Files missing from server – but i see in wordpress – HELP!

  • My website, https://surfcitysurfdog.com/ is all of a sudden missing from my Godaddy File Manager. My backup is nonexistent and Godaddy says that it must be wordpress problem. The home page works, but all other pages are coming up with the “404 (Page Not Found) Error”I can see the pages of my website on the wordpress dashboard with content – how do i upload them to go daddy. Or how can i find out what plug-in did tho this or is there a way to get my files back????

    Please help!

    Thanks!

  • Try going to Admin page / Settings / Permalinks, set to default then Save Changes. If this gets the site working, change the permalink setting back to what it was.

    Oops – spoke too quickly. I worked, and then when i changed it back – again 404 not found. How do I fix the root of the problem?

    Thank you!

    Switch back to default permalinks and take a backup while you can!

    I think your theme is ColorWay version 2.1.6 but ColorWay is now up to version 3.0 so you should consider updating. This may not solve the problem but it is the next step.

    If not, please advise if you are using Apache hosting. If so, go to the root of your WordPress install using FTP or your host’s file manager. Look for a hidden file called .htaccess. Rename it to disable it for now. Make a new empty .htaccess and set file permissions to 644. Then try again to change your permalinks.
