After a site migration, the home page of new site url loads, but the permalinks all redirect to Apache's(i'm on XAMPP stack) default page:
I don't think this is wordpress db issue. otherwise, I would've gotten wordpress's default page not found page. What else is causing this? Is there a .htaccess file somewhere that needs to be modified?
<strong>EDIT</strong>
I used this script for the db migration: <a href="https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/" rel="nofollow">https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/</a>
<strong>EDIT</strong>
So added the default .htaccess from <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess" rel="nofollow">https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess</a>, and it redirects to xampp's homepage. So that officially means the permalink structure somewhere in wordpress db/routing is broken(not routing properly). My new site url is "localhost/somewebsite", where "localhost" is default domain name of my xampp/local dns setup.
Code:
Object not found!
