 * I have been beating my head against a wall and just cannot figure this out so
   I am hoping someone can. I am using WordPress 3.8.1
 * When using YSlow (with Chrome and/or Firefox), I receive a 404 error on three
   jquery files:
 * [http://mysite.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core.min.js](http://mysite.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core.min.js)?
   
   [http://mysite.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js](http://mysite.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js)?
   [http://mysite.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js](http://mysite.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js)
 * I have checked in the file directory and those files do exist.
 * I have the same EXACT website duplicated on a sandbox domain and I am NOT getting
   the 404 error on those file when using Yslow. Now, when I say exact, I mean the
   version of WP, the theme, plugins and database. The only difference in the database
   is the URL of the site.
 * I had hoped to duplicate the error in my sandbox domain so I could possibly figure
   out what is going on but there is no error there.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks much!

 * Never mind, I figured it out. I will put the fix for my instance in case anyone
   else ever comes across.
 * I finally realized there was an .htaccess in the wp-includes directory that I
   had put there awhile back to help prevent directory browsing. I simply removed
   it and that fixed the issue.
