• Hi guys,

    I’m sure this is just me missing something simple, but hopefully someone can help.

    I built a site using a domain reference with my hosting provider, then once ready to switch to the new site, I transferred the domain. This mean’t the old site could remain live with the old hoster, until my site was ready.

    Prior to ‘going live’, I had to access the site via a temporary address:

    http://217.199.187.57/thenationalfootballcollection.org.uk/

    Once the site went live and I transferred the domain name & changed it to point at my server, I changed the site address (but not WP address) to http://www.thenationalfootballcollection.org.uk, and the home page worked fine and I was also able to access the admin panel, but not any sub pages on the website itself. They generated an internal server error.

    Am sure it’s a .htaccess issue, but as WordPress normally writes this for you, it means you never really learn what to do when things go wrong. So i’m a bit clueless with it I’m ashamed to say…

    What do i need to do in order to have all sub pages accessible from http://www. instead of http://217.199.187.57/

    Thanks everyone.

    Rich

    Hi Esmi,

    I can still access the site & admin panel at the moment including the general settings page.

    Is there something I can do from this page?

    From what I understand on the Changing_The_Site_URL the four methods are for when the site is not accessible, in order to get it running again.

    Thanks

    Please follow one of the methods outlined in the page I linked to above.
