Most are just a small box with a tiny icon in the upper left corner. However, manually forcing “[http://”](http://”); in _some_ browsers makes the site work properly. Anyone visiting my site will see a large expanse of grey where an image should be but mysteriously when scrolling down other will be visible. All other images on the site are blank when using“ [https://”](https://”);. * #Stop Press:## Bad news – I cannot log into the WordPress admin panel nor into C Panel. The former tells me it isn’t redirecting properly and the latter tells me the “login is invalid”. * It is one of those days and panic is beginning to set in!

I converted all 490 of them to static html pages and adding the following to the .htaccess file it all worked like a dream. * RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ID=([0- 9]+) [NC] RewriteRule (.*) /{folder}/{filename-%1.html? [R=301,L] * domain/file?ID={number} redirected to domain/folder/file-{number}.html * Now suddenly this has stopped working and all incoming calls to the original URLs are being sent to the WP 404 page. * I’ve tried several different rules in the .htaccess file, including just testing a single file redirect not no joy. Does the coexistence with WP cause a problem or is the QuerySting “ID” conflicting with WP internally? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Static to WP migration – good but getting 404s](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/static-to-wp-migration-good-but-getting-404s/) * Thread Starter [nigelpt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nigelpt/) * (@nigelpt) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/static-to-wp-migration-good-but-getting-404s/#post-13336164) * I’ll disable all caching and CDN, clear all local browser[s] caches and see if that makes any difference. * I’m at the ‘pushing the eyes back in with a stick’ stage so will have some sleep and come back with a clear[er] mind tomorrow.
