Title: All URL's seem to be wrong
Post by: Tonyvic on July 05, 2025, 03:07:04 PM
My site was working earlier today but due to Google Search Console showing a 403 error for my Domain I foolishly asked my hosting company to check. Now I only see the home page with no CSS plus any links in there show as 'URL not found'.
I contacted the Host again and was told they are not trained in forum software. Huh

My site is https://www.radiocorner.uk/ (https://www.radiocorner.uk/) any help would be appreciated.

Would help to know what they did to break it - but I'd start with repair_settings.

Check and fix your paths and urls with repair_settings, after making sure of what they should actually be.
What is repair_settings.php? (https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Repair_settings.php)

Thanks for the reply @Lex, I did try repair_settings.php But that also gave URL Not Found  (Now removed from server).

They pointed my domain to the website as it didn't work for me on their website, that is when it went wrong. Before that my forum could be reached on the full URL: www.radiocorner.uk/forum/index.php (http://www.radiocorner.uk/forum/index.php)

I am really confused now.

Thanks @Illori it's like banging your head against a brick wall with them. The second agent I spoke to did get the domain pointed to the index page but as you can see there nothing more that works. I was hoping someone on here could aim me where/what to check.

If everything worked in the beginning, I'd simply tell them to undo whatever they did as it seems to have made things worse.

Many thanks for the fast responses, I gave in & phoned the host again. Luckily the guy I spoke to this time had better understanding of the problem, he corrected whatever the other one had corrupted and now my site is where it should be. https://www.radiocorner.uk/ (https://www.radiocorner.uk/)

Cheers,
