    Hi there. Thanks in advance for help!

    My ISP assisted me in pointing my blog @ https://www.gypsybeauty.com/cosmetics/index.php to my domain name @ https://www.gypsybeauty.com/

    However, now some links go to the directory structure and some show inside my theme but 404 not found. I have no idea how to fix this and they don’t seem to want to answer request for help.

    I apologize for a nooblet question but I’ve tried everything I think might work. I am afraid I will do more damage than good at this point.

    Does anyone have any idea whats going on just by what I am offering above?

    Thank you whooami. I clicked “Update Permalink Structure” >> and then copied and pasted

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /cosmetics/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /cosmetics/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    to the .htaccess file then uploaded it.

    This did not seem to help.

    PS Who are you? ??

    That’s not the right way to do it.
    Ask back your money from that ISP smartguy who told you to do it.
    For both of you, here is some reading:

    Well, ok but I have another blog hosted by them that works fine set up the same way?

    I use their installer to put the WordPress blog on the server. I don’t really know enough to do it myself.

    Tell them to read the link I gave you… and also tell them to learn how to set index.php as a valid index file. On any decent server that is done out of the box. (yes, you can quote me on this)
