title: Migration of Wordpress sites to a local WAMPserver, now the pages cannot be found
body: <p>Recently at our agency we needed to do a serious overhaul of our servers, so I've had to migrate the sites onto a local host machine so that I could work on them in the meantime. I used WAMPserver to host the sites, and the sites are powered by Wordpress. When the move was complete, I checked the sites on my local host to see how they looked. The front pages looked perfectly fine, but whenever I tried to navigate to the inner pages, I was met with nothing but 404s. My supervisor believes it might be connection issue, but I wanted to check here first to see if anyone else had similar problems.</p>
  
  <p><strong>OS:</strong> Windows 7<br>
  <strong>WAMPserver version:</strong> 2.2</p>
  
  <p><strong>Steps already taken</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I made sure that the local databases were named exactly as they were on the original server, and I double-checked with the wp-config file.</li>
  <li>I made sure to obtain the SQL files for the databases and imported
  them in phpmyadmin.</li>
  <li>I went into the SQL files and changed all of the links (changed all instances of <a href="http://www.sitename.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.sitename.com</a> to <a href="http://localhost/sitename" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/sitename</a>)</li>
  <li>I logged into the Wordpress admin dashboard to check if all of the content was actually there. Everything was intact, but even clicking on "view post/page" on each individual post/page resulted in a 404.</li>
  <li>I tried returning the permalink options to default and then changing them back, but that didn't work.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, I cannot provide any more information as I am no longer in the office. I hope that I can receive some help by the time I go back in tomorrow morning.</p>
