Your “homepage” has the contents
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://4x4.smith-it.co.uk">
Check via FTP. what files do you have in the root of your installation?
I don’t know from where it’s getting the REFRESH as originally I’d placed an index.htm in the root which I’ve since removed.
The current files are:
. htaccess
index. php
license_txt
@readme.html
wp-activate_php
wp-blog-header.php
Wp-comments-post.php
wp-config-sample. php
WP-config_ php
wp—cron.php
wp-links-opml.php
wp-load.php
wp-login.php
wp-mail. php
wp-settings.php
wp-signup_php
wp-trackback.php
xmlrpc.php
Please post the .htaccess file from that directory.
# 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
I’ve managed to fix this as there was a file called index.htm.old that contained the HTTP redirect.
I’ve removed this this file and now all is well.
Thanks for you help.
@smithgt This fixed my issue also. I had index.html.bak in my root of my wordpress install.
It was not a problem until very recently. It ran for years with that file there. It stopped working before I did any updates so that made it particularly odd.
Glad I found this and tried it before taking drastic measures. Saved me a lot of time. Thanks!
