Question: why is it that when I duplicate my website and then upload it onto my local host xampp, only my home page works and the rest takes me to the "phpmyadmin" page?
This problem could be occurring due to a few possible reasons: 1. **Inappropriate .htaccess configuration:** Check your .htaccess file, it may be directing the server to an incorrect location or the configuration might be incorrect for the new local host. 2. **Incorrect Base URL:** Another common issue can be wrong base URL. Make sure your base URL in your local configuration is correctly set to your local server. 3. **Database Connection Issue:** There might be a database connection issue. Confirm the database connection details (server, name, user, password) in the wp-config.php file match those of your local XAMPP installation. 4. **Linking to Absolute Paths:** Many times, this problem occurs, when a website is directly linking to absolute URL paths. Always use relative URLs when linking to other pages or assets like stylesheets, images, etc. In WordPress, there are plugins like Velvet Blues Update URLs that can help you quickly fix this. 5. **PHP Errors:** Sometimes PHP errors can cause navigation problems. Turn on error reporting in your php.ini file to see if there are any obvious errors returning. 6. **Permissions issue:** Ensure you have the correct read/write permissions on your files and directories. If none of the above resolves your problem, it might be a good idea to debug step by step or look for specific issues in your website's code.
