It wasn’t “clear the cache in wordpress”. I had tried that.

I think one of the files that are hosted on my web site got changed or corrupted.

I completely deleted and re-installed.

I thought I had marked it resolved. Doing that now. Sorry!

I completely deleted everything and started over.

It’s working now.

I assume it was something in C-Panel that was messed up

(I have another page that was and still is up and working fine, and it uses trhe Overlay theme)

Appreciate the response/attempt to help!!

I was actually using a different theme.
And it was up and working.
When it quit working, (it was up. I went back 3 days later and it wasn’t right anymore) I tried using overlay because I’m using it on one of my other sites

(I have multiple sites on multiple databases. Not using multi-site)

I just changed themes.
“skip to content” did go away, but something is still majorly wrong.

It won’t upload images and the site looks like a MySpace site instead of looking anything like the theme.

I have spent a day or two with it since, and it’s working reliably now.

Making as solved

I was getting the message on my desktop and android phone, but we didn’t get it on iPads , another laptop and another phone.

I cleared the cookies again, but this time saw the “for today” or “all” and cleared them all. Had to do the same thing with the phone.

Both see the site now if you type anything into the browser bar.

If you search on google, and click on the link it gets the oops message, but I thing that’s googles search engine having memory. Not sure how to clear that, but it’s not a WordPress question at this point.

Thank you to everyone who chimed in.
I spent 2 days working on this before posting.
less that 30 min after posting, I got enough hints to fix it.
And THAT is awesome.
Have a great weekend all!

My wife is on MS Edge browser and it works.

I’m on Firefox

whenever I get the oops message it says

https://saxpistols.com/index.html

in the search window.

When ever it comes up right, there is no

/index.html tag

Nope, typed saxpistols.com in the google search and got the oops message again.

I don’t know what is going on

I changed it to https, re-did the settings->permalinks->save, then I cleared my cookies, and tried again and it seems to be working.

I’m assuming adding the “s” in https did something?

Does that make sense?

Knowing what fixed it is important to me.

https://saxpistols.com

Should it be https ?

This is weird.

If I type in
https://www.saxpistols.com
then it comes up fine (and says something about the link being insecure)

If I type in
saxpistols.com
(without the www.)
then it comes up with the opps page cannot be found
