• I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to quell this problem prior to posting here. I have my fingers crossed, hoping someone can help.

    I am using the latest version of WP, but this happened prior to the upgrade.

    One day I went to my site – https://www.allknowingforce.com – and the home page got a 404 error. It loaded for a second and then disappeared. However, when I entered in the site like https://www.allknowingforce.com/wonderful, it works. Wonderful is the name of the directory in which WP is stored.

    I am unable to edit via General Options in the dashboard, because I added two lines to wp-config file, so the ability to change it there is grayed out.

    This is driving me nuts and I need all the help I can get. Please let me know if you need anything from me. I will respond immediately. Thank you.

  • Looks like it’s working to me?

    Works for me in Firefox. I haven’t got IE so I can’t tell you about that. Are you using the latest version of your browser? Have you cleared cache? Have you tried it in another browser or another computer?

    Thank you for the response.

    Are you using Firefox or Internet Explorer?

    In IE, I cannot get it to work.

    In FF, it works but (see below)…

    Also, the header is not present, nor are some of the other buttons. For instance, on the top left, is supposed to be an All Knowing Force banner, which is missing.

    The reply is appreciated.

    I began receiving messages from readers and show listeners a week or two ago. I didn’t touch anything within WP for this to have happened. Therefore, it’s safe to say it’s happening on multiple browsers and on multiple computers. I’ve done some trial-and-error myself and it doesn’t work perfectly on any computer.

    However…the home page LOADS in FF, but does NOT in IE. Also, when it loads in FF, certain things are missing, though.

    All caches were cleared.

    Please help. Thank you again.

    I use Chrome.

    I’m unsure why it isn’t working in all browsers, as there was NEVER a problem in the past.

    I’m using IE 8 and the home page loads for a split second and then get the 404 message.

    I’m also using the newest version of FF (beta) and the home page loads but some things are x’d out.

    However, everything works – on all browsers – as https://www.allknowingforce.com/wonderful .

    I’m so confused!

    Can anyone help?

    I notice an extra “/” on every adress on your page.

    https://allknowingforce.com/wonderful//
    https://allknowingforce.com/wonderful//articles/

    Does that give a clue?

    Good luck.

    I think you need to do this in wp-admin

    Settings > General
    WordPress address (URL)
    Site address (URL)

    looks like for both you have written
    https://allknowingforce.com/wonderful/

    change that to
    https://allknowingforce.com/wonderful

    and it will work fine

    @ Jack_NL

    I noticed that as well and tried to change it by editing some of the files, but the things I tried didn’t work.

    I am unable to do this there because the option to is “grayed out,” meaning I see entries there, but I’m not able to edit them.

    I DID edit this through the wp-config file, and when I added two lines, I never once regained the ability to edit through the location you mentioned.

    Ok, as you have added the 2 lines to wp-config file, you will need to open the wp-config file via your FTP and edit the Site URL & home url by simply removing the / in the end and it should work fine.

    As the values are via wp-config file you cannot edit via the method I have mentioned.

    define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://allknowingforce.com/wonderful');
    define('WP_HOME', 'https://allknowingforce.com/wonderful');

    I have made the changes in the wp-config file. A “/” does NOT appear at the end of either wonderful.

    In FF, the banner does not load and some images from the theme do not load. Maybe there is an issue in the header file?

    In IE, nothing has changed. When https://www.allknowingforce.com is typed into the browser, the site doesn’t load. When https://www.allknowingforce.com/wonderful is typed into the browser, the site loads perfectly and all the images that are missing in FF appear.

    Thank you for all your help, and I await your next reply.

    Ok can you do three things.

    1 Post the wp-config screen shot (remove the database logins / connections) just the screen to wp_siteurl.

    2. Post the screen shot of Settings > General

    3. Post the screen of the htaccess file

    Also is the site loaded under a sub directory? or is it the root directory?

    (@kalaka-district)

    I will be home much later tonight and will get this to you as soon as I walk in.

    Where do I find the htaccess file? I HAVE looked for it in the past, but could not find it.
