Major Problems

    Not sure if I can be helped here, or if this will even make sense. But hoping someone can point me in the direction of help.

    LunarPags is my host and I’m using WordPress integration to build my site. All my site’s pages are in WordPress. Right now, only the main page of my site is visible/working: http://www.primitivesquaremarketplace.com
    No other links or pages will work. I already contacted LP Support and they say they can’t help me unless it’s a “server or account issue,” which it’s not apparently. They referred me to LP forums, and a couple guys are trying to help me there, so far with no luck. I do not know if the problem is in WP or in LP. All I know is that I can log into my WP admin just fine and all my pages are visible and in tact there…just not on the actual site.

    My site was fine until Friday night…I’ve been building it for months and all pages worked fine until Friday. The last thing I did was to go into my cPanel at LP, then I decided to enable the Hotlink Prevention feature to check it out. I went to my site and all my images were showing as red x’s, so I figured using the hotlink prevention feature was NOT going to be a good idea until I knew more about it. So I went back into that feature and disabled it. Immediately after I did that I went back to my site and it was gone…error pages (404 not found, etc) only. LP said some of my permissions got changed (which I did not change) so they changed something and that got the main page to show, which is what shows now…but no other links or pages will work. LP does not seem to be able to help at all. So right now I have a nearly complete site that is pretty much useless. I can go into WP and add/edit/delete anything that is there, because everything is OK there. But none of it works on the site itself.

    So, my question is…if no one can help me fix this, is it possible to just get the site off of LunarPages and just use WP alone? Can that be done? Just seems odd to me that I can log into WP and all is fine, but my site does not work, so that makes it seem like LP is the problem, and not WP. I just don’t know what to do. Any ideas?

    If you look in the status bar when you hover over any of your links they are still pointing to the pages you created. My guess is that whatever you did with the Hotlink Prevention has altered your .htaccess file.

    Thanks, Chrisber…but what does that mean I should do? All I did was click on the link to enable the hotlink prevention. Then I went back and clicked on the link to disable it. Lots of folks are telling me that the problem is with my .htaccess file…but I have absolutely no clue at all how to fix that.

    Just as a follow up…a support person at LP did something related to .htaccess, which I believe is what enabled the main page of my site to show up. I went to look at the .htaccess file. It says it’s “Empty.” The LP help desk person who answered my ticket said she changed it to htaccess_old, and this is what is shown in that file:

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

    # END WordPress

    DirectoryIndex index.phpRewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://primitivesquaremarketplace.com/.*$ [NC]
