When I want to visit my webshop it now only downloads a .gz file! I already checked the .htacces file but that seems right. Also deactivated all plugins but still not working.. But strangely enough I can visit my admin panel. This is my .htacces file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
The problem is only on chrome. Already googled a lot but nothing works!
If using WP Super Cache, go to plugin settings->Advanced->Miscellaneous and uncheck: "Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors."
Do you have any cache plugins installed (especially WP Super Cache)? These links suggest they're the culprit: link 1 (WP Super Cache), link 2 (W3 Total Cache).
Suggested solution for WP Super Cache
Update to 1.4.6
OR
Remove the if test in line 1454 of "wp-cache.php":
if( !is_file( $cache_path . '.htaccess' ) ) {
(probably the matching brace must be dealt with too).
Suggested solution for W3 Total Cache
Disable page caching.
Remove both lines below:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
And Try Clearing Caches or Use A VPN

I have an issue with infinite loop of redirects on my home page. The message appears in all browsers. I tried to delete the cache and cookies, and uploaded a new .htaccess and sitemap.xml, but no change.
Then I used a redirect-checker tool that showed I have 19 redirects, but I don't know where they are set up. I checked redirection in cpanel, but there are none there. There are no issues with the plugin. I have no idea what is happening. Any suggestions?
You can check couple of things
Check the wp-config and try setting the site url explicitly
define('WP_HOME','http://yourdomain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://yourdomain.com');
Disable all the plugins and try to access the website if the same issue occurs
Check the .htaccess rules if any. Replace the htaccess with the following (Backup the existing one first)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
The page that I'm developing seems to generate a ?i=1 on its home address brought by the theme that it uses, namely Hiero by aThemes. I understand that it had yet to be updated, but I would like to be guided on what should I look for in the theme itself and what should be done to prevent it from displaying the latter issue. And yes, it's not brought by the plugins. Nor had I even used any plugin yet.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that I had already tried to refresh my permalinks but still no dice.
EDIT 2:
Here's the .htaccess contents.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress`
Found where the problem is; It's the hosting server itself, they use such parameters to block spam and bots.
So my site is loading VERY slowly so I checked it on gtmetrix.com. The results, below, show that several JS files don't exist.
I have manually checked via FTP, the files ARE there. When I check in my browser directly, wordpress gives me the 404 page.
Is this a .htaccess problem? I really don't get it.

edit:
below is the htaccess rule:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Could the problem be that first line after rewriteBase, stopping all other rules?
As it turned out, the child folders inside the plugins folder had various permissions set, which prevented some plugins or specific plugin files from loading.
Hello guys what can be the reason for this:
I have a folder "wallpapers" not related to my website (Wordpress) in the same web hosting and images inside. If i wanted to access them I would go to website.com/wallpapers/myimage.jpg and it worked!
But I noticed it doesn't work anymore now I see my wordpress site + error 404 inside the website.
I have tried to fix this disabled few plugins etc... but where should I look? What can be the reason? Maybe the htaccess?
Thanks!
Yes, I think your guess on the .htaccess is perfectly correct. If you enable permalinks in Wordpress it automatically creates, or tries to create (depending on permissions) the following .htaccess file;
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
The two lines in this that are relevant to you are;
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
What they are basically doing is making sure that every url request gets run through the index.php in the root except any files or directories that actually exist as separate files and directories outwith the Wordpress install (ie your wallpapers directory). So first of all I would make sure that your .htaccess looks like this.
I needed to do the same in the past, and it drove me nuts so if that can help here's what I've done. I had the default .htaccess wordpress created in my wordpress folder when activating the permalinks option, the folloowing :
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
for some reason...
