Decompress…camera? Heck, I was gonna whip up a pitcher of margaritas!

Thanks again Joni…have a wonderful week!

Joni…it’s working again! Say Hallelujah!!!!
Maybe it just needed some time after that .htaccess revision you suggested?

Either way, it is up and running thanks to YOU!

I truly, sincerely thank you for your help!

Jeff

Darn,
Didn’t work. I double-checked to be sure that I had saved the code changes on the .htaccess file and then went back to my website and refreshed it, but no change.

BTW, I contacted Photocrati but they agreed with you that the theme has nothing to do with URLs, redirects etc.

To be sure, I could change my theme to one of the generic wordpress ones and see if it makes any difference. If it doesn’t, I think it is easy for me to reselect photograti again.

Jeff

Joni,
Okay, I edited the code to remove the repetitions. Here is what it shows now:

# Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Joni,
I just removed the home and blog page from the menu. I then saved the menu and opened the website. As expected, the tabs for home and blog no longer were there.
I then re-added the ‘home’ and ‘blog’ pages to the menu. Unfortunately, when I opened the website, it looked just like it did before I removed and re-added them to the menu.

Thoughts?

Hi Joni,
Just to be clear, I only have one About page and one Blog page. I deleted the duplicate About and Blog pages yesterday. In other words, if you go to Pages>All pages and look down the list, there is only a single page called ‘blog’ (or anything like blog) and a single page called ‘home.’

I’m going to delete the blog and home page from my menu now and then add them back and see what happens.

Thanks again for sticking with me thru this!
Jeff

Ok..so you are saying that I go to Appearance>Menu and on the right side of the screen, remove everything listed on the Menu. Then I go over to the left side of the screen where all the pages are listed, click the box in front of all of them and re-add them to the menu…right?

Jeff

Hi Joni,
Thanks! I did have to tell it to show .dot files! Okay, so I opened the file up and copied it below.I put a backtick at the start and the end. Let me know if this is okay!

Joni,
My host is Bluehost. I opened the cPanel and found File Manager, but I didn’t see anything called .htacess file. Would it be listed under something else?

I’ve got 25 pages many of them with unique photo galleries attached to them that would be lost if I deleted the page…it would be an incredible amount of work to recreate them. If you think this is the only way to fix it, I will delete them, but if there is another way, I’d love to try it! I double checked my menu again and there are no duplicates of any pages.

Kmessinger,
So you think the problem isn’t wordpress but it is an issue with my theme?

Hi Guys,
Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by “post your htaccess file”?

Disabling the right click is a feature of the Photocrati theme I use. If you think it is causing any issues let me know and I will turn it off.

I wasn’t aware that I was telling IE to run as IE9..in fact, I have no idea how I would do that if I wanted to:)

Thanks!
Jeff

Hi All,
Looks like my permalinks are set correctly, but I still can’t access my blog. So we must have a different problem?

I am open to all suggestions,
Thanks!
Jeff

Under Settings>Permalinks>Common Settings, I have the fifth option selected (Post Name). I don’t have the default selected.

Hi Kmessinger,
I reviewed the link you sent me.
I did have my Front page displays set up as instructed (I selected STATIC PAGE and have Front’ Page set up as ‘Home’ and Posts page set up as ‘Blog.’

However, I do not understand the last part of the instructions in the link when it says: ‘Enable “Permalinks” to show the “page title” in the address, since /index.php?p=423 defeats the purpose of making a static front page.’

I looked under Settings>Permalinks but didn’t see anything about “page title” there.

What should I try next?
Thanks!
Jeff

Hi Joni,
You are correct, I did have multiple old versions in my trash file. I went ahead and deleted them. Now I only have a single version of each page, including ‘blog’ ‘about’ and ‘home.’

However, I still have that problem with my ‘blog’ page…you click on it and it thinks for a long time and finally comes back and says This page can’t be displayed.

What can we try next?
Thanks for all your help!
Jeff

Hi Joni,
1) No, honestly I’m not sure I’m linking to the right blog page…how do I know for sure?
2)I cleared my cache on IE 10 again when I got your last note, but no change on the blog page
3) Not silly…I’ve done it my self. I double checked and hit the SAVE button again…but still no luck.

Let me know how be sure about linking to the correct blog page and I’ll give it a shot.

Thanks!
Jeff
