• I’m just lost as to what the heck is going on with my wordpress site! On my site everything seems to work fine till today when I tried to link to another one of my sites that’s inside the same “host” For some reason this returns me a ERROR 404 once I click on the link from my blog post.

    If I make a post and link to https://www.mysite.com from https://www.myblogsite.com it for some reason hits a Error 404 but if I highlight the address on the address bar on my browser and hit enter it will load the site…it’s very strange!

    I installed a 2nd version of wordpress to see if this was a server problem or a wordpress problem but the 2nd installation works fine and i’m able to link to my own sites inside my host account just fine…it’s only the ONE blog site that I use that for some odd reason returns Error 404/Forbidden messages ONLY to my own sites. Google/yahoo and all other sites work fine.

    It’s very hard to explain…I hope someone out there understands it or knows what the issue is and how it can be fixed.

    I’m using wordpress 2.7.1 i’m afraid to upgrade to 2.8.4 because i’m scared my plugins might stop working or the theme might fail :\

  • Site url?

    I have added a link at the bottom of the post to one of the sites in question and also a link to google.com so you can see the difference. I also added the own sites URL because I can link to the site the blog is on fine, but any other site that I host within my hosting account will not show up.

    When the first site opens you will see 404 but if you highlight it and press enter it will load.

    I just updated to 2.8.4 and still the same thing is happening.

    I think there’s a problem on the site you’re linking to – not on the site you’re link from. The link itself is fine. The site that it’s linking to has some sort of problem. Whether it’s a WP issue or a server problem, I couldn’t say right now.

    Who runs the server?

    I do…I installed another wordpress assuming that it was a site issue with the second site but it works fine, but from the site above it won’t work. So that takes out the site linking to problem.

    I can link to it on forums/sites/even make a test.html and link to it, all of it is fine, even on the 2nd wordpress installation it’s fine, but on that one above it’s not. It’s not just that one site, it’s all the sites that I have in the same host account, but again, if I install a new wordpress and do it it works fine…So my guess is wordpress on the site above is the problem, not sure what/where/how! driving me crazy…

    If that WP install was going to create incorrect links, it would get all of the links wrong. Not just some of them. Plus the link urls are correct. It’s the linked site that doesn’t respond correctly. My guess is that there’s some sort of redirection/rewrite issue on the server.

    That’s also what I assumed but I don’t get why the other WordPress install works fine and this one does not…they’re both on the same hosting account too…very annoying…

    Whatever it is it’s happening only form the above blog, not any other blog. I think something in that blog’s .htaccess is wrong…something is just not correct.

    An .htaccess file only affects incoming traffic – not outgoing.

    You’re right…ugh this is so annoying. If you have a wordpress blog can you please do a draft with the link to the site in it and hit preview then click on it to see if you also get a Error 404?
