    Hi all,

    I just transferred my site www.smsbucket.com to new host, if you open the site you can see the homepage but if you click on any inner pages link you will see a 404 not found error.

    I can login to admin panel, add new sms, they are showing on homepage without any problem but where have the inner pages gone?

    Can anybody tell me how to fix it?

    Go to wp-admin>settings>permalinks. Then click the update permalinks. That should do the fix assuming that your .htaccess is writable.

    ^ Yep that should fix the problem. You just need to update permalinks.

    Actually problem fixed automatically. I didn't even change anything. I just went to Wp-admin > settings > permalinks > and I was just looking at the different permalink structures that which one to choose but without changing anything when I looked at the site again and tried to browse the pages they were loading fine... strange.

    Was it something related to hosting then?

    Nope, you really didn't need to change your permalinks. You just need to click the update permalinks so that your .htaccess will update. And no, it's not a problem on your hosting. As i had said, your .htaccess only needs to be updated :)
