 * Greetings mshoaibsadiq!
 * Sounds like you’ve already had a good start to troubleshooting!
 * If you’ve recently just transferred your website, I would check out the Codex
   on [“Moving WordPress”](https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress) and see
   if any of those steps were possibly missed during the transfer.
 * Also, did your move involve a new domain, server/provider change, or both?
 * All the best,
    -Kevin

 * Hello again mshoaibsadiq!
 * Maybe take a look at your .htaccess and see if there is anything different there?
   It should look like this by default:
 *     ```
       # 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
       ```

 * [@kpudlo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kpudlo/): This has nothing to do
   with the .htaccess file.
 * > i transferred it to iPage from Godaddy…
 * [@mshoaibsadiq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mshoaibsadiq/): Your database
   table prefix is wrong. Check the prefix in wp-config.php and your database admin
   panel in GoDaddy by using phpmyadmin. Default prefix is `wp_` GoDaddy may have
   that for the database, but the prefix from the old host may be different.