I could access http://example.com/phpinfo.php fine,
but http://example.com/myfolder was returning a 404, despite (if I'm correct) the line RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d should allow me to show what was into that folder as it's existing and having the correct permissions (user:user chmoded 755)
after having tried everything I could find on the subject, I ended up creating a .htaccess into my folder "/myfolder"
with the unique following line in it :
Options +Indexes
And I finally got http://example.com/myfolder to answer the response 200 OK
I suppose this is not the best ever solution but it's the only one that worked for me and as I just need this to work for one or two folders, it did not need to be more adaptive / flexible
I am having a CRAZY error with Wordpress. When I create a new article or edit an old one, I cannot insert hotfile links that go after the first trailing slash.
I'm explaining it better. If in a post I do:
TEST
I can correctly create the article. If I do:
TEST
Or longer link, like:
TEST
I get an instant 403 error when updating the post from administration. This is crazy, and happens only with Hotfile links. Everything else works like a charm.
What could the error be? If it helps, i'm posting my .htaccess, that I never changed from my WP installation:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Already done repairing and optimization of MySQL DB. Kind thanks in advance to everyone.
I'm a regular WP developer, and I see little bugs like this all the time. Unfortunately, it usually means it's time to go through the tedious work of testing. The problem likely lies either with Apache/htaccess, or in a WP plugin or Theme.
To attempt to eliminate WP as the cause of this specific issue, I'd try creating a php file with the following in it:
<?
if (isset($_POST["field"]))
echo $_POST["field"];
?>
<form method='post'>
<input type='hidden' name='field' value='TEST'>
<input type='submit' value='Test'>
</form>
If clicking "Test" does not result in the same 403 error, then it's something happening with WP specifically. If it does result in a 403, then it's a much more annoying problem that you are going to want to take up with your hosting provider.
If it is a WP problem, the first thing I would do is to start deactivating plugins 1 by 1, starting with the plugins I think are the most likely culprits. If I have no reason to suspect one over another, I just disabled them all, 1 at a time. Once a plugin is disabled, I try to recreate the original issue. If the problem still happens, it's obvious that plugin wasn't at fault, and I reactivate it and test the next one. 9 times out of 10, my issue is found this way. Be careful when trying this, as some plugins will clear their settings when they're deactivated.
If that doesn't solve the issue, I'll try a different theme and see if that fixes it. Obviously if the problem is gone when you try a new theme, you know where your problem is. Again, some themes can have setting associated with them, and changing the theme can lose those settings.
Finally, check your wp-content/mu-plugins folder for plugins that are always active and don't always show up in your list of plugins.
I realize this post is as ancient as time itself but I've run into a similar problem took me forever to figure out what was going on until i realized all I had to do is add:
Options +FollowSymLinks
At the top of the .htaccess file and presto! It worked.
Options +FollowSymLinks
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Credit goes to this good man: http://www.coolestguyplanettech.com/403-forbidden-error-wordpress-htaccess/
I also had a similar issue, apparently wordpress has some problems with some bits of code I tried to add in my post. I managed to bypass the issue by surrounding the code in <pre> tags.
Mostly, 403 forbidden error is because of four reasons 1. File permission. 2. Issue with plugins. 3. Hotlink protection 4. issue with .htaccess file 5. Your CDN(Content Delivery Network). For solving this error you need to check all these aspects to remove the error.
check the file permission as you know
the file has permission for 644 and the directory 755
Deactivate the plugins. Sometimes you might get errors because of plugins
next you need to delete .htaccess file and create a new file with the below code
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Next you need to check hotlink protection for your site. As it proved your website to link media or files from other sites.
lastly, you need to check for CDN you can disable it to know if it causing error or not.
I know my answer is late in coming but just wanted to add my 2 cents.
I would recommend checking the .htaccess file to make sure it is similar to below.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
You could try adding Options +FollowSymLinks as adamj stated in his answer so the .htaccess would look similar to below.
Options +FollowSymLinks
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Check to ensure that no plugin are causing the issue. Disable all plugins to see if the issue persist. If it doesnt, it would be a process of elimination to figure out which one is the cause.
Finally, I have removed the .htaccess file and that also worked for me but no .htaccess file would means no URL rewrite unless your web server is otherwise configured.
I hope this helps someone.
