11 replies
Hi,

I have recently set up aWordpress site and when im in WP admin and click on a SEO plugin it goes to the "oops, that wasnt found" page of the same site.

I have tried deactivating all plugins, didnt work. Any advice from forum members that may have come across this problem.

Thanks

    You can try getting into your site through FTP. Once in go to the plugins directory (content>plugins) and delete the plugin you think is causing the problem. If deleting the one plugin doesn't work you can try deleting all plugins. Hopefully this will get you back to a clean slate.

    I hope this helps.

        Very strange. So, you have tried deactivating and removing all plugins? If so, where are you clicking to encounter the error?

          Yes, even deleted the SEO plugin and reinstalled it. Which means i deleted every plugin and then reinstalled the SEO one.

          I click on the name of the plugin below the 'settings' link. And it goes straight to the oops page.

    When this particular SEO plugin is removed do you have problems with other plugins? If not, maybe you should try a different SEO plugin. This plugin may not work on your version of WordPress.

      Thanks for your replies. When i delete this plugin, i the same problem with some others, some are ok. Im beginning to think its a dodgy theme.

      Or at least an incompatibility between the particular plugin(s) and the theme.

      Im using flexibility them 3. Which should be ok. very frustrating to think i have to change themes now.

    I have never used that theme before so I can't really comment on it. The themes I use the most are themes by StudioPress (aff. link). These are paid themes but I really like their rock solid Genesis Framework and the multitude of child themes available.

    Even better than the themes themselves is the support you get with your purchase. You get access to the exclusive forum that is moderated by many StudioPress developers and users. I have certainly learned a lot from this forum and have no problem making StudioPress the only templates I recommend.

    The SEO plugin edits your .htaccess file - delete the plugin and change your .htaccess back to the default:

    Code:
    
    # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    # END WordPress

    Try to look in to the plugin to see if there is extra coding that might cause the page error.

    Forgot to add this in my other reply: after you fix the .htaccess, change the permalinks to Default and then back to the custom ones you were using.
