# Index.php

 *  Resolved [twhitson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twhitson/)

 * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/indexphp-6/)
 * I have XO Communications. They offer version 2.3.3, I decided to upgrade to 2.9.2.
   I did step updates from 2.3.3 to 2.5.1, 2.6.5 and 2.7.1. At 2.7.1 it offered 
   an automatic upgrade to 2.9.2, I let it do it.
 * I can login to the Dashboard and edit my posts, and view them via the Dashboard.
   However, once I try to link to the blog on my xxx.com/wordpress directory it 
   kicks me back to the xxx.com root directory and my main page. It’s almost like
   my index.php was not updated or something.
 * I’ve read quite a bit through the forum and hadn’t found anything to fix this.
   Here is a copy of some of the php files in my /wordpress subdirectory:
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68664).
   Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/)]_
 * Thank you for any help,
 * tim

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

 * That didn’t work, I just tried both. One problem I have is XO will not allow 
   me to switch my htaccess CHMOD to 666 because they use Virtual Dedicated Environment(
   VDE) instead of a pure UNIX® system.
 * It will display at this link though:
 * [http://www.foolsquarter.com/wordpress/?cat=8](http://www.foolsquarter.com/wordpress/?cat=8)
 * But not at [http://www.foolsquarter.com/wordpress](http://www.foolsquarter.com/wordpress)
 * I’m tempted to uninstall the 2.9.2 version, go back to 2.3.3 from XO and try 
   it again paying close attention when it either stops working or not. I like the
   theme support for 2.9.2.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Post a copy of your htaccess perhaps?
 * Maybe there’s a `/index.php` rewriterule that needs to be `/wordpress/index.php`…?

 * As you can see above I got in trouble for pasting them before. Basically all 
   that is in my htaccess is one line: “ForceNoProxy On”. I can’t change the CHMOD.
   I believe I’ve tried the rewrite in the functions.php and it did not work.

 * Fair enough. Small pieces of code in between backticks are usually fine. Its 
   when there’s huge chunks/pages and pages of it, things get messy and it’s just
   easier to read at pastebin.
 * Anyway, in that case, have a read of this thread:

 * Thank you Alism. I used the “Disable Canonical URL Redirection” plugin and it
   worked. I tried it before and it didn’t work but this time it did. Who knows 
   maybe it was the many times I altered things and the planets aligned to make 
   it work right. Sometimes it’s best to not question how things work, it’s best
   to just be happy.
 * Thanks again for the link to the thread. It was a lot of reading but in the end
   it got me to retry the plugin.
 * Tim
