Links on Modx-powered website not working

bittabola — Nov 30, 2016, 12:04 AM

Hi, guys!

My client's website was (apparently) hacked and a bunch of files renamed to .php.suspected and the links on the website are not working — the front page keeps reloading.

So I renamed all .suspected files back to original, but the links still don't work.

The website is — http://www.goingwild.org/index.html. When you click on links, no new pages open. Instead, the main page is reloaded.

I know this is a very outdated website, but I am moving to WordPress. I just need to see the content in the pages.

Thank you!

Your website is set to use friendly url's, that's why your links are called using the alias and the usual reason why they can't be reached is a problem with the .htaccess in the root folder

You should always be able to reach the site using "index.php?id=xx" even if friendly url's are active, but your links won't point to the ID's, you will need to know them to be able to call them in the url

Compare your .htaccess file with the original version found in the download for the version you have

What version of Evo are you using ?

Tried your .htaccess file in the root ?

You should also read the posts in the Forum e.g here

What should I do with the htaccess? It looks like this now:

# BEGIN SYSTEM API
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !myclearcode$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ia/(.*)$ assets/snippets/wayfinder/configs/wp-conten.php?$1 [L]

# END SYSTEM API


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

As above ^

Or you can login and view the pages individually, or you can just use the raw php id tags to navigate ie: http://www.goingwild.org/index.php?id=2

Thanks a lot, mate! Works like a charm
