I have uploaded all of my site files to the host. When I enter my url I get the homepage but clicking on the links gives me pages with a 404 error. Why would this be as everything worked fine on my local server? Also, possibly related to this, why has my front page slider corrupted and now shows all pictures in a column rather than in the slider?

Pretty much just deactivate all the plug-ins and then see if the other pages worked (which did it for me) then just go back in and reactivate them.
Hope this helps!

Treehouse TeacherIt sounds like the paths you're using to your other pages and possibly CSS files aren't relative paths. Check to make sure the paths are correct.

1,709 PointsHi Jennifer, how do I do that? I'm re-uploading my wp-content folder at the moment hoping it is just some corruption in the plugin file. I have my fingers crossed but if that doesn't work I'll check the paths if you can tell me how to do that.
No, no difference there!! Very frustrating

951 PointsThank you for this advice Brennen.
I was getting a problem where all the pages on my live site were bringing up a 404 error, because the links were trying to go to 'localwp.com/index.php', despite having run the Search and Replace. I tried activating another theme which didn't work. What did work was deactivating all the plugins, as you suggested. The pages worked fine without plugins running, then when I activated each plugin one by one the pages still worked. So clearly the plugins were causing a conflict and needed a reboot.
