3.7 update issue

In case it’s a plugin issue can you use FTP to rename wp-content/plugins to wp-content/plugins-OLD?

Don’t delete anything just rename the directory. Once you’ve done that clear your browser cache and cookies and try your URL again.

Also let’s see what your site looks like with curl…

$ curl -I https://www.gb-dl.co.uk/wd/
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx
Date: Sat, 26 Oct 2013 21:18:32 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Connection: keep-alive
Location: https://www.gb-dl.co.uk/wd/wd/

Your using nginx so the .htaccess file would not do anything for you. nginx ignores that.

Do you know what version of nginx you are using and if you can share a pastebin.com link to your nginx.conf file?

I’m using nginx/1.1.19 on Ubuntu LTS

$ nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.1.19

if I you can share your nginx.conf file I may be able to see why it works for me and not you.

Forgot to mention – I’ve already renamed all my plugins directory.

Still not a runner, also tried on the other browser, and flushed the firefox one as well.

Haven’t got a ngix.conf file in my root directory. And my provider runs an Apache Server.

I do have a .htaccess file in the root, that redirects to the /wd directory; where the WordPress files reside.

In it is this:-

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gb-dl.co.uk/wd/$1 [L,R=301]

As I say, I’m sure that the .htaccess in the /wd directory; did have something in before the update, and I’m sure that! – Is what’s causing my problems.

Many thanks for your speedy reply.

And my provider runs an Apache Server

Your provider may be running Nginx on top of Apache.

Anyway, please update your .htaccess (in the root directory) like…

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wd/?
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ https://www.gb-dl.co.uk/wd/$1 [L,R=301]

I hope that fixes the issue.

Pothi – Thank you for your response.

I updated the .htaccess file as you suggested.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wd/?
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ https://www.gb-dl.co.uk/wd/$1 [L,R=301]

From

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gb-dl.co.uk/wd/$1 [L,R=301]

https://www.gb-dl.co.uk/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/wd/

As you can see above, my site still re-curses into itself, and the error now changes to; file not found.

Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.

Web Server at gb-dl.co.uk

Sigh! – But many thanks for your salient effort.

Your site (gb-dl.co.uk and gb-dl.co.uk/wd/) looks good from here… https://www.dropbox.com/s/w1zrfuv6vwllrgi/Screenshot%202013-10-27%2014.13.15.png

Solution:-

Put my .htaccess back, as below.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gb-dl.co.uk/wd/$1 [L,R=301]

Found a backup of the .htaccess file, that used to reside in my /wd directory. If you’ll remember, the installer left it empty.
– It now looks like.

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wd/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wd/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

My site is held on the folder/directory called /wd

– Should you also be suffering the same sort of issues I encountered after running the 3.7 update/installer. Then consider the solution I’ve outlined above as a means of relieving your stress.

Hope it helps.

– Praise be the ORI.
