404 on home page only

    I get a ” 404 – Sorry! Page not found.” error message on my Home Page.
    All the other pages and entries work fine

    My Host installed WordPress in a different folder named “/blog”
    I didn’t want that word in the URLs, so I followed these instructions
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
    (Below using a pre-existing sudirectory install)

    The home page worked fine before that change.

    It doesn’t matter if I choose LAST ENTRIES or STATIC PAGE in the READING options, the Home Page doesn’t work anyway.

    Any ideas, please????

    Hi there,

    If you are just setting this up for the first time, that is, creating a brand new installation, I think I would start over, just not from the very beginning. If you move the WordPress files and folders in to the subdirectory that you want, let’s call it ‘/newblog’, you can delete the wp-config and rerun your installation process.

    Pali:
    Thanks for answering my post 🙂
    I’m not creating a new installation, my website was already installed in a subdirectory and not the root. That would be the second case explained in the link I posted (Using a pre-existing sudirectory install).
    My website has been running for a couple of years, it has many pages and entries and lots and lots of files. Starting over is not and option.
