 * Hi,
 * recently I had a problem with my Shop page (link above). The page suddenly has
   majority of empty area but it works sometimes (then another bug activates after
   Shop problem dissapears…).
 * Anyway, I have been trying to solve it for last 5 days without any progress. 
   My (SiteGround) host told me this after a lot of tickets:

 * Here is another weird thing, I created a backup because I needed my shop to work,
   and its fine now, but my homepage is messed up like this now: [http://prntscr.com/gujvu0](http://prntscr.com/gujvu0)
   
   So, anytime when someone types in exactly this: [http://www.sailboatrc.com](http://www.sailboatrc.com)(
   without https), my page is loaded with “double link” as shown in SS.
 * This problem was solved by my host support, but then they mess up my Shop which
   is more important to me…

 * No matter who stops by these forums, the important thing to remember is that 
   they are publicly accessible, everyone can see this topic, and that means that
   all the major search engines can cache it too.
 * If you shared something like a password before Steve removed it, please do change
   that password immediately.
 * As for your site, it does seem to be working properly for me: [http://d.pr/i/MqnsWH/4FwPiEdq](http://d.pr/i/MqnsWH/4FwPiEdq)

 * Yeah, the site works fine now because I did a backup, BUT now there is my ‘old
   bug’ back – if you type in manually in URL [http://www.sailboatrc.com](http://www.sailboatrc.com)
   you will actually load on: [https://sailboatrc.com/sailboatrc.com/](https://sailboatrc.com/sailboatrc.com/)
   
   Check it out here: [http://prntscr.com/guqrbp](http://prntscr.com/guqrbp) So,
   all the newcomers who typle [http://www.sailboatrc.com](http://www.sailboatrc.com)(
   without https) will get messed up landing page.
 * If I fix this bug by editing .htaccess file as recommended by my host provider,
   then my Shop page stops working…
    Such a weird thing really, I am killing myself
   for 6 days in a row now with no results.

 * Please show your .htaccess. There’s probably a 301 redirect for SSL that’s incorrect.

 * Well, I have two, this one is from ‘higher tier map, /public_html/.htaccess:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine on
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sailboatrc.com$ [NC,OR]
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.sailboatrc.com$
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !sailboatrc.com/
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
       RewriteRule (.*) /sailboatrc.com/$1 [L]
       ```
   
 * and this one is from subfolder, public_html/public_html/sailboatrc.com:
 *     ```
       # HTTPS forced by SG-Optimizer
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
       </IfModule>
       # END HTTPS
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * BUT, this was already solved with my Customer Support member who resolved it 
   this way:
 * > “Thank you for getting back Josip,

 * AFTER we did that, the “Double link problem” was gone, but my Shop page was messed
   up with some bug, and then we are back to my first post up above in which I have
   explained that already…

 * Using the default WP .htaccess file, reset your permalinks. go to settings->permalinks
   and click “save”. See if that fixes the “shop” problem.

 * I tried, no help. The same problems remain so I did a backup again to have functional
   Shop at least. Either the Shop works and I have “double link as homepage” problem,
   or the home page loads correct only [http://www.sailboatrc.com](http://www.sailboatrc.com)
   but then my Shop is totally messed up with some bug. (missing .css file from 
   fusion elements…)
 * The one solution could be this which is too advanced for me:
 * “What you can do in order to resolve the issue is copy the css files from the
   previous location to /home/josipm22/public_html/wp-content/uploads/fusion-scripts.”

 * I tried to avoid my lack of programming skills and while the Shop was working
   on my site, I turned on a redirect option from ||www.sailboatrc.com|| to ||https://
   sailboatrc.com|| but then my Shop page got this:
 * “404 – Not Found
    The page you are trying to access does not exist. If this error
   persists, please contact the website webmaster. If you are the webmaster of this
   site make sure that:
 * You have uploaded correctly your files to the public_html directory which is 
   the web-root of your account;
    You have not misspelled the URL. Bear in mind 
   that letters are case sensitive and no white spaces are recommended; In case 
   you have applied SEO – SEF URL rewriting rules, make sure you have re-named the
   htaccess.txt file to .htaccess. If there is already a non-empty .htaccess file
   read it and make sure the necessary rules are un-commented.”
 * So even that quick fix wasn’t able to help me out…

 * Ok, that’s fine.
 * Next, edit each .htaccess file and rename it to just htaccess (remove the dot).
 * If that solves the main problem (this will cause other problems, so only focus
   on the main problem), add the dot back to each htaccess file until you find the
   one causing the problem.

 * Dear James,
 * So, I have tried to erase my double site from cPanel (somehow I have double site
   copied, have no idea who did that…), and I did delete it successfully. So, I 
   deleted first my sailboatrc.com folder and then I saw how that messed up my site(
   Shop not working), so I used backup, and in next turn I deleted the second copied
   site and saw how that messed up my site (404 error). Once I edited .htaccess 
   file to default WordPress code, and once I copied the plugins folder which had
   that one file missing (or was corrupted) – that was messing up my shop page, 
   I had [http://www.sailboatrc.com](http://www.sailboatrc.com) link working excellent
   and with it my Shop page was working great. I was so happy, finally, I copied
   healthy plugins folder instead of the corrupted one, and I have deleted double
   site inside my host data, and my www. link was working great! That lasted for
   about a day, and then again somehow my Shop got messed up, and I only remember
   that I updated some plugins in the meanwhile. So I am back to square one again,
   I used backup again…
    Does that mean that I will run on old plugins now? If it
   does, wouldn’t that slow my page down in future and even cause security issues
   in future? 🙁
