I change or add pages ... but they wont show up on the internet?

[rockybloggs143]

Hi guys, I am hoping someone can help me here, my hosting company has tried to help me but they keep saying that it must be my browser. Its not, as I have tried in firefox and ie on two different computers.


What is happening is, I try to change a page, or even add a whole new page, but they wont show up on the internet.

What is strange is that for instance, I completely deleted the index page and made a new one, but the old one still shows up on the internet! But in cpanel, if I click the edit HTML button, it will show the new page.

Not only that but since this started happening, 5 days ago, my stats are no longer showing. The past 5 days show 0. But my hosting company says that when they go in and look, they can see the stats.

I attached a screen shot of my cpanel file manager, as you can see, there is a page named "graphics"
yet if you go to: http://www.theweekendworker.com/graphics.htm it comes up with a 404 error page!

It is really frustrating, I cannot update, or add anything!
Thanks for the help!

This looks to me to be more of a wordpress blog issue than a cPanel issue. That is a wordpress blog, correct?

The inability to access custom HTML pages outside of the WordPress script may be due to Apache mod_rewrite directives from WordPress; these entries are located in the file named ".htaccess" located in the same directory as WordPress.

I recommend to temporarily rename the file ".htaccess" to effectively disable the mod_rewrite entries if they exist then re-test accessing the custom HTML pages.

Be aware that if you remove the mod_rewrite, your wordpress permalink will gone, but you have not choice because you have to have the graphics.htm work.

I will suggest you change the WordPress permalink to default setting and try to add # to each of the line as following script from the .htaccess.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
