Hi KC,

My domain was purchased through GoDaddy, but my nameservers belong to my webspace, Omnis. GoDaddy told me they can’t edit anything since I’m not using their nameservers, and Omnis says they can’t make changes on my behalf (which I think is a recent thing – I’ve used them for a couple years now and never got that reply).

Hi KC,

I put in the request, and they told me they can’t make changes on my behalf, and to contact my developer (which would be me.. basically). Any good tutorials out there for setting up CNAME?

(Thanks so much for your help too – it seemed like it would be a small thing to fix when I started this adventure, haha)

Just went into the htaccess file and set the permissions at 777. My WordPress Permalinks settings still say the file is not rewritable though, and is asking me to manually update it.

However, when I pull up the file to manually update the code it’s already showing the changes WordPress is asking me to make. So the file has been updated, but WordPress isn’t seeing the change (and is still asking me to change it).

Yep! Tried to view the page by itself and it says 404 Not Found.

Hi KC,

They said I don’t have a CNAME set up currently. Should I ask them to set one up? (note: I attempted to set one up myself and totally broke something, so they’re also fixing it ;)).

Getting this message when I access my zone file to find the CNAME: “The zone file is unavailable because the domain’s set nameservers do not belong to this registrar.”

Guessing I should contact my server instead since the nameservers actually belong to them? Or should I still contact my domain?

Hi KC,

Thanks for your reply! I just double-checked the URLs after reading your post, and both are reading https://www.meganwolfephoto.com/wp like they should.
