    My sites name was https://www.triplecutt.info, I installed WP in the main directory, life as I knew it worked fine

    I contacted bounceweb and changed my domain name to NSproductions.info
    now my WP and PHPbored think that they are in Triplecutt directory still and do not work,(they do show up on my file manager though, so they are indeed in existence) nor will they uninstall, it is critical I do not lose this files, anyway to get them to know where they are properly? I cannot lose these files

    Changing the URL directly in the database

    If you know how to access phpMyAdmin on your host, then you can edit these values directly to get you up and running again.

    1. Backup your database and save the copy off-site.
    2. Login to phpMyAdmin.
    3. Click the link to your Databases.
    4. A list of your databases will appear. Choose the one that is your WordPress database.
    5. All the tables in your database will appear on the screen.
    6. From the list, look for wp_options. Note: The table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed it when installing.
    7. Click on the small icon indicated as Browse.
    8. A screen will open with a list of the fields within the wp_options table.
    9. Under the field option_name, scroll down and look for siteurl.
    10. Click the Edit Field icon which usually is found at the far left at the beginning of the row.
    11. The Edit Field window will appear.
    12. In the input box for option_value, carefully change the URL information to the new address.
    13. Verify this is correct and click Go to save the information.
    14. You should be returned to your wp-options table.
    15. Look for the home field in the table and click Edit Field. Note There are several pages of tables inside wp_options. Look for the > symbol to page through them.
    16. In the input box for option_value, carefully change the URL information to the new address.
    17. Verify this is correct and click Go to save the information.
    18. Delete the folder wp-content/cache (this is a new folder added with WordPress 2.0).
    19. That is it.

    This is what I did, I am stuck on step 18

    Skip step 18. There’s no cache folder in later versions of WP.

    Hmm, anyone else have any input on this matter? I am terribly depressed

    should I follow more of the steps? or just that category? because theres a lot of directions on that page, and I only followed the one posted above
