Full website visible only to logged in users. For public pages redirect to home.

  • I have no membership or private pages setup.

    When I am logged in, I can view my site and all its pages perfectly.

    The general public can see my homepage, but clicking on any menu links redirects them back to the home page.

    The website was built using a temporary address (IP not domain) before the domain nameservers were forwarded.

    When we were ready to go live, we replaced all references to the temp IP address in the database from https://ipaddress to https://website.com

    Clearly something went wrong.

    The pages all exist.

    If I had to guess I would say something related to permissions or users has gone screwy.

    But I have no idea where to look to fix this.

    Help?

  • Might be a cache issue. Do you have a cache plugin installed?

    No this isn’t caching.

    If I’m on the same machine and I log out of wordpress admin, I won’t be able to see anything except the homepage. There’s a redirect happening.

    Same goes for other browsers, other users, even people who’ve never visited the website before.

    There seems to be a reference to the site host that I’ve screwed up.

    I used a Search and Replace plugin to find the IP address and replace it with the domain name, and I can’t ask for support there because the plugin has been pulled.
