WordPress site linking to Plesk homepage

    This is something that I cannot figure out right now.

    I recently had to change hosting, so I’ve done the following –

    1: Changed nameservers
    2: Reinstalled WordPress on new host
    3: Imported my WordPress backup

    Everything seems to have worked fine, yet any time I try and access my site, it displays a Plesk page instead. However when I access the site through /wp-admin, it works fine and I can access individual blogposts this way, yet the homepage keeps linking to Plesk.

    Any ideas?

    There is probably an index.html or home.html file in the same directory as the WordPress index.php file. Remove the index.html or home.html file, either via SFTP or FTP or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and all should be fine.

    If that doesn’t work, try adding this to the top of your .htaccess file:

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

    If that doesn’t work out, I recommend contacting your hosting provider, as they’ll have the access necessary to determine exactly what’s going on.

    I checked and I can’t find any index.html or home.html. However I did notice that there was an index.php in httpdocs and one in wp-admin. Both contain different information, with the latter containing much more than the former. Should there be two?

    Yes, there should be two. One is the index file that loads your site, the other is the index file that loads your Dashboard.

    At this point, I recommend contacting your hosting provider, as they’ll have the access necessary to determine exactly what’s going on.
