I restored the old version that I deleted, and now it works again. * The only problem I’m now having, is that the redirect to my new 404.html is not working. * I added ErrorDocument 404 /404.html all the way at the end of the htaccess file, but it doesn’t accept it. It goes to the 404 of the old blog’s installation. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Link to old blog no longer works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-to-old-blog-no-longer-works/) * Thread Starter [marinuse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marinuse/) * (@marinuse) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-to-old-blog-no-longer-works/#post-6182078) * 😀 The old .htaccess was replaced when I switched to the new config. * So here’s the story. * I took over with WordPress installed in the root. I left everything of the old WordPress in the root, built a new website of which the files are also in the root, and a separate blog which I installed in camiguin.ph/blog. * The new website is running from index.html (and the index.php from the old blog is still in the root). I made a link from the new blog to the old blog which I called archives. That link used to work. Then a week or two ago I updated to WP4.2.2. I didn’t check all the links, but yesterday I got a mail from someone who tried to access the archives and got the 404. * So the weird thing to me is that I can’t find the db file with the content of the old blog on the server (it’s supposed to be in the themes folder, right?). But when I log in to the old dashboard, I can still see the posts, and edit them. But when I click View post or the permalink, it returns the 404 again. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Link to old blog no longer works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-to-old-blog-no-longer-works/) * Thread Starter [marinuse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marinuse/) * (@marinuse) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-to-old-blog-no-longer-works/#post-6182035) * I can access the posts via the dashboard. Can edit them and all that, but when I click view, the permalink doesn’t work anymore. Everything is there, it just won’t open the pages in the browser. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Link to old blog no longer works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-to-old-blog-no-longer-works/) * Thread Starter [marinuse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marinuse/) * (@marinuse) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/link-to-old-blog-no-longer-works/#post-6182029) * I know where the old stuff “should” be, but it isn’t there anymore in my FTP/ file manager. As I stated in my message, the old link did work, but it stopped working, after I updated to WordPress 4.2.2. It’s not in /oldblog. The link to the old blog is in the link in the navigation on the new blog. THAT particular link is not working anymore for some reason. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Relinking images after domain / provider transfer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/relinking-images-after-domain-provider-transfer/) * Thread Starter [marinuse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marinuse/) * (@marinuse) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/relinking-images-after-domain-provider-transfer/#post-4732695) * Anyone? 🙁 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Problems logging in to dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-logging-in-to-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [marinuse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marinuse/) * (@marinuse) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-logging-in-to-dashboard/#post-4721096) * Done, thanks for the heads-up.

Ginfo, thanks for your help. Starting over indeed was the quickest way to solve it. Deleted everything and reinstalled. Now it’s working. * Check for the next “problem” in my next post 😀 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Problems logging in to dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-logging-in-to-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [marinuse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marinuse/) * (@marinuse) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-logging-in-to-dashboard/#post-4721039) * Thanks for your reply. I tried the above, and as soon as I change the wp-config I get an error message that there was an “Error establishing a connection with the database” (even if I wait for awhile and refresh). As soon as I change back the wp-config to its original file, it loads again. I found the username and password from the wp-config file, but when I enter that information it won’t let me in. * As far as I know the info in the wp-config is correct, my only problem was that I couldn’t login to the WP dashboard and with the information from the wp-config I thought that would be solved, but apparently it isn’t… Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total)
