Migrate from GoDaddy Managed Hosting to Local

Replies: 0

I’m trying to move a site from GoDaddy Managed WordPress to Local. I’ve tried a number of different ways to create the zip file, with limited success.

If I copy the DB, media, plugins, when I start the site I get the correct first page. But if I click on any of the links (to posts, pages, etc) I get not found errors. ie https://delmarvarobotics.local/2024/03/full-volume-elementary-extravaganza/

I’ve tried changing the routing, when I do the local routing I get connection refused.

If I try bringing everything over (DB, Plugins, Media, WP core) I get 500 errors on the links.

If I bring over everything plus the GoDaddy php files, I also get 500 errors.

Is there a preferred selection list to create the zip file for GoDaddy Managed Hosting moves?

Thanks!
