    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. 🙂

    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 500

    here’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” folder

    my 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 500

    I 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 500

    OK I think you might mean change the file extension name from php to ph1 ….
    is that right?

    Thread Starter redwren

    (@redwren)

    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!

    thank you
