The client just transferred their WordPress website to a new hosting provider and installed WordPress. The administrator can access the WP-Admin page, but no one can access the WordPress default page, receiving the error: “Oops! That page can’t be found.”
To troubleshoot this issue, please follow these steps:
Step 1: Ensure all WordPress files are uploaded to the new hosting server.
Option 1: You can use FTP or SFTP client download and then upload all files to the new hosting.
Option 2: You can use WordPress Plugins to export and then import those files.
Option 3: You can use the backup and restore feature for your website.
Normally, the backup feature is located in the hosting control panel, often referred to as cPanel or a similar interface. The exact location and availability of this feature depend on your hosting company.
Step 2: Verify that you have created the database in the new hosting’s MySQL Database.
Also create a MySQL User.
The MySQL feature is located in the hosting cPanel.
Step 3: Use phpMyAdmin to import the new Database.
Again, The phpMyAdmin feature is located in the hosting cPanel.
Step 4. Reconfigure the wp-config.php
file to match the new database name, username, and password.
Now, your visitors should be able to access the WordPress in the new hosting.
