Everything is disconnected

Reset the permalinks.

Go to the admin section, then permalinks (on the bottom left), check what they currently are (example: custom: /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/), make a note of it, then choose the first option (default) and click save.

Then, once the menu loads again, change the permalinks back to the setting you just noted (custom – as exampled above) and save again.

It’ll take a little time, but your posts should work then

I received a suggestion and changed the custom permalink. Now it says to update the .httaccess. How do I do that?

According to news reports and other sources, a number of web-hosts are now under DDoS or similar attack, while others are busy setting up security measures. Who hosts your site?

IPage. They admitted the potential “attack” and reported that the problem was fixed, but in the process they apparently changed the URL to my site. Now I can’t figure out how to get everything connected again.

They shouldn’t have changed anything to do with your permalinks as that’s done via the database/wordpress admin panel

But they did. So now what?

How do your permalinks read now? CHeck the permalink option in wordpress

Hold on this – dinner calls – will reply tomorrow.

Never mind – it appears that IPage fixed all the links.

Glad to know that your links are fixed by your host!
