guid, "https://trekfederation.com", "https://trekfederation.com/newlocation");

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = REPLACE(option_value, "https://trekfederation.com", "https://trekfederation.com/newlocation");
