Quick Page/Post Redirect DEV
Version 4.2.2

I’m using a 301 plugin..quick redirects.

Michael,
I got in and the way I did it was through the phpMyAdmin. we’re hosted on Yahoo and a very nice person there helped me to find “phpmyadmin”. This is a great tool and I highly recommend using it. The instructions from your link above are very good.
Phew!!
Thank you!

Hi, Mike,
I tried to upload to each of the files, wp-admin and wp-content as well as the file that contains both those files. When I click on the link through my browser, I get an apology from WordPress that the page can’t be found. Any other place to try to place it?
What’s the wp-config method? The link you sent was to this discussion.

And, thank you for all your help!

Hi, Mike,
Thank you so much for this. I got as far as uploading the file but it says, ” Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found.” I’ve double,triple checked it. (I’ve since deleted the file as you suggested).

Is there particular code I could chang in the file that I could then upload and avoid the browser problem? Then, I could just upload it??

Hi, Christi,
You’re a genius!!! Thanks a ton. I disabled it!

Chad,

I selected “New York” versus UTC-5 in Settings>Timezone. Is that correct and what was causing the problem?

Chad,

I got access to our logs and it is saying this:

I see a drop down menu in setting time is that what I’m supposed to change for EST?

It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected ‘UTC’ for ‘GMT/0.0/no DST’ instead in /yahooadmin/libraries/db_info.inc.php on line 88

Hi, Chad,
I’ve tried yahoo several times hoping to get a different answer but they say this is a WordPress issue.

That’s why I pasted the code into Pastebin hoping to get help from someone who might see an error with our permalinks or .htaccess code.

Could you see the code in Pastebin?

Hi, Geeksfolder,
I pasted the code into pastebin: https://pastebin.com/LrMZwLGm

I made it private because I didn’t know if it should be public? Can you see it?
I’m still having problems with not being able to login to wordpress. I keep having to repair the database.

Hi Geeksfolder,

Distregard the previous code. (I hope you’re reading this first!) I found the .htaccess!! Here’s where in case anyone else is hosted on Yahoo which doesn’t allow any files starting with a “.” :
wp-admin>options-permalink.php
The code is as follows:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

I had several choices. We’re hosted on Yahoo and so we don’t have a separate .htaccess file. This is index.php:

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

Hi Geeksfolder,
I went in through my Yahoo account and was able to back up the database. Thank you.

The problem is I have to keep doing this. This just started to happen a day ago. I’m noticing many of our blog links are bad and have the 500 server errors.

Can you help me?

Hi, geeksfolder,

I went to your page and got the following message:

To allow use of this page to automatically repair database problems, please add the following line to your wp-config.php file. Once this line is added to your config, reload this page.

define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);

The closest file I have to put this code into is: “config.inc.php” should I just put that in?

Knut,
I was looked in your forums and found out from someone that those of us hosted on Yahoo have to add index.php to our customer permalinks.
When I did this all the post links worked!
