 * Hi there!
 * I have a very strange issue that I never experienced before. I created a new 
   wordpress site for a client on my development server at the address clientname.
   mytestserver.it (fake domain) and now I moved it on the client production server
   at the addrress clientdomain.eu (once again, fake domain) . I used wordpress 
   migrate db plugin to replace the domain names or I tried a simple mysql export/
   import via php admin but everytime I have the same result: the new db is created
   okay, all data is present in wordpress tables, but any page or post gives a 404
   error. Inside wp admin I can see that I have, for instance, 13 pages but they
   are not listed. I can create a new page, it will be added in the database but
   will not be listed in wp admin. The same goes for posts, media files, custom 
   posts, cf7 forms…..everything.
 * This only happens when I replace the old domain with the new one. If I leave 
   the db untouched on the new server (with the old domain) everything works fine…
   I just cannot click on any link, as I will be redirected on the development server.
 * Any Idea?

 * Your database may still contain old URLs that cause the redirection and other
   problems. Do a search and replace so that no old URLs remain.

 * Yep Krishna! Did it via search & replace. All old url strings were replaced….
   and boom! All is gone from wp-admin. Can it be some dns issue?

 * DNS settings can take up to 72 hours to populate (often much less). When did 
   you set name servers?

 * Right from the first post by you, everything seems weird and should not be that
   way. I think you should test the site again on a local installation or test site,
   and when everything is OK, change the URLs and then transfer to the live site.
 * BTW, it’s time for the DNS to populate.

 * Hi there!
 * I fixed it. I didn’t think this could be the case, but it was a plugin issue.
   I had a commercial plugin which was licensed to my development domain, so I disabled
   and reissued the license to the production domain.
 * Everything is working fine, now.
 * Thanks
