login required to see website as a public!!

There’s no built-in feature/option that would lock down a site like that. Can you give a link to the site?

Looks like you have a redirect – directing all the traffic to your site to your admin login.

Try renaming your .htaccess file to something else and see if that fixes it

There’s a re-direct set up in there somewhere. Have you contacted your hosting company? What is your site URL and home set to in WP?

There’s nothing in the core WP code that would re-direct the site like this. What are your site URLs and HOME in the WordPress Dashboard?

That’s correct. Well, at this point I’m at a loss. There’s nothing in WP core that would redirect the site like that, especially with a default installation. I’m willing to bet it’s got something to do with the server.

See if this forum link helps you

Yes, try and re-install it. Looks like your removing or moving files b/c I get the 404s as well
