If your blog isn’t working what good is the shopping cart?

The question is: If my shopping cart is not working, what good is the blog?

I don’t make money off of my blog – I make money off of my online store, which is why the shopping cart is essential. If I rename the .htaccess the shopping cart will not work.

This is an e-commerce site. The blog is only used as a SEO tool to increase traffic and promote my product.

There is no .htaccess file in the WordPress directory. The .htaccess file I’m talking about controls the shopping cart and the entire e-commerce site. What I’m trying to find out is if I should make any changes in my current .htaccess file or create a new .htaccess in the WordPress directory. And if so, what kind of changes.

Why rename the .htaccess? This will screw up my shopping cart…

I should probably mention that I still have the CNAME for my old blog:

CNAME: feeds.outcastgirls.com Points to: ghs.google.com

I don’t know if that has anything to do with the WordPress install.

Thank you kindly for your help. I do appreciate it very much.

This is what my .htaccess looks like… I don’t think there’s an issue with it. I have only used it to redirect my old blog and my website, but there isn’t anything related to WordPress. Should anything be added in .htaccess to redirect WordPress correctly?

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^outcastgirls.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.outcastgirls.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^outcastgirls.blogspot.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.outcastgirls.blogspot.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3 [L,PT]

The reason “Oops” was showing for awhile is because I uninstalled WordPress. I installed it again but still isn’t working.

I did not see any changes in the Domain Manager. No nameservers were added. I did not see anything added in the DNS either.
Should I add a new CNAME or A (Host)?
The only thing I noticed is that my host is pointing to my IP address and GoDaddy suggested it points to outcastgirl.com but I’m not sure what they were referring to exactly and what would be the impact on my website. This is what they sent me:

“The https://www.outcastgirls.com/blog URL is displaying a redirect loop so you may want to troubleshoot your htaccess file configuration to ensure it is configured properly. We reviewed your hosting account with our advanced hosting support and they advise that you check your WordPress settings to ensure that it is properly set to point to outcastgirls.com and not the dedicated IP address.”

Where can I find the WordPress settings? Are they talking about wp-settings.php? There is no IP address in that file.
