Site Domain Issue with WP

  • Hello,

    Having an issue I’m not sure how to solve and need help. I created a wordpress site for a client. While in development (prior to switching the DNS for their domain), I created the site using the format https://66.7.217.94/~maustont for their site’s url in WP’s general settings. I could navigate the site and test everything just fine with that url. Once we went live with the site and changed the DNS, I changed the url in the general settings from the above to https://www.maustontool.com

    Problem is, the site’s not working now. It gives me an error something like “input file not found”…

    Anyone know what’s causing this and how to fix? Thank you!

    Jarrod

  • I see the site just fine in IE9.

    Try clearing your browser cache. It’s fine for me too — Firefox on a Mac.

    I need to rephrase. I do see the site just fine. However, when I view the subpages, the url in the address bar does not change. That’s one issue.

    Main issue: when I try to access my admin page at https://www.maustontool.com/wp-admin, it doesn’t do anything…probably because the domain in the general settings of my admin area is set to the IP address. Yet, if I change that to the actual domain, then I get the error I mentioned and my site doesn’t display correctly at all.

    followup: you’ll notice on the homepage for example, that if you hover over one of the links in the top nav, the link address is using the IP address instead of the domain name. I’d like it to use the domain name, yet when I change this in the general settings tab in the WP Admin area, it all stops working…I can no longer access my wp admin area until I’ve gone into PHPMyAdmin and manually changed the domain back to the IP in the database itself.

    Actually wp-admin has code which includes, <p>Please visit our site at <a href="https://66.7.217.94/~maustont/wp-admin">https://66.7.217.94/~maustont/wp-admin</a>.</p>

    Did you change nameservers, url? It can take 24 hours or more to propagate. Are you running some redirect and/or an index.html file?

    I don’t have access to my client’s domain registry to be able to update the DNS myself, so I instructed them to simply update their previous nameservers to the nameservers for my server they’re now hosted on. Far as I know, there’s no redirect of any sort setup other than https://www.maustontool.com should be loading index.php as the homepage by default, which it seems to be doing fine. Main thing is I don’t know what to tell my client as far as checking or updating their DNS if they did something wrong in the nameserver change. ?? They made the nameserver switch a while ago now so it’s not a propagation issue, I’m sure of that at least.

    The code I was referring to is still there in checking your headers. I posted it here, https://pastebin.com/QsqGzUq8 I am pretty sure that is not correct.

    Also sucuri.net show no javascripts running which can’t be with a proper wp site. https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/https://www.maustontool.com

    I am not much help, sorry. Something is effecting the headers. Have you disabled all plugins and tried it?

    hadn’t tried disabling all plugins…

    will check on the javascript thing

    the link to the code windows: I see two windows with what looks to be identical code in each. Is there a difference? Not sure what I might try with this.

    Thanks,

    Is there a difference?

    No, one is numbered and the other is not. This was only to show what your header was made up of.
