I am pleased to announce that it is now fixed and it indeed was a simple problem.
I have a members plugin and it was set so that only members who were logged in could see the website.
a silly mistake to make and one which no-one else could have foreseen.
sorry to waste your time and thanks for my web server Lunarpages for tracing it for me.

The code in my .htaccess in the root folder of my website says the following

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

One interesting fact. When I am logged into the site, the webpage works perfectly, no matter what tab I am using. When I log out, it goes back to adding /news on the end.

I contacted my server and they replied –

Hello,
Thank you for your patience with regards to this matter. We have reviewed your inquiry and noticed that the redirect is not set at server level, but since we are talking about WordPress which is URL dependent we would need you to clarify if there had been any changes within your WordPress configuration to reference the /news, or if previously the blog was hosted in that certain directory.
Also we have noticed that while trying to override the default WordPress setup by adding the following lines to your wp-config.php file:
define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://www.wrapmidsussex.co.uk’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://www.wrapmidsussex.co.uk’);
The error thrown is too many redirects, which proves that the redirect is from within WordPress, either caused by a plugin or theme if not by the WordPress setup.
Best Regards,

Its a site that I haven’t worked on for a long while except for adding one post.

so what can I do now?

back again!

I did as raffish and asmi suggested but i either get a 404 error or a ‘not found’ error.

the fact it insists on finding a news page that doesn’t exist and not the static home page should be simple to fix in theory shouldn’t it?

thank you. I will play around. A couple of years ago I had to change a similar file for 301 redirects I believe?
But I haven’t had anymore experience than that first encounter.

default is what it was on and Ive been changing it around but no difference except it says You 404’d it Gnarly dude’.

renaming htaccess?

the url address entered in General is correct.

The permalinks is on default but I tried the others, even adding /%category%/%postname%/ in the custom structure.

I haven’t tried renaming .htaccess

I’m not sure why or how I would do that?

thanks

I’ve tried changing the permalinks but that didn’t help.

any offers?

cancel all that.
I’ve got it working somehow!

cheers

sorry. the first paragraph should have read –

I’ve installed CrazyEgg integrator and it tells me to enter the account number and voila!
well I entered the account number but where is the voila? It doesnt tell me where to enter the code. Can anyone help because this isn’t answered anywhere in the forum.
I want to use it on my static home page, not blog.

apologies esmi. I didnt put the absolute path to swobject.js or contactform.xml

I am now a happy person because it now works.

truly you are the oracle esmi!

seriously. thank you for your help.

esmi.
i put absolute paths for contact form but that didn’t work either.

thanks.

have I got urls in the code then?

I was hopeful samboll but it still comes up with the words Form Object.

any other suggestions?

thanks for reading. I sorted it myself. needed to change the index page. elementary mistake. hope i dont have to come back here.lol
