Getting 404 error, How to do I access my blog or entries?
-
For some reason my entire blog http://havingnothingbettertodo.wordpress.com is completely inaccessible. I am able to retrieve the entries through the wordpress app in android but unable to view the actual blog on any device that I have. I have checked with multiple browsers – chrome on android, chrome on PC, IE11 on PC etc. I am able to access some of the settings of my account and the rest remain inaccessible.
Are all my blog entries lost..can someone help? Please note problem is with main page as well as individual entries.
I donot use any special software to post blog entries…just wordpress android app. I came across solutions involving permalinks but unable to find the permalinks settings anywhere in my dashboard.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. I see your blog is private, so I’m tagging this for staff so they can help you troubleshoot this as I can’t view your blog to check. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and be patient while waiting.

Hi there,
I checked your blog and I’m able to view it here: https://havingnothingbettertodo.wordpress.com/
All of your content is safe there, so you don’t need to worry about that. It’s possible there’s a connection issue between your computer and WordPress.com — are you having trouble accessing any other WordPress.com sites?
For example, please try opening these links:
If you also get an error when you try to visit those links, please let me know! If not, I can continue investigating to see why you’re getting that 404 error just on your site.

Hello
Thank you for the response…I was able to access all the three sites that you mentioned in your post but my own blog remains inaccessible!
I am also trying to find the reason at my end to ensure its not a connection problem…currently I am accessing the web through openDNS configuration for DNS servers in my devices. I am going to change that and try again.
Will update here if that works… -
Ok ..even changing the DNS servers did not work :( But I am glad to know you were able to access the blog and tell me that the posts are atleast safe!

Hi there,
It could be that your internet service provider (ISP) is not connecting to your site. (Sometimes that happens if the ISP purposefully or accidentally blocks your site.) Who is your internet provider?
One way to check that connection is to do a traceroute. (We have instructions for doing a traceroute that you can follow, if you need.) You can paste the results of the traceroute in your reply here or email us with that information, and I can take a look at it for you.

Thank you so much for the reply. I did a tracert and to my surprise nothing went wrong there…so I opened the browser to see if my blog is opening and it did!! :)
I seriously don’t know what the problem was but I can access my blog now..Thank you once again for your kind help and support. I really appreciate it!
Have a great day ahead! -
I’m so glad your blog is working for you now! :) If you run into any further trouble with it, please let me know.
