Transfered hosting to godaddy- admin styles not showing

[Tailwater]

Have a joomla site running 4.2 that was on Hostgator and transferred to Godaddy. That was not fun in itself. The site looks fine but not sure why the admin panel has no styles. What can I check?

www.catchingshadows.com
admin: www.catchingshadows.com/administrator

you will see it has no style.

Thx for any help

Welcome to Joomla forum

Can you try clean well your cache? Also, try trought FTP clean the cache folders in the root of your site and in the administrator folder. If not works, check your browser console and see if you can see some errors there.

I just disabbled gzip in .htaccess file to test that and it fixed it but what is the proper way to address this? Gzip is off in global Config already!

more specifically these line:

# RewriteCond "%{HTTP:Accept-encoding}" "gzip"
# RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.gz" -s
# RewriteRule "^(.*)\.css" "$1\.css\.gz" [QSA]

# Serve gzip compressed JS files if they exist
# and the client accepts gzip.
# RewriteCond "%{HTTP:Accept-encoding}" "gzip"
# RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.gz" -s
# RewriteRule "^(.*)\.js" "$1\.js\.gz" [QSA]

# Serve correct content types, and prevent mod_deflate double gzip.
# RewriteRule "\.css\.gz$" "-" [T=text/css,E=no-gzip:1]
# RewriteRule "\.js\.gz$" "-" [T=text/javascript,E=no-gzip:1]

Ahh... I seen you have posted an update - disabled Gzip, and I see your/administrator works normally.

These may help resolve, or at least explain the possible problem:
