Thanks much for your help!

Per your link, I cleared the cache and now RealTime is working.

Does past traffic get tracked? And if so, I assume that will happen after midnight in my GA/WP timezone?

Ok, got it fixed.

I gave up and contacted HostGator support and they were able to identify and fix the problem. Yesterday I had tried that but since yesterday I thought it was a plug-in or a theme problem they wouldn’t help me.

The problem was missing default code in the .htaccess file. Not sure why this happened, but they fixed it and the site displays properly now.

Thanks for all your suggestions which helped me narrow down the list of potential issues and describe it properly so tech support would actually help me.

Thanks so much. I’ll check it out.

I am not sure what /0 is, I am going through my File Manager and don’t see a folder like that. I enabled show hidden files and still don’t see it.

WordPress is installed in the root directory. I thought about moving it, but I don’t think that’s the problem. The problem, I think, is that some file is pointing the user to a wrong file when they type in the URL of the site (https://vagabondbeat.com), or that the template for the homepage (recent posts) is stored erroneously on some folder?

I opened up .htaccess and index.php and don’t see any reference to the /0…

All my other pages display correctly when I type in their URL or click to links to them. It’s just the correct homepage doesn’t display when I type in https://vagabondbeat.com/.

Ok, changed the site URL to /0/.

This half fixed it. Now when I am on any post page and click on the name of the blog, it takes me to https://vagabondbeat.com/0/ and displays correctly.

BUT
If I type in https://vagabondbeat.com/ it still shows up wrong, it doesn’t redirect me to https://vagabondbeat.com/0/,

and most importantly, I don’t want my homepage to be or display as https://vagabondbeat.com/.

I’m not sure how it even got to be stuck there. Any ideas on how to move it or fix it? I think maybe what I need to do is delete the homepage template in the root directory and move the one in /0/ to the root?

Is that right? I don’t know how to do that and not sure it would work, I don’t want to make the problem even worse.

I use W3 Total Cache, and flushed the cache, but didn’t help.

I deactivated all of my plug-ins just now and reloaded the site in a different browser, and it still displays incorrectly.

Whatever I do, the homepage (https://vagabondbeat.com) is stuck on this old version. Any changes I make to the homepage, theme, content, etc. only show up on this weird 0 subdirectory (https://vagabondbeat.com/0/). I guess what I need to figure out is why my “homepage” is defined as “/0/” instead of in the root directory, and why this old version got stuck in the root. Being a total noob, I don’t know where to start.

I’d appreciate any suggestion as to what forum to post this problem since it’s not the plug-in. Thanks for helping me narrow down the issue.

For now I’ve posted here with no success.

Thanks for the suggestions Alen and lalez.

First I deleted Twenty-Fifteen then reactivated my current theme. This only makes the homepage appear with the wrong content, but now without any theme. It still doesn’t apply the proper content or the current theme.

Next I tried to change the homepage to a static page but in the dropdown box it doesn’t give me the option to set the root page as the static page. Anyway I selected my About page as the homepage instead, but this didn’t change anything at https://vagabondbeat.com, it only applies the change to https://vagabondbeat.com.

I guess what I need to figure out is why my “homepage” is defined as “/0/” instead of in the root directory.

Being a total noob, I have no idea how to do this or where to look for it. Anyone have an idea?

@jeremy thanks for trying that.

I logged in just now and the same message still appears under “Permalinks” under Settings. Just to be clear that’s the only place it appears, I know some people were seeing it on the dashboard as well.

The homepage still displays incorrectly as well.

An update…

I’m not sure what I did or how they fixed it, but I contacted HostGator support and they undid my little mistake.

So kudos to Hostgator…

Meanwhile I’ll keep trying to fix my “Something has gotten mixed up!” error which still hasn’t gone away.

At this link if anyone has an idea…

Hi, I am having a similar problem. I get the same error in my Permalinks menu.

“Something has gotten mixed up!

Your siteurl option is set up as https://vagabondbeat.com, but your WordPress.com connection lists it as 0!
Your home option is set up as https://vagabondbeat.com, but your WordPress.com connection lists it as 1!”

Desconnecting and reconnecting to WordPress.com didn’t help. Deleting and reinstalling and reactivating and reauthorizing Jetpack didn’t help.

When I go to my home page vagabondbeat.com, the page displays incorrectly as a very old version. But if I go to vagabondbeat.com/0/, it displays correctly.

On the other hand, on my iPhone and iPod the site works fine whether in mobile mode or desktop mode. So not sure what is going on.

The above fix didn’t work for me!
