hi, i just moved my site from hostgator to digital ocean. After installing the site using duplicator plugin, everything went well except for two things:
2 since the permalinks have not been updated as i’m not able to login using my credentials used earlier, the website is showing just the theme and no links.
What has went wrong and how can it be corrected?

@SGHoepfner, I had the same issue and couldn’t find whats going wrong. Finally, checked the php_error.log file and figured out that Rev Slider was causing fatal errors. So, deleted the plug in folder of Revolution Slider and I was successful to access.
Thank you so much @sid431 I was running in to the same problem, Duplicator would install all of the files but come back with hundreds of sql errors. I checked the database and it wasn’t all there, there were no user records, etc., so I knew the database wasn’t being copied even though the Duplicator connection test was working perfectly.
The Duplicator plugin should check for strict SQL mode and report back that it might cause an issue.
Thanks again!
Can you clarify how you started out? Did you use the DO WordPress one-click image, the LAMP image or did you start from scratch. If you can walk us through the steps you took to get to this point we’ll likely be able to help you get this resolved.
If you need to reset the “admin” user’s password in WordPress this can be done from the command line directly in MySQL.
update wp_users set user_pass = MD5("newpassword") where user_login = "admin";
If you have a different database prefix (wp_) or admin username you’ll need to adjust accordingly.
