Pages made but 404 error on site (7 posts)

    No problem installing or creating pages or doing anything from the dashboard. However, I get either a 404 error or a Blue Host generic no site page when I try to view. Checked my file folders and there is no index.html file anywhere. Nor can I find any of my pages (at least by the names I gave them) in searching C-panel folders.
    Checked the folder for WordPress install (version 3.3.2), which is mydomain.com/wordpress

    In Settings > General in your WordPress admin, what do you have the "WordPress address (URL)" and "Site address (URL)" options set to?

    You will not find any html pages in files and folders in wordpress as wordpress is a php based and pages are created by wordpress as requested on server and sent to browser in html form.

    post your url so we can see why you getting error.

    Have you followed the instructions here? They describe how to successfully run WordPress in a subdirectory, which sounds like what you're trying to do.

    The WordPress URL is set to http://www.mydomain.com/wordpress
    My site address is set to http://www.mydomain.com

    From the urls seems as if you using wordpress from directory did you reset your permalinks,

    In admin panel click on settings>>>>Permalinks select default settings and save see if your pages open if they do then
    select custom structure and save.

    My url is http://www.thegeorgiateaparty.com
    The reason I mentioned index.html is that someone stated that as as problem in another post - I didn't upload any html files - just copied and pasted from Word documents.
    I went to the Permalinks page and set to default, saved, but the pages would still not open. I reset the Permalinks to post pages.
    I searched my folders for index.php but there are 11 of them in different folders - very confused on what belongs where or what is missing!
    /public_html/wordpress/
    /public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/
    /public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/user/
    /public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/network
    /public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/
    /public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/[themename]
    /public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
    One last thing to note: I transferred the domains from another server yesterday. On the old server, the primary domain was thegeorgiateaparty.org with thegeorgiateaparty.com pointing to the primary. When setting up Blue Host, I set the primary to the .com site and pointing the .org to it. The thought was that I could get the new host set up before disturbing the old. Just wondering if all this plays a role in the problem.
