 * Hi,
 * Trying to migrate a development site from MAMP/localhost to a test server (using
   Duplicator Pro), but I’m getting the following after deployment:
 * [http://d.pr/i/GgyQ](http://d.pr/i/GgyQ)
 * > **SERIALIZATION ERRORS (1)**
   >  Use the SQL below to display data that may have
   > not been updated correctly during the serialization process.
 * I’m able to access the admin interface and re-save permalink settings, but only
   the site’s homepage loads correctly on the test server. Any other page throws
   a 404.
 * Any idea what the issue might be? It’s a bone stock LEMP stack running on DigitalOcean
   behind the scenes.
 * Thank you!

 * Hey Mathazzar,
 * It looks like that serialization error shouldn’t cause your whole site to get
   404s, I think there may be another issue causing that. If your using the Pro 
   version go ahead and submit your request to the [Pro ticket center](https://snapcreek.com/ticket).
   You will a much faster response there…
 * Cheers~
