Magento 1.9: frontend pages are blank (only header is visible)

I am new to Magento, We have one Magento 1.9 version website. Actually I want to change the host, for this, I took all files backup from the server and also exported the database and then I have uploaded all files into another host(Godaddy) and imported the database. Everything working fine at the admin panel or backend pages, but front end pages not loading properly, just its loading header part of the page.
I didn't change anything in the files, I just transferred the files from one host into another hosting, but I don't know why frontend pages are not loading.
Please anyone give me a solution to fix that issue. Please see the below screenshot for reference. Thank you in advance.
This behavior could be due to a PHP error that is not being printed to the screen because of the PHP configuration. Try enabling print error on PHP and see if anything shows up. Contact your provider (Godaddy) for guidance.
Also, ensure that all configuration on admin panel is set. When you upload database and make a new installation, even when uploading the old database, if you do not specify the same old encryption key, some configuration will be missing, for example payment provider tokens and so on.
Check also if your home page CMS still exists and is configured to show on home page. Check this on CMS pages and maybe on your theme configuration.
system -> configuration -> general -> web -> homepage CMS
For any further guidance, would need more details.

Url Rewrite of a CMS page in Magento

As a new magento developer I'm using a theme to develop my store. I want to change the URL key of CMS page about. I followed the steps written here but I can't find my layout file for about page on the theme directory or base directory for change XML URL tag.
How can I edit the layout file? Can anyone help me?
Actually that tutorial is a little confusing because there, they are showing an example of changing a URL for two different type of pages (CMS and system).
For changing the URL of a CMS page, like about in your case, it's enough that you proceed until point 12. In short:
First. you change the URL from: (main menu) CMS/Pages/Your_Page -> Url Key: newURL
Then, find the blocks that it is used (e.g footer) and change the URL accordingly.
Plus, in general working in Magento after changing things like page URLs you need to do a reindex and in case of using cache you have to refresh/remove your cached data. Both could be found under System tab (Cache Management & Index Management).

How to forward all the 404 pages to the front page?

I have a simple question...I had an old store and people bookmarked specific product pages in their browsers as well as Google search points to some specific pages. I have now installed a new version of Magento (1.9.1) and some of these URLs will not longer work (they will show the standard 404 not found Magento page).
What would be the best way to forward all these hits to the front page?
Thank you for any suggestions!
Allysin :-*
Login to the admin, go to System>Configuration>Web and change the drop-down value for CMS No Route Page in the Default Pages section. You should be able to select your CMS Home Page.

How to set the default store (___store) with Magento, excluding front/home page

My current Magento website is requesting a store (via lightbox) when the user first arrives on the home page. The user will continue navigating the website and content will appear properly without any issues.
The problem is when they arrive on a sub-page of the website and the store has not been set previously by the user. This also impacts SEO.
Question: How do I set the default store, without affecting the lightbox that is appearing on the home page.
From the comments traded back and forth, it sounds like your default store isn't set properly. If you aren't using any index.php hacks to do with store view setting, you should be able to follow the following steps to resolve this:

Magento not using appropriate URL - 404 Page not found

I have a magento site running locally using WAMP and it works great. However I need to create a different site so I created a folder for this new site under htdocs.
In that folder I loaded the Magento files.
Created a new database for newsite with all rights in phpmyadmin.
Went to the localhost:8888/newsite and started Magento installation wizard.
In the configuration section of the wizard I entered all the info required: db name, user, password. For URL Base I used the default (http://localhost:8888/newsite). Selected allow charts and Allow apache rewrites. Finished installing magento.
Now magento is running on newsite. I can see the front and back-end of the site.
Here is the problem: When I create a category and/or subcategory, magento does create the menu link but when I click any category, the browser takes me to a 404 not found. Upon analyzing the URL that took me there i see that the URL is : http://localhost:8888/newsite/category.html BUT by adding "index.php" into the URL (http://localhost:8888/newsite/index.php/category.html , the page does work!
So this means magento IS creating the page for the category but the linking is somewhat wrong.
Now, I've been making sure that rewrite is enabled and after all, the other site I mentioned I have is working properly, so I assume rewrite is properly enabled.
So I need help finding:
Why is one site working and the other isn't?
How can I fix this issue?
Thank you!
Sounds like you haven't copied over the .htaccess file (in your Magento root folder). You need this file for the Apache rewrites to work.
