ok just in case anyone need to know….I moved it without the htaccess file and all was fine- guess since I had not touched the permalink structure it wasn’t necessary

for some reason when I went to my cpanel and click on login.php it took me to the page and I was able to login ???

oh well – it’s working thank goodness

thanks for the reply ??

ok working now…very odd!!!!

ok I’m almost there. I guess I put in dashboard the

WordPress uri and blog address as https://www.micromilestones.com

so by transfering all files to the root I was able to get the site up.

However, when I try to go to my admin it won’t work under
https://www.micromilestones.com/wp-admin.php

when I try https://www.micromilestones.com/wordpress/wp-admin.php I get redirected to
https://www.micromilestones.com/wordpress/wp-login.php

But it won’t let me sign in! aaarrgghh!

ok I think I know what the problem is. I never set up a permalinks (still at the default). WP I guess sets one up for you when you customize this.

So it’s safe to say at the moment I don’t need one.

PLEASE someone correct me if I’m wrong!

oh…just in case this is relevant. I was having issues with yahoo permalinks when I tried to change them to a custom one (turns out I have to use their own plugin for this)

Anyway it’s currently still at the default

Default https://www.mysite.com/wordpress/?p=123

Thanks for the response! according to that link I should do the following

In FileZilla ( https://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ )

Edit -> Settings -> Remote file list

Be sure that “Always show hidden files” is checked.

Yet don’t see this option on filezilla????

Also, just checked the file manager in cpanel as well as the original files I downloaded WP from and there is not htaccess file anywhere.

Does this mean I have to create one?

By the way, I am working with yahoo small business server. I know they do permalinks very differently so not sure if that may have an impact on this.

Thanks!!!

Thanks for the clarification…I appreciate you taking out the time to do.

Validation is not my strong point (yikes) but I’m sure I will be able to figure it out ??

It’s a shame those pescy little things always seem to show up on the page causing so much trouble

ok well I installed the Links Page Manager which did the job. However, would mind know how to code it as well just in case I ever have issue with the plugin ??

I was wondering how long this validation thing was going to take before it bites me in the you-know-what ??

Ok got some work cut out for me fixing this…thanks for point that out SS_Minnow. –

PS great profile pic- who doesn’t love Gilligans Island? ??

will try these options…thanks so much!!

Well found out what the little sneaky culprit is after much troubleshooting…thought I’d post it for those who may be having similiar problems with their wordpress sites hosted on yahoo.

Turns out yahoo doesn’t well well with the ‘pretty’ permalinks.

So after I used the custom option for permalinks noticed that the site was not redirecting.

Searched on WP forum and saw this post https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/135725?replies=24– very informative post on this issue.

I would suggest that if you are going to add a custom permalink that it’s done AFTER you’ve found a final home for your site and then use THEIR permalink plugin. Implementing it and then moving the site may cause more issues than good.

Hope this helps someone else ??

Hey hi again ??

yeah that’s what I did and site seems to be up and running better this time around but still experiencing some funky things:

for example:
at one point home page was the only one displaying- the rest I was getting a time out error message (wasn’t my cookies b/c my client was having same issue)

I make changes and shows up right away in IE and Safari but takes some time in Firefox

stuff like that.

Just hoping i’m not have a corrupt db issue.

thanks for the feedback!!

forget…just successful created a new db and did a fresh install of wp and site is back up again.

thanks again for your help!!

Hi Again,

So step 1 did resolve the issue so working on step 2. I ran into something interesting and wondering if someone has heard of this before??

I in the process of trying to create a new db for the new install and I noticed in my phpMyAdmin the database that was corrected with the original wp install contains a table named falbum_cache

Looked it up and it said it was a wp plugin yet couldn’t find this plugin in the plugin directory????

Could this be the source of the issue??? it was not showing in the wp admin when the site was still running.

Thinking of dropping the table and seeing if that corrects the issue but want to make sure it’s not something important.

Thanks again!!
