Thank you so much Jackie! I’m taking your advice and have another theme up now for the time being and will be looking into a premium theme.
Having this “thorn in my side” finally relsoved is a great start for my weekend. I hope your weekend is wonderful. 🙂Resolved!!
Hi Jackie! You’re my WordPress hero!
I now understand better what you mean about the probable problem being the theme, it being an older theme and not currently being updated — I’ll take your advice, and use another theme.
Thanks again (for this forum and to the WP ninjas here) and for your help, it’s been a pleasure and also restores my faith in WP. 🙂 🙂
Hi Jackie, 🙂
Still in the 2015 theme –I’m just checking out the issues I was having and they seem to be ok showing up now: site stats, previewing drafts ….I just checked file manager it looks like a new .htaccess file was generated. the “htaccess” file is there as well
here’s the code on the newly generated one, it is without the /is ( should I leave this new one?) :# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress
I’m not sure about what you mean about Softalicious… I’ve always upgraded from my wordpress dashboard… ( but I don’t quite know how the newer wp auto updates work?) I will go into Softalicious and make sure nothing is on auto upgrade.
I truly thought I’d never get back to this point…. it’s been a long time, and lots of frustration, and I can’t thank you enough, really. 🙂
Should I try switching back to my theme to see if it works (or could it cause a problem ) ? or, since you say the issue is likely with my theme should I not switch back and jsut use a different one?
Hi Jackie, I’ll go down your list;
in root renamed file to: htaccess
get: flavorsoflight.com is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500here’s the htaccess code:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /is
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress
As best I can tell my wp-content themes and plugins in the “/is ” are the actively used folders because the ” last modified” dates are the most current ie 2016…. ( the dup folders both themes and plugins are all 2013 dates)
just updated to the lasted version of twenty fifteen theme which I already had and I’m able to activate it! ( havent been able to do that before) lets see….
Looks like the site is working with the twenty fifteen theme!Yes, please do and thanks for your help 🙂 I’ll be around
just so you know, just in case… I have a complete backup of my site…
Hi Jackie,
I’ve gone down the list
done everything you said in the “root” foldermy index line now looks like this:
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) .’/is/wp-blog-header.php’ );
site gets this error:
flavorsoflight.com is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500I also tried with the period/dot before the apostrophe, as you had written. get the same error:
flavorsoflight.com is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500OK I think you might mean change the file extension name from php to ph1 ….
is that right?Ok Jackie, I’ll go through this list ( i have questions) :
Check — site url and WP url are OK
question — do you mean append or rename the php files in root to ph1?
question — require(‘./is/wp-blog-header.php’);
for some reason my site/host it seems I have to use ” …(.’/is…” I had tried changing it before to what you said as well as checked elsewhere on my test wp install and it’s also set up ” (.’/…..
I do it the way you say first.Jackie, so sorry for any confusion. Yes mysite.com/blog is for an example/pretend.
Yes, I totally understand (and my brain is smaller than your’s no doubt).
I’m confirming that the wp-content folder inside of the root folder is mostly empty. Sorry, I should have been more specific and said the”upgrade” is empty and “uploads” is empty itfolder has directories, years> month etc, but they are all empty. The other folders, themes, plugins,etc have contents. The “uploads” has content in the “is” subdirectory.
Yes, I’m certain that I originally had the index.php in the root as you said : ../is/wp-blog-header.php
Hi Jackie,
Yes, that is correct– that’s the sub-directory folder in my site root where I installed WP in.Hi Jackie,
Thanks for responding and the welcome 🙂Yes, I do know which database the site is using.
There is a wp-config.php both in the root: mysite.com and the subdirectory: mysite.com/blog. ( they appear to be exactly the same)Yes, I installed WP in 2013 to my site (which is an “add on domain”) using my host’s CPanel and Softalicious. I installed WP in the subdirectory “mysite.com/blog” and followed Codex instructions for that.
The site url is: flavorsoflight.com
(the site uses a wp.com theme that is customized)I have been keeping WP updated all along, so it’s up to date. I havn’t had any issues until that 4.0 update then after the issues appeared.
Check out my profile to see earlier history/help requests. I didn’t get anywhere with the issues then, and just survived without those functions mentioned… it’s only just recently I dug down to finally get things sorted out ( need to change my theme/ update my site) and found those extra wp files/folders on my host server and realize that could be part, or all of the issues….
Yes, about the frustration part! 🙂 but very happy to have help!
