and thanks in advance for any help, i really appreciate it

sorry, was not aware of pastebin:)

here is the code again
https://pastebin.com/y878bJ3H

the damage was already done by using visual. i had paid someone to create this login/membership management for me but its been several weeks and they have not returned emails. so i am really stuck here.

the actual paypal buttons seem to work, but the code is displaying.

sorry, i didn’t realize when i posted this, that you need to be logged in to see the join page. what you’re seeing is the login page which is fine.

i don’t know how to force the page with the issues to be seen, but here is a screen shot.

and here is the code on the page

update – i was told the way i had my permalinks set was the issue. when changed to /postname/
the original solution i was having the problem with now works.

thank you for those who responded and offered solutions.

@kraignos

thank you i will try this. question – do i need to replace my current htaccess file?

okay. i’ve got to return the site to normal because i’ve already receive complaints that the site isn’t working. so the link above will no longer show what i described.

i guess i’ve totally confused everyone or i’ve stumped everyone? ??

nevermind – try this

go here – https://www.surfecsc.com/

then click on MORE

then click on any of the menu items and you’ll see what happens. it takes them back to the temp page when i want them to be able to move around the site as normal.

no.

i just need this page to be the first page people see when they go to the site. https://www.treystoneinc.com/temp%20page/

you’ll see the last image says more. when they click on this image it will show the website.

(Note, i have this temp page set-up just for show on my server, not the event sites server )

@ipstenu
i don’t think that will work for me because i don’t want the current/regular static page/home page to go away. I just need for visitors to see a totally different main page before they enter the real wordpress site.

@kraignos
what if i want the temp page to always be first, even if they visited the page before?

i see what you’re saying.

my problem is i need to use the temp landing page that i already created which is very basic, no menu. just a few graphics.

the site is for a surfing event and every year we crash because we exceed our BW. so this year, my thought was to created a temp landing page with a few images that direct people to other sites that are covering the event, and then give the option to view the actual event site.

hope i am making sense.

sorry, i wasn’t clear – i need everyone else to be able to see the site too:)

if i could hug you i would! thank you very much. that was it!

forgot to add this:

when i look in the uploads/2011/07 folder on the server the images that i tried to upload are there. but the direct path to them does not work.

not sure if that means anything but trying to give as much info as possible.
