i did not get redirected to what you posted .. but i do know from a most recent experience of a WP install for someone at GODADDY .. they were on a MS plan and had to switched over to LINUX … are you sure this server of yours has PHP and MySQL?

just make sure ..

if so .. maybe just try uploading it again since it comes up PAGE NOT FOUND ..

Yes seekdotnet.com does have php and mysql. The database I created was a MySql database.

I got the same page when I try to log on, the url I posted in the initial post was the url of the error page.

Thanks for looking out.

I desperately need help here guys. Me and my girlfriend’s anniversary is in 2 weeks and I’m making this website to surprise her.

HELP!

-Jay

It seems you messed up the two URIs in the Options > General.
Or there is something wrong with how your subdomain is set up.
The blog wants to go to https://blog.simonandcrystal.com/blog
If you have access to phpMyadmin, use this guide to set the correct values for site_url and home:
https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/

Before that you could tell us where exactly is your WP installed?

I think we’re on the right track on solving my problem here.

Here’s some information on my site.

The WordPress files were uploaded to simonandcrystal.com\public_html\blog and I have a virtual sub-domain of blog.simonandcrystal.com.

Thanks for any help.

-Jay

The url blog.simonandcrystal.com does bring me to the blog page.

The problem seems to be that all the links on the blog page are trying to point to blog.simonandcrystal.com/blog/<file_name>, which doesn’t exsist because the directory on the server with all the WP files is simonandcrystal.com/public_html/blog.

How do I update this in WP so it’ll work?

Thanks!

-Jay

WP “hates” these fake subdomains which redirect to a real subfolder. Everybody has problems with them.
You can try one thing: to set the two values differently – following the guide I linked above.
site_url should be where your WP files are located and
home should be where you want to see the blog.

Thanks Moshu, I’ll try that out.

-Jay

If it doesn’t work – then I am afraid you have to give up the subdomain idea, at least until you get hosted on a server that allows real subdomains.

Mushu, first of all, I want to thank you and everyone else that helped me on this. EVERYTHING WORKS NOW!

Mushu’s link did the trick. I changed both the home and siteURL to blog.simonandcrystal.com and now it works like a charm.

Thanks a bunch.

-Jay

Great, I am glad it worked for you. Happy blogging!
(btw, it’s O, mOshu ??
