Copied Files of Site Built using C5, Now Pages don't Link Properly -- Please Help ASAP if possible...

Permalink
Hi,

So, for the sake of being understood correctly, I'll tell the whole long story. I built a site for a client. She already had hosting. I built it just using a site-builder that the hosting company had. We had continual problems with that hosting company.

So I got a new hosting company for myself, and got my own domain. I rebuilt my client's website using C5, on a subdomain - testsite1.mydomain.com, finished it; it's awesome. So then I went to her registrar - godaddy - and pointed the nameservers to my new hosting company, and added the domain to my account. All successful so far.

Then I copied all the files from the testsite1.mydomain.com folder to the new folder - clientsdomain.com - in my control panel file manager, and loaded clientsdomain.com.

The homepage comes up. I sign in successfully. Pretty much everything seems to be working correctly -- except that if I click the links on the topnav they direct me to Error 404 page. (If I go to dashboard -> sitemap, and visit the links individually, they all exist perfectly.)

... That gives me an idea... I'll check the paths on the pages... I'm in a rush, because I don't want the website to be "down" like this for too long...
***updated: I checked the paths... and the source on the homepage... they all appear to be in order...

If anyone can help me, I'll be checking this thread frequently. Really hoping I don't have to rebuild the site from scratch...

Concrete5 is pretty awesome, even though I have run into a few "bugs"! =) Thanks

-- Brian

Okay, haha, I figured out how to solve this problem!

All I did was go to dashboard -> site settings -> SEO, and disabled pretty URLs. Then the links worked again. And when I re-enabled the pretty URLs, the links still worked. Haha.
