There you go.

Hope this record is useful for someone else who experiences the same set of problems.

And… the blog is back!

I still don’t know what the problem was, but hopefully this might give you a clue:

– Once I was able to login and access the back-end, I had a look at the themes. As I mentioned I had deleted the new one via FTP thinking it might solve the problem. WordPress was letting me know that it had resorted to using the default theme. However, the front-end was a white screen.

So I reinstalled the new theme once again and lo-and-behold everything was up and running once again. I cannot define the exact nature of the problem but I hope if anyone who is an expert reads this, they might get a sense of what happened. I’ve left a public trail of what I did just in case anyone has the same problem.

And finally, I made 4 separate wordpress installs in different directories of my hosting account yesterday and was doing a lot of work on them, but I cannot think why this would affect my blog which had been running for a year.

Kind regards,
Abhay

Ah… one last very significant update.

When I typed in this URL:
https://www.dhyaandesign.com/blog/wp-login.php

I was able to login to the blog and see all my data and everything perfectly. However, still get a blank screen https://www.dhyaandesign.com/blog/ and the wp-admin still does a URL redirect.

I don’t know much about these things, but based on what little I have learnt in the past 6 hours, it seems to be a .htaccess problem? Is that correct?

For now, Im just happy I can login to my blog again!

Just a quick update –

I logged into the PhPMyAdmin and exported the database of the above mentioned blog which is currently not working. Then I made a new installation of WordPress and imported this blog. I made sure I updated the blog addresses in the database to match the new address.

When I visit the new blog e.g. https://www.dhyaandesign.com/thenewblog I still get a white screen. However, small progress: when i add the wp-admin I am able to login and access all my content intact.

I noticed that this time round the .htaccess created by wordpress was blank, so I added the following:

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

# END WordPress

However, no difference. I am happy to see my posts/comments again! Now just to get it up and running. Any help appreciated!

Abhay
