# Page not loading after functions.php edit

 * Last night I was making some edits to the functions.php. In the end I got everything
   working fine and how I need it to. However, one of my pages [http://uprisingreview.com/stories](http://uprisingreview.com/stories)
   is coming back with a 500 error. However, it is working on a few browsers as 
   well as on mobile. I wondered it if was a theme issue, so I switched to Twenty
   Seventeen and still got the same error. On Firefox, the stories page is loading
   fine, but the homepage is not loading.
 * Update: www. url’s are all working fine. Any link that does not reroute to www
   is not loading.

 * Homepage is loading but completely blank. And /stories does load. Well, whatever
   you did to `functions.php` it wasn’t done properly.

 * Thanks genius! That much is fairly obvious. Although I essentially just reverted
   it to what I had in there before. Since the site is working fine on www I’m assuming
   it was an issue with an edit I was trying to make that messed up something. What
   is in there now was copied directly from the WordPress Codex.

 * Not sure exactly what happened during the function.php edit to mess up the “[http://example.com&#8221](http://example.com&#8221);
   but since “[http://www.example.com&#8221](http://www.example.com&#8221); was 
   working fine, I just added this code to my .htacccess so that it would just load
   the www version of the site. That might not be a textbook solution, but the site
   works.
 *     ```
       #Force www:
       RewriteEngine on
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
       ```
   
 * ***Be sure to change example to your site name.
