WP won't find my pages…

  • Hi and thanks for looking.

    I have had a customer’s WP site working fine for quite some time but got hacked and my server company shut me down. I went to a dedicated IP and scrubbed out all the malware…they reinstated me but since then my WP sites are driving me nuts. Here is an example:

    https://www.alignbodyworks.com

    Her presentation page works fine but the other pages aren’t coming up off the menu when you visit the site with a browser. I checked the database and page content is still there, and I can access the page content via the “pages” tab of the dashboard, but when I click “view page” I get a 404 “[page not found]” error, just like one sees when visiting the site with a browser.

    I upgraded to version 3.5 hoping that would fix the problem, thinking the shutdown and migration to a dedicated IP may have broken the WP somehow – which it obviously did, but upgrading WP didn’t fix the problem. The permalinks of the pages match the URLs of the links in the menu. I also tried switching themes to see if the theme I’m using (Mantra) got broken somehow – no joy there either, it still doesn’t work.

    Any suggestions? ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

  • All of the links are like this:

    <li class=”page_item page-item-125″ jQuery18303225996123528474=”41″>

    Note sure why jQuery18303225996123528474=”##” is there…

    Try deactivating all plugins, switching to default theme, contacting host to make sure the minimum requirements are being met (PHP, MySQL, jQuery, etc… etc…)

    Hi Thanks for the help but I don’t see the code you are referring to… It doesn’t appear in the code of the presentation page (that I can find) nor in the command line of the error page when you get the 404 message. Where did you find it?

    Is this something the malware might have inserted?

    also I’m pretty sure the host’s setup is fine in terms of versions of PHP, MySQL etc as I have other WP sites on the same host that work fine.

    It is in the source code…

    Just a long-shot here, but you didn’t mention if you’ve tried refreshing/resetting your permalinks since you moved the files.

    Make sure .htaccess is writable to WordPress, then either try a permalink refresh or try temporarily changing to the default structure and see if the behavior changes.

    Hey Clayton THANK YOU for mentioning that. It WAS the permalinks. I didn’t know about needing to do that! I guess I’m still a noob after all!

    thanks to you both I really appreciate it.

    You’re welcome! It happens from time to time.
