website showing index.html file code

Hello Team,

I have done setup of wordpress. My website was running fine from last 2 months. Today I tried to enable SSL lets encrypt certificate. My website stopped to work. I tried to solve this issue but now it is showing the code of index.php file <?php /

  • Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
  • wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
  • @package WordPress */

/**

  • Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
  • @var bool */ define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true );

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */ require( dirname( FILE ) . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ ); **

Please help me.

I hope you have found a solution more than a year later – but I actually ran into the same issue just a moment ago.

In my case I had forgot to enmod the php version I was trying to use.

a2enmod php7.4

Not sure if that’s the same as in your case, but hopefully you or someone else find it helpful.

Hello team,

I have replaced the theme and permalinks but I am still facing the same issue. I am also not able to access my admin panel

Hello, @Web1developer

Can you please let me know if you’ve tried changing your theme and also changing the permalinks type?

Let me know how it goes.

Regards, Alex
