Support » Fixing WordPress » Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

  • Hi all, my site (boths front-end and admin area) is totally messed up and I’ve tried everything! The site was working fine until recently but now it looks like both Js & Css problems are preventing it from loading. The site address is Harrow Direct.

    Here’s some basic setup info:
    – Multisite with 4 sub sites.
    – W3 Total Cache and Bulletproof Security installed.
    – Centos/Litespeed VPS.

    What I’ve done with no results so far is,
    – Switched to Twenty Fourteen.
    – Deactivated BulletProof Security (BPS).
    – Disabled Minify on W3TC.
    – Deleted both W3TC and BPS.
    – Reinstalled WordPress and repeated the above steps.

    Still no luck. If anyone out there could help then it would make my day since it’s a Live site.

    Kind regards,
    Dee

  • Use FTP or your web host control file manager:
    Download your root htaccess file and delete any W3TC htaccess code in your root .htaccess file.
    Download your wp-config.php file and comment out any W3TC code in your wp-config.php file.
    Upload your root htaccess file and wp-config.php file back to your website.
    Is your website displaying normally?

    If you wonder how should the default .htaccess file looks like, please check the lines below:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Hi all,

    Yes thanks, got it sorted. It seems that the minify functionality of w3TC was causing the problems.

    Cheers,

    Yep, minification is a very tough thing to automate in a “one-size fits all” kind of way. I believe that all plugins that do minification have tools/options that allow you to exclude certain files/scripts from being minified.
