greetings,
I created a website on and I installed WordPress. I was hoping the website would appear when I searched for the domain name I initially created, only to found that I had to add “/wp” at the end of the domain name for it to appear. I then went to general settings on my website and change the WordPress URL and I tried to delete ‘/wp’ and the page was redirected to error404.
I then followed these steps trying to solve the problem:
Go to phpMyAdmin and select the database for the website. Go to the “wp_options” table and edit the first option (option_name: siteurl) from “whatever” to “your site URL”.
In the same “wp_options” table, look for “option_name: home” and change the URL there too.
Now, rename your current .htaccess file to .htaccess_old and create a new blank .htaccess
Go to the URL and update the database when the system asks you to.
let’s see whether it helps you or not!
this helped with the home page, but I am still getting error 404 in the “about, blog and contact”
Please help
