This website's Blog Page Post Entries Send user to Home Page… ?

  • Hello. The website is https://www.whoaga.com. The culprit page is the blog: https://www.whoaga.com/whoa-ga-blog/

    So whenever you click into a post to view it, it sends you to the home page of the site (which is a static page, being used for the home page instead of the blog page by default):https://www.whoaga.com/

    Even when making the post, I can’t even preview the blog post before publishing… previewing also sends you to the home page.

    This obviously isn’t correct, is the wordpress installation broken? Or is the template “Travelblogger” messed up?

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    i turned off all the plugins and I found that I was able to enter the previous older posts, but the newest post still sends you to the home page. I tried changing the theme to 2011, but got the same effect. I didn’t try resetting the plugins folder though… will that erase all my plugins and their settings?

    It shouldn’t do.

    would you recommend downloading phpmyadmin? or is resetting via FTP just as good? FTP method seems simpler.

    You don’t download Phpmyadmin. Your hosts provide access to it. But for now, just try the FTP method.

    so I just reset the plugins folder and no change. I’ve tested this current theme in another site, and the blog page works just fine. another thing I have noticed is that the comments form for the blog posts is missing on this installation, as opposed to the other website where I tested a clean installation.

    So is my solution to reinstall wordpress for this site? The other themes are doing the same thing in regards to the blog page.

    Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting via Settings -> Permalinks and renaming your WordPress .htaccess file. If this works, then set a custom permalink structure back up again.

    hey that actually worked! I have a new problem now though. don’t know if I should start a new thread for it. but the video embed code i use from youtube, will not show up in the post when published or previewed. The actual url/embed code does disappear, but for nothing. The same embed code works just fine on a ‘page’. What should I do to make it work in a post?
