Site not found & being redirected to another site

  • Hi, I am not a technical web person so my description is not technical and I’d ask if any replies could be as if you’re speaking to a 2 year old please.

    My site is automatically redirecting to another site when I try to log in (I am building it) & when when trying to just view the site without logging in, I am getting a 404 message saying there is not such website.

    I checked with my host and they checked and said its not the plugins and they didn’t know what was wrong or why.

    The only thing I changed maybe 20 minutes because this started & do not know if its related or not, was I followed a WordPress security notice in the Dashboard that advised I should have Redis object cache. Since I am not technical, but it is a wordpress security advice I followed it and installed Redis. However, the hosting company in testing for what’s wrong disabled all plugins and said it wasn’t any plugins.

    So, I don’t know what to do and haven’t found any articles online about this.

    Thank you for any feedback, troubleshooting, or insight. I cannot access the dashboard at all, so can’t do anything there. Thank you. K

    Hi Nikhil, Thank you,

    The site isn’t live and has a maintenance page enabled for visitors (which is not being seen now). But its at https://www.kisayenatsuki.com. I normally login at kisayenatsuki.com/wp/admin.

    Thank you again:)

    Hi, I cant because inclusivity.com isn’t my website. Thats the website my site is being redirected to. Since its not my website, I cant login. My credentials don’t work on someone else’s website or gets me to my website. That’s the core of my problem.

    Okay, I see there is a 301 redirect on the website, you may check your .htaccess file which you will be able to locate within the website’s root directory.

    Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/M2v-uEQ0rrKc

    It should match the default WordPress .htaccess code if it’s a new WordPress setup.

    # BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

    When you see the error “site not found” or you are being redirected to another site, it typically means that the domain name you are trying to access cannot be found on the server. This can happen for a few different reasons:

    1. The website is down: The website may be experiencing technical difficulties, and the server is unable to connect to the site.
    2. The website no longer exists: The website may have been deleted or the domain name may have expired.
    3. Incorrect URL: The URL or domain name may have been typed incorrectly, and the server is unable to find the correct website.
    4. DNS issues: The domain name may not be properly configured or registered, and the server is unable to find the correct website.
    5. Hacking or Phishing Attempt: The website you are trying to access may have been hacked or compromised, and you are being redirected to a malicious site. In this case, it is important not to provide any personal information or login credentials on the new site.
    6. Malware: Your computer or device may be infected with malware which is redirecting you to a different site.

    The same problem I face in this site https://www.editorsmodapk.com when I start working on it and now you can see it is perfectly run. It is important to be careful when visiting unfamiliar websites, especially if you are being redirected from a site that you were trying to access. It is always a good idea to check the URL of the website you are visiting to ensure that it is the site you intended to visit, and to use anti-virus software to protect yourself from malware.
