Oof. I had wound my brain up in circles I didn’t even think to check namecheap for instructions. That worked! Thank you!

Thanks for showing me that, however I see now that it was already set as my IP in cPanel. I read the directions again for creating a wildcard in cPanel and it sasys:

“Make a sub-domain named “*” (wildcard) at your CPanel (*.example.com). Make sure to point this at the same folder location where your wp-config.php file is located.”

Except the document root was automatically filled out as “_wildcard_.socrazyitcouldwork.com” Is this what the directions refer to when they say “point this at the same folder location where your wp-config.php file is located.”?

Also, here’s my .htaccess file, since that seems to be something everyone checks:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php parking-page.html

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

And wp-config.php file:

<?php

* Secret Keys, WordPress Language, and ABSPATH. You can find more information

I’m also getting an “update failed” after clicking “save and activate.” I’m not running any caching plugin.
