Thanks for the lesson on the root.

It’s fixed. A friend from Digital Point at it up and going in about five minutes. He went into the FTP and into my blog and replaced some files. I had deleted the administration file somehow.

Thank you for your assistance. Have a great weekend! ??

I have already re-uploaded the latest version of WordPress since this happened.

But as far as the rest of what you told me, I don’t know how to do any of it. I don’t know how to FTP to server, I don’t know what the root of my blog directory means or where to find it, or the root of the unzipped WP on my computer. I don’t know what the root is at all, the meaning of it or what to look for.

I can try re-uploading the new version of WP again. When it asks me what I want to do, replace, merge, etc, what do I say?

I have been using the FTP program for a year or so. I DO know a little bit, much more than you understand, actually, because I want to know, learning this stuff is interesting. That’s why it made me mad that someone thinks I don’t even know where to login to my blog on the site. I am not one of those people. I guess you could consider me a novice, but I even am learning how to hack, and successfully. That is what got me in trouble.

I am not upset, and I DO need help, but please don’t patronize. I am sincerely trying to GET this stuff.

Ok, in answer to your question Gangleri, I have had that theme for a long time, and I agree that the theme is not the problem. I am simply trying to figure out a way to get into the blog. Period. Forget everything else, or how it got that way, how do I get back in?

I use the FTP to upload everything to my blog’s files. When I couldn’t get into this particular blog I uploaded a new version of the theme, as I was told to do in the other thread, and replaced the function file with the new one. I thought that would do the trick, but it didn’t

I don’t understand why there would be no css. The css file is in the theme files in the FTP. I just went and looked to make sure.

Is there anyway that someone can look at my FTP? I mean, how do you let them?

“IF, on the other hand, you just cant find where you login, its in the right sidebar of your current theme. It says “login” and its right under the big Meta in your sidebar.”

you’re joking, right?

Kiss my ass.

Not Found

The requested URL https:// was not found on this server.

That is what I get. I never get the chance to login. The screen goes straight to this message when I access the URL

I did read your answer, but I don’t know how to change themes in the FTP and I also don’t know how to view my blog there. I am a green when it comes to all this stuff, but I am trying to learn.

I can’t login because I CAN’T ACCESS the administration section. Everything is find for the reader, which I DID say in my other thread, but when you try to go into the administration section, either by trying to edit a post, or by clicking on Site Admin, the screen says this.

Not Found

The requested URL https:// was not found on this server.

And I DID post the link to the blog in the other thread, and I DID elaborate, quite a bit. So you don’t have to be so facetious. All I am trying to do is get back into my blog and I thought maybe this was the place to learn how to.

Can I get some help here? I really am stumped. I can learn to do the redirect myself so forget about that. I just need someone to tell me how to get back into the administration section of my blog. The URL is https://internetmarketingreview.org/blog2. Everything looks fine to the readers but I can’t write, edit, etc. If you read this whole thread you will see that I have tried everything I and Jess could think of over a two day period.

I uploaded just the functions file of the theme to the FTP, replaced the functions file that was there, and still can’t get in to the administration section

HELP! There has GOT to be a way.

Thanks, Jess. You are great.

I will see if I can get it going.

I will work with the blog and see if I can get into it.

The reason I need to redirect my blogs on that domain name to a subdomain is that I have five of them with the same address, but they are numbered blog1, 2, 3, etc.

I do paid posting and this makes it look to the ranking tool that scans my blogs like they are duplicates. I reversed the addresses to have the blog1, 2, 3 etc at the beginning of the URL address instead of the end, which PPP approved and I will now get ranked.

BUT, here is the rub. When I write a post and publish it, the permalink comes back as the old address with the blog number at the end. So I won’t get the posts approved.

That is why I need to redirect the whole website, not just the home page.

In my Yahoo control panel there are no html files except for the file called “read.html” So I tried a link in the sidebar of the control panel that said, “Html Editor” I put that code Yahoo gave me in there, but it didn’t do anything.

My control panel is public, by the way, so I hope someone can help me figure this all out.

Hi Jess, I forgot to add, well, actually I forgot until I read your reply, that I tried both things they told me on another blog of mine on the same server and neither one forwarded the blog to the subdomain address. In fact, nothing happened at all. I did it like you said, after the head tag and before the close head tag. Now I remember that’s why I was asking if they were telling me to do it in the theme editor of the actual blog or to do it in my Yahoo Small Business Control Panel. But the deal is, I could find no HTML file like they mentioned, only PHP. (Now I am really getting confused.

As far as the second problem, not being able to get into the blog, I thought I DID re-upload the administrative folder in the FTP.

Ugh.

Here are the suggestions they gave me for forwarding.

However, you need not worry about it! I have found few workarounds for
you to forward your domain to some other service provider or website.

Workaround I. Using HTML/JAVASCRIPT code for domain transfer:
=============================================================

This option is useful when you wish to transfer you domain requests to
some other website on a temporary basis. Here are the details which you
may wish to follow.

* Using JavaScript code:
————————

Add the following code in the “<HEAD>” section of your “index.html”
page:

<script>top.location.href=”https://metrikaphoenix.com/”</script&gt;

Replace the value for the attribute “top.location.href” to the website
where you wish to forward your domain to.

* Using HTML code:
——————

The HTML code below shows how to use an HTML <META> tag in the header to
redirect to another page. The <META> tag goes in the <HEAD> section of
your HTML document. The <META> tag on this page looks like:

<META HTTP-EQUIV=”Refresh” CONTENT=”5; URL=”https://clearwire.com/”&gt;

The “5” means to wait 5 seconds before redirecting. The
“html-redirect.html” after “url=” is the URL of the page to which to
redirect.

You can save the above code in an “index.html” file in the root
directory.

I can’t get into the theme if that’s what they are talking about. Or are they talking about my control panel in my hosting account?

I feel like I am close to getting this done, just need some instruction .

I downloaded the theme again and added it to my FTP and everything is working now EXCEPT the administrative function. I even tried uploading JUST the function and admin files and still, I can’t get in to do anything to the blog.

Also, I contacted yahoo about domain forwarding to the subdomain I created on the same domain but they said that I didn’t have that option in my hosting package. They offered me two ideas for doing it on my own but I don’t find an html file anywhere, only PHP, and fooling with the PHP was what got me into this predicament in the first place! Can someone help me get these things fixed tonight? Man, I sure hope so. I am losing income and readers.

Thank you so much, Jess. I will send you an email in the morning. I gotta hit the sack, screwed up blog or not. I am exhausted from fooling with this all day. ??
