  • Have you looked at the .htaccess file?

    I tried typing it in directly and going from Google and got an error page. 404 might also indicate that you’ve changed your permalinks round either accidentally or on purpose

    What am I looking for in that file? Be specific please, I am new to this

    Hmm.

    If you’re new to this then I would start with the permalinks having been accidentally changed. From within the admin panel, click View site at the top of the page, and see where you get to. Try navigating around from there. If that’s okay, but it’s not okay when you try to access a page from google say, look at the urls and see what format they’re in.

    That said, you should still be able to access the index.php page.

    Can you paste what you have in the .htaccess file here?

    It appears I don’t have an .htaccess file.

    I tried to add one via ftp but when I do that I get a Sever 500 error… deleting it fixes that problem. I allowed all permissions as well.

    HELP PLEASE!

    anyone?

    I checked your site. The first time, the site loaded with posts. The second time, the theme loaded and in the content area, this appeared.

    Not Found

    Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.

    If you search your theme’s “index.php” file, I think you’ll find the “Sorry, but you…” line at the bottom after an “else” statement.

    So, it appears that your WP install is (1) connecting to your database properly; (2) loading the basic information [site address, name, theme]; (3) but not any posts or comments.

    This is stretching my expertise, but here goes… I think that your WP database could be damaged.

    First, backup your WP database: Backing Up Your Database and, if you can export your posts via the Admin interface, then do that, too.

    Second, switch to a default theme. If the problem persists, then this isn’t a problem with your theme.

    Third, try the instructions here – Repairing (WordPress) Database Tables. Then, empty your browser cache and try your site again.

    If that doesn’t work, redo your WP install – new database and so forth. Then restore your database (instructions are linked in the backing up page I linked to earlier).

    If you’re still having problems, then this could be a server issue.
