Found the solution from a post two years ago – Samual B posted the solution as follows!!
The .htaccess files couldn’t be seen in cpanel/file manager, so I did it through filezilla- located ht.access/ highlighted it and selected edit with notepad/ add the text to the bottom of ht.access and click save, another box pops up to say do you want to over write existing, select yes and job done.
All is running again!!
I have paid for my Hosts back up facility, basically it automatically backs up all websites so you can restore to many points!
I know we can manually download backups and restore but I have done that and it took me over two weeks to solve all issues, it costs £28 a year! So think is well worth it if it does what it says on the tin!
Thanks Samual B/MOD and hope this is of help to someone else!!

just add the rules
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
to the root .htaccess after the other stuff

Hello, My main page is loading but none of the content is found through the links.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
Those are getting this error

The requested URL /orchid-growing-guides/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Many thanks for that Marvel Labs, I will give that a go and report back, hopefully I will also mark as resolved if it works.

Regards
Keith

Hello Dyrer, Yes, there is a wp-config.php file and the DB values added.
This is my website file path, it just keeps redirecting here even though my webfiles are uploaded and database has no errors. I think my web guy may have tried a work around, hence the wp-admin/install.php file was not found. When this was found the WP install page loads.

The requested URL /wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Head against a brick wall situation now as my Host have said it is a third party issue and my install looks good.

The only thing that really has changed is that my website now is not a primary domain and is a add on domain at my Host, Hostpapa.
Is WP trying to load my primary thus not finding my add on domain?

Really appreciate anyone giving advice here, I am desperate to get the site back up and concentrate on more important things…
