Major Problem Solved – Get Your Own WordPress Development Superhero
‘Oh, *$%@ing hell!’
I can’t remember exactly, but I’m pretty sure that was one of the first things I said at about 1:30pm on Saturday.
I was busy working on my website, I’d updated a plugin or two and was busy adding the video and form that you can see on the right of the blog. I refreshed the page to double-check that the front page was as I wanted it.
And then it happened.
The front page started redirecting to the ‘Confirm Your Subscription’ page. I had no idea why and tried looking through every bit of code I could find to see why it had happened.
In fact, I ended up spending hours on The Warrior Forum trying to find an expert. Even when I deleted the page, it kept redirecting to the page and returning a 404 error (the error that happens when a page can’t be found or no longer exists). The Warriors were helpful, but I didn’t have time to implement all their suggestions as I was about to go out. Also, I wasn’t sure how expert they were at WordPress.
By this stage I was raging with frustration… It appeared that my website was really screwed up and that I may start losing traffic and looking a little incompetent at the same time.
