What’s in your .htaccess?
Does the 404 look like the THEME or a generic server error?
What happens if you go to totallyfakemadeup.example.com subdomain for your site?
I go to ‘digitalgooru.com’ to get to my main site and it opens up just fine. From inside that sites dashboard I go to ‘my sites’ and from the list of sites there I click on one of my new sites and get what looks like an ad for Bluehost with my domain name listed only i.e. digitalgooru.com. If I enter a different web name of any kind into the address bar of my browser i.e. fake.digitalgooru.com I get the same ad graphic. Its like the sub domain is not even there. Just a graphic from Bluehost that says
‘Bluehost Affordable, Reliable
Web Hosting Solutions Web Hosting – courtesy of http://www.bluehost.com’
then lists several types of services Bluehost offers.
The only subdomain I have in my root folder is the wildcard subdomain titled digitalgooru.com.
In my .htaccess folder:
# 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
Thanks for trying to help.

p.s. there is an ‘htaccess’ file in my wildcard subdomain as well and inside it there is:
# Use PHP5.4 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php
other notes:
sometimes when I try to go to one of my new sites I get a different message:
‘Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@digitalgooru.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.’
Finally, note that my wildcard subdomain folder is in the same folder as my wordpress installation folders i.e. ‘public_html’ folder.

If I enter a different web name of any kind into the address bar of my browser i.e. fake.digitalgooru.com I get the same ad graphic. Its like the sub domain is not even there. Just a graphic from Bluehost that says
Stop.
That’s what you messed up 🙂
p.s. there is an ‘htaccess’ file in my wildcard subdomain as well and inside it there is:
There should be no ‘wildcard subdomain’ folder. Delete it. Make sure the ‘home’ location for your wildcard, in BlueHost’s panel, is /public_html/
Ask them for help if you don’t understand how to change that.
