Hiya,
It sounds like you might have a conflict that’s leading to some errors, is it just the editor content that is blank, so you have the menus and such still, or is the whole screen blank?
Are you able to check your JavaScript console for errors for us (following the steps at https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors#Step_3:_Diagnosis, you don’t need to do the first two steps, only the third one)?
GET http://142.93.73.63/wp-json/wp/v2/ 404 (Not Found)
GET http://142.93.73.63/wp-json/jetpack/v4/jitm?message_path=wp%3Apost%3Aadmin_notices&query=&_wpnonce=ed3500bc99 404 (Not Found)
Those two errors are in the console. I have a console.log of n which is an object in between the two.
that last one seems to be present on all my admin pages. And I hard cleared my cache.
All right, we’ll try something real quick, if you go to Settings > Permalinks and hit save there twice, does that affect it?
I have no wp-json folder on the server Is this the problem? It’s not in the 4.9.7 that I uploaded. I expected 4.9.8 to upload all the files it didn’t give me an error.
Ahh, so there are two possible reasons for this:
- There is no
.htaccess file in your WordPress directory, when you saved the permalinks page it should have told you that you need to manually save some content to this file if WordPress could not make it by it self
- Your Apache webserver does not have
mod_rewrite enabled, it is needed for WordPress to use pretty permalinks. If you are the server owner this can be added with a2enmod rewrite, but you will need to restart Apache after enabling it.
I didn’t get any errors with .htaccess I added that file. Let me check if mod_rewrite is enabled with a fresh install that’s likely the case.
enabled rewrite, restarted apache2 and redid the permalinks and nothing. Heading home so will check back for the next suggestion when I can.
I’m still seeing a default Apache 404 page, so one of my two items above is still in effect, what is the content of your .htaccess file? (and settings is your Permalinks set to?)
# 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
That all looks correct as well, in your Apache config file for the site, is AllowOverride All declared? (See the Digital Ocean article on setting up .htaccess support for details)
Thank you. That’s what it was. I had to go into the conf file for the virutal host to do it. Setting up servers is not my day job so I forgot a step. Thank you!
My pleasure, I’m glad you got it all sorted!
