Because it’s considered plugin territory under www.ads-software.com rules.

How did you install the full theme?

WordPress doesn’t do this on it’s own, perhaps a theme or plugin. What theme are you using?

Is this for a wordpress.com site or a wordpress.org (self-hosted) site? If it’s for wordpress.com (most likely), you should ask your question in the WordPress.com Forum.

Let’s narrow this down.

Paste the .htaccess file in / and /blog/.

Paste the index.* file in / and /blog/.

Do you recall entering “m.atlascomforts.com” any where in your Dashboard? Also, what are all the plugins you have installed?

Bonedoggie

require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/blog/wp-blog-header.php’ );

is the correct statement but it doesn’t seem to match the error message you showed you were getting.

This shows that it’s still not accessing the blog subdirectory:

Warning: require() [function.require]: Unable to access /www/99k.org/b/o/n/bonehome/htdocs/wp-blog-header.php in /www/99k.org/b/o/n/bonehome/htdocs/index.php on line 17

It should be trying to access:

/www/99k.org/b/o/n/bonehome/htdocs/blog/wp-blog-header.php

Paste the entire code from https://jonbonesteel.com/index.php.

What are all the plugins you have installed?

  setcookie('visited', true, time() + 3600 * 24);

First, disable all your plugins and see if it’s no longer weird. If it’s still weird, change your theme to Twenty Twelve or Twenty Thirteen. Also, let us know if you’re accessing your Dashboard using SSL/HTTPS.

Firefox is either serving you a cached version or you already have a session cookie. If you clear your cookies and cache in Firefox (CTRL+SHIFT+DEL) and then refresh the page, you will see the error.

If you have access to curl you can send a dummy post request which will force litespeed to get a live version rather than a cache. I saved the output from this and checked with a feed validator and it does validate.

~$ curl --data "dummy" https://www.obit8.com/feed/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0"
        xmlns:content="https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"

So as I said before, your host is using a caching system e.g. varnish, xcache, memcached etc. You need to contact them and ask them to clear it for you or tell you how to do it yourself.

In the directory before /wordpress/, remove/rename any existing index.* files and then create this index.php file (DO NOT edit wordpress/index.php!):

<?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php' );

Set the site/home URLs in your wp-config.php to:

define('WP_HOME', 'https://www.taramcnulty.com/wordpress');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://www.taramcnulty.com');

The theme on www.ads-software.com is the ‘lite’ version which doesn’t include the column shortcode functionality (amongst other things). It’s part of the full theme which you can download for free from the authors website https://alxmedia.se/themes/hueman/.

I only said that because catacaustic suggested deleting the .htaccess file and Appa responded indicating that he had but didn’t work. PHP can bring up the same authentication box as explained here and so from a plugin too.

Edit: it could also be a security measure by the provider like esmi said.

Appa: If you have FTP access, access your wp-content/plugins folder and tell us the names of the plugins you have installed.

This is happening because you are using a caching system. You can see it yourself in the response headers.
