Clear all cache
If you have a cache plugin or use server caching, clear all the cache, as the change of paths has significantly changed the website’s structure.
Run a Frontend Test
Go to WP Ghost > Change Paths, click the Frontend Test button and follow the server configuration instructions, if any.
Check path configuration
Review the custom wp-includes path you’ve set to ensure no typos or errors are causing the issue.
Revert changes
Revert to the original wp-includes path settings temporarily to determine if the path change is causing the issue.
Plugin compatibility
Deactivate the other plugins and check if the website works correctly. If it works, activate the other plugins one by one to identify the one that is not working correctly with the custom wp-includes path.
Test with the default theme
Switch to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty-Twenty-Five) to check if your custom theme is causing the issue.
Plugin settings
Review the settings of any specific plugin that may be causing the issue, as some might need adjustments after changing the wp-includes path.
However, the root cause is often server configuration, especially if the rewrite rules haven’t been correctly applied. It’s essential to follow the instructions in WP Ghost according to your server type and ensure proper configuration.
