    My brother you just speaks/spoke ENGLISH LANGUAGE. How simple this is with your explanation. Very Brief & Clear. Even the deaf can under your explanation. The rest channels make a VERY LOUD NOISE but failed to explain it the way you do it. THANKS A MILLION. Am going to hammer the SUBSCRIBED BUTTON Now, hope I wouldn't get it broken....

    • @hostgatorUS
      @hostgatorUS  4 года назад

      Hey Elmer, good question.
      This broken link/404 error will only appear on the page that's broken! If you followed the instructions in the video and you're still getting a 404, check to see if the page was deleted accidentally as a 404 usually means the content can't be found.
      You can also reach out to our support if it's giving you trouble at 1866.964.2867 or helpchat.hostgator.com

      Hi Luis, if you just signed up and created a new domain name, some features might not be activated yet until domain propagation completes. Takes DNS anywhere from 24 to 48 hrs for propagation to complete. You should be able to access HostGator Portal and cPanel. Contact Live Support anytime if you need more help.

    • @hostgatorUS
      @hostgatorUS  2 года назад

      Double check the domain and make sure you're pointing it to the correct package and nameservers.
      Just adding the domain to the Addon domains section of the cPanel doesn't route it to the correct place. You can point your domain in the Domains tab in your customer portal (portal.hostgator.com)

    What to do if I can't access any wp-admin subpage

    • @hostgatorUS
      @hostgatorUS  Год назад

      It depends on what you're seeing when you type that in. It could be a multitude of issues. For example, if the wp-admin page is taking you to something like a 404 page that looks like your website, there's a good chance one of your plugins (likely a security or url changing one) is not set up correctly and preventing your access.
      In the example case, or any other just contact our support and we'll be happy to help you get back in.

      Hi G Florida, if you still receive 404 not found errors when you click on links in your WordPress check the .htaccess file there may be missing code or code that needs updating. Make sure the correct domain name and URL is correct and configured properly too.
