Your header file has
<link rel="canonical" href="index.html" />
you might need to check this first
I think this is being added through your SEO Yoast plugin

Robin,
First thanks for your reply.
But this line was already present in header file. Till yesterday (10PM IST)my site works fine. After that I didn’t change anything in my site. Could you please investigate more on this….

Robin,

i deleted .htaccess file and tried, even though its not working

Backup your website, disable your plugins or if you have access to your ftp rename your plugins folder to plugins-old

tried still same problem.

I couldn’t find thie in header.php

<link rel=”canonical” href=”index.html” />

try changing to other theme ? twentyten

How to change theme? login page is not working. How to do as admin?

if you have access to ftp rename your current theme folder to theme-old and it should be able to pick default theme twentyeleven (if you havnt deleted it and it is still in your theme directory) but to the looks of it, i would suggest make a new directory install a fresh copy of your WordPress, install your theme (which you are currently using) and see if this is still happening

IMP: do backup your current database as well.

changed theme folder name, no luck. But my site still using the theme. I don’t know how its happening?

your stylesheet has a code for background pointing to a strange URL
background-image:url(‘../www.momizat.net/theme/goodnews3/red/files/2011/12/bg3.png’);

do you what about it ?

did you rename on your server or on your local as it should not pick your old theme if the folder is not there

can you printscreen your ftp view

I renamed “themes” to “themes-old” in the server. But its amazing how it can access the theme folder?
