Menu bar not working

  • Recently when I updated to the new version of WordPress, my navigation menu bar stopped working. I can access all the pages on my website by manually typing in the url, but anything that is linked to the menu bar is inaccessible. What happens is when i click on a item on the menu bar, it immediately downloads a zip file which contains a file that looks like this KQL2DdXQ.gz (depends which menu item is clicked). When i try to open the file an error comes up saying (invalid archive directory). Please help, this is a really frustrating issue and I can’t seem to find any information on the problem in any help forums.

  • Hi,

    You should try deactivating all plugins and using the default WordPress theme, and see if this fixes your problem.

    If I had to guess I would say it is probably a problem with using an old theme.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    I tried reverting back to the default theme, but it doesn’t help. The site works fine when I’m logged in as an admin, but when i access the site from anywhere else, i encounter the problem. It doesn’t seem like there is a new version of my theme. May be time to upgrade to a new one *sigh*.

    thank you

    Found the problem, it was two little lines of code located in my .htaccess file.

    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{SERVER_NAME}/$1/index.html.gz -f

RewriteRule ^(.*) "/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{SERVER_NAME}/$1/index.html.gz" [L]

    Removed those and everything works fine now.
