What else is in the htdocs folder is what s_ha_dum meant ??

Right, what else is in the folder where that .htaccess file is? As a guess, I’d say that is the httpdocs folder in your screenshot, but it might be a subdirectory of that.

Ok, in the new image, what is in the “blog” folder?

WP-Admin!

And there is the .htaccess file that WordPress uses.

What is in that .htaccess file?

Show file joejord.co.uk / httpdocs / blog / .htaccess
View the original file in the following encoding: Reload

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

# END WordPress

I think I had the wrong access file!

That .htaccess file looks right, and I don’t see the problem on the page anymore.

Yeah, not having /blog/ as the rewrite base would do it, if you installed WP in a subfolder ??

My hosting company also disabled and I then reinstalled my web counter plug in not sure if this helped?

So is the access file correct and hopefully it should be OK?

I don’t see the issue on your page, and the .htaccess looks right, so hopefully you will be OK now.

Many thanks for your time and effort on this.
