Hey there
Strange thing happening now, when I got to rmgfund.com/security it redirects me to this website: http://redwoodmedia.biz/ Do you have any redirection plugins set up or anything strange written in your .htaccess file?
There’s no .htaccess file in my FTP. It seems like Windows hosting doesn’t utilize .htaccess?
http://redwoodmedia.biz is the parent hosting account (if that’s what it’s called). I have a couple sites using the http://redwoodmediabiz hosting account, including http://redwoodpropertymanagement.net. That site is on wp 3.9.1 and fully functioning. http://rmgfund.com is on wp 3.9.2.
Godaddy said that it is redirecting to redwoodmedia.biz because it can’t find rmgfund.com/security.
Hey there
Is mgfund.com/security a post, page, or subsite in a Multisite network? I have never seen a setup where a page not found (404) gets sent to a main parent site (redwoodmedia.biz) unless you are using a plugin such as 404 to start.
If its a page, do you still see the page in the WordPress backend with that slug?
Hi,
/security is a page, and I can access and edit in my WP dashboard.
I’ve never loaded a 404 redirect plugin, but Godaddy support seemed to think the behavior was normal with my hosting setup. Maybe there is a 404 redirect on Godaddy’s end? Can I look in the FTP for that?
Turns out there is an .htaccess file in my webroot. Here it is:
#Made Multi-Site with Multi-Site Enabler 1.5#
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
OK thanks. That looks normal. Have you tried disabling all plugins? That would be my next suggestion to see if a plugin could be causing the interference. Let me know!
Thanks for the tip. Deactivated all plugins. Home page is ok, but security page still won’t load :/
Switched to default theme, and the problem was still there… Not sure what else to try.
Hmm sorry to hear that it didn’t work. Can you try adding a new page and also title it “security”? WordPress should then call the slug “security-2” and I would like to see if this page would work.
That worked! Still have the ugly page id (http://rmgfund.com/?page_id=186), but at least it’s working. I’ll try changing the permalinks again, but I think that will mess up everything again.
Very cool. I would recommend trying to change to “Post Name” as the permalink structure. This should work and if it doesn’t I suppose you could always revert to default again.
Changing permalinks to Post Name broke it again, but it is working in default mode.
Still on a search to get better permalinks…
That is strange. I am not familiar with windows servers but I did some research and from what I see they don’t really use the standard .htaccess file. I would contact your host again and beg them to figure out why permanlinks don’t work. Hopefully someone else here on the forum might have more experience with them.
Thanks so much for your help! I’m glad it’s at least functioning right now.
I’ll contact my host again and hope for a few more suggestions here.
