Broken link in Admin Dashboard

What url is being used for Page 2?

first page is https://domainname.com/wp-admin/edit-pages.php

2nd page is https://wp-admin/edit-pages.php?pagenum=2

Thanks.

Well, the url is correct. so I’d guess that it’s a server or rewrite issue. Any .htaccess file in wp-admin? What’s in the WP root .htaccess file?

Pretty generic from the little I know about this file:

# Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

Just re-checked the 2 links you posted and the 2nd one is completely shot. Your .htaccess file looks fine, so what urls are being used in Settings/General?

Any plugins running? Tried switching to the default theme?

I tried switching to default theme and deactivated the one plugin I am using, no change as far as the page URL issue.

What do you have for the two URLs in Settings/General?

https://domainname.com for both

Do you have more than 1 page of categories or tags?

Sorry, my internet connection was down for a day.

I have 0 categories or tags.

Different browser – same issue.

Just hovering over the page 2 link (from page 1) points to https://wp-admin instead of https://domainname.com/wp-admin

Have you spoken to your hosts about this?

yes,no help at all. Immediately referred me here.

Try re-uploading the wp-admin & wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.

Just to make sure I understand, do a fresh download to a separate folder, then upload just the wp-admin and wp-includes folders, correct?

Thanks for the help.

Correct.

1. Download WordPress

2. Delete the /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ directories from your server.

3. Upload the /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ directories from the fresh download.
