• HELP: after a backup client website is redirected to another site

    Hello, our client website https://www.marcon-construction.co.uk was displaying an error, so in an attempt to fix this I restored a backup from 3rd June 2022 (11 days ago) – restoring the plugins, themes and database.

    However, since doing that I can no longer access the Marcon construction site- I don’t know what is happening, it seems like it doesn’t exist anymore. all pages including the /wp-admin login page redirect to this site: https://advancedservicecentre.co.uk/

    I don’t know what happened or how to fix this without having access to the backend of the site…

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Check .htacess file located in server’s root folder. There must be some redirection option link given. You can also ask server support if not found issue.

    what file would i find this in?
    for reference we use 1on1 IONOS server…

    @jadebartholomew

    Above code showing same that your site is redirecting to another website. Can you share .htaccess file code here in root folder ?

    If you have any redirection plugin added in site can you rename that folder after taking backup from server ?

    Ask to server support if still not find any solution.

    Thanks
