导入wordpress网站

Someone gave me a wordpress website (files and sql dump), I imported the database into mysql and the files onto my ftp. I modified the site and home url in the option table and opened the website.

The index page is fine but any link I click returns a 404. So I thought about .htaccess and tried the default one:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

But now instead of 404 I have a text like that:

Login
mysitename

How can I know what's the problem ?

I finally found a solution:

• in the template-loader.php file I commented out do_action( 'template_redirect' ); which solved the 404 error for url like domain.tld/index.php?page_id=123 but not for formated url like domain.tld/cat/title
• as it gave me access to admin I verified the site url in the settings and saved. - I also modified permalink style and saved several times (it didn't work first time)

Now it works

You can open the exported SQL file in an editor and find/replace every instance of the previous URL with the new URL (i.e. http://www.example2.com replacing http://www.example1.com. Then transfer it again to the server.

In addition you have to edit the server and connection settings in the wp-config.php file

ADDITION:

And another thing, an old WP bug which keeps coming: After doing all that just go to the "Permalinks" page in the backend once. Somehow this (i.e. just opening that page) resets the permalinks settings which otherwise sometimes are broken.
