  I’m helping a friend move hosts – I’ve backed up their files and DBs, and moved them to the new host. I’ve changed the wp-config.php so that it has the right details for the databases. The blog appears, but it shows ‘No Posts Found’ for all of the categories:

  http://74.52.133.50/~dcberkel/

  I haven’t switched the DNS over yet, and when I try to go into the admin panel to turn off permalinking, or to set the site path to the IP, it’s redirecting to the proper domain name.

  If I switch the DNS, will the site just start working, or is there another issue I’ve missed? I don’t want to tell her to switch if the ‘no posts found’ is down to another problem, not just because some of the links are looking to the other server.

  Thanks.

  Sorry, you’re in the wrong place.

  Your friend has a self hosted blog. The support forums are at http://wordpress.org/support

  See the sticky at the top of the forums for reference.
