John, did you do any changes in .htaccess files?
John
John Oct 23 '12
no, I didn't.

John, that is very strange. Software couldn't just disappear...Can you check on your server whether it is actually there?

Also, can you check whether links in your header are pointing to correct place? Right now they point to forum/forum  forum/blogs  and etc.

Aliia, it is very strange.. The software is on my server and links are pointing to correct place. The software is in "forum" folder. If you'd like, I can send you my ftp details. I really don't know what to do...

John, I renamed WP's .htaccess file to _htaccess and Oxwall started working. Try doing this yourself.

Aliia, thank you, now I know where is the problem. Changing htaccess file would be easier way to fix this. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do this.

Thanks Aliia. I tried ErrorDocument 401 "Unauthorized" and that didn't work :(

Deactivate all your plugins the reactivate them one at a time , it worked for me.

Hi Pete. I am not able to access my admin panel so I can't do anything..

The problem is with Word Press's .htaccess file but I have no idea how to change it.

Why is it so hard to get some help here? My oxwall doesn't work AT ALL and I am not able to fix it myself. It's been almost a week!

Did you tried having the default .htaccess file content from oxwall zip file in the oxwall directory?

Is wordpress a sub-dir or the oxwall?
John
John Oct 26 '12
The default .htaccess file is the same as the one from oxwall zip file.


Wordpress is located in http://sitename.com

oxwall is in http://sitename.com/forum

OK, someone told me to add in oxwall htaccess file this instruction:


RewriteBase /forum


That's all! I so can't believe oxwall support wasn't able to help me...

You need to modify the wp .htaccess file.

There are lot of links available in google related to this.. to allow other scripts in a wp sub-directory.

For me your forum link opened fine.
