Permalink issue due to move – help request
-
In need of some assistance.
I developed a site for a buddy and created under my domain first. My site is on godaddy, FWIW.
eg: https://artbymichaelking.com/bikram (site not there anymore)
Everything was created and functional. I had permalinks structure as /%postname%/ and it all worked smoothly.
I moved the blog to https://bikramhotyoga.ca/ (hosted on Easyhost)given the instructions in the WP CODEX. Everything transfered fine and the site is working using default permalink structure (https://bikramhotyoga.ca/?p=123)
When I change the permalink to https://bikramhotyoga.ca/%postname%/ and hit update, it tells me it is successfull, BUT when I try to navigate the site I get a 404 Forbidden access message.
Note that it was created in a sub directory /bikram/ but when moved it was placed in the root directory.
I am hoping one of you experts can help me out.
All I want to do is have the permalinks set at https://bikramhotyoga.ca/%postname%/ so I can better track the page hits in google analytics.
My index.php is:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>.htaccess is in the root directory and reads:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress
