Hi Janet.

Thank you for the quick response. Ive had a look at plugins and decided that I really wanted to create a more personalised submission form for my users without having to try bending two plugins to my will.

The email address is stored and supplied using WP Job Manager which is a fantastic plugin. Ive made the custom submission form that populates all the info I’m after and works exactly how I want it. The only thing I cant figure out is how to take the email address supplied in the specific job listing and insert it into my form mailto using a redirect link. If I use a plugin I then have to force the plugin do what I want which I think would be harder if you understand me unless there is a plugin out there that only does this one specific function. Sorry if I’m not making sense.

In your case i believe its network solutions inc

Best way to do that would be by contacting your host and get them to do it. Honestly try the first option first. Filezilla is quick and free to download and you won’t be loosing any data.

Ok. Option 1

First you need to download an FTP program like Filezilla.
This program will allow you to access the files on your website directly from the database. You might need to get your username and login from your host provider first.

Once you have connected, find your function.php file, right click and go to edit. Use a program like notepad for this.

Immediately below the ‘<?php at the top of the page enter these codes:

update_option(‘siteurl’,’https://www.search-inc.com&#8217;);
update_option(‘home’,’https://www.search-inc.com&#8217;);

This will allow you to access the admin side as normal using /wp-admin

Save

Upload the file back to the site

Go to the admin login page (you might have to refresh several times.

This next bit is important. As soon as you’ve got into the admin side you need to go back to the function.php file and remove the code you just added. Save and re upload.

Option 2

Completely wipe wordpress and reinstall im afraid.

In addition do you have access to an FTP of some description?

Great thank you for clarifying that. I wont lie to you. Its quite a serious problem but fixable. You have essentially told WordPress to use someone else ‘s website as the source for yours.

So i can help please can you clarify which domain is the one you own. Secondly to log into the back end admin do you use ….com/wp-admin, something similar or is the website setup to redirect users away from back end log in (ie all users can only access back end through a front end login screen?

edit

by front end login i mean no one has to type a custom url into address bar to access the wp login screen

When did you purchase the domain https://www.search-inc.com. Ive had a look and both domains are registered for completely different company’s?

edit

sorry what i meant to ask was do you own both domains?

Was this in the general settings of WP that you made this change? Does the url your page is showing now have any differences in it from its original? Are you sure when you made the url change that it was completely correct?

I’m having this issue too but I’m maybe suspecting an underlying problem with 3.9.1 WP. I have two sites, one fully running on an older version with no slowdown. The other is currently in construction with no content and both front and back end are painfully slow. Both sites use the same host, so I can at the moment only put it down to the machine running my second site is dying or WP 3.9.1 has issues.

When you do a clean install, have you tried adding back your content section by section or are you uploading everything at once?

Maybe working forward first with adding a vanilla version of your theme then adding back file by file will help you spot which file contains the offending php. If you don’t get past installing a vanilla theme then I would say there’s an underlying issue with the database. Might be worth asking your host to do a complete wipe first.
