    The problem I am having now is when I try to change the appearance under the appearance category in the dashboard I get this error message.

    ‘Not Found
    The requested URL /wp-admin/options.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/1.3.33 Server at danoreef.com Port 80′

    Does any one know how to resolve this issue?

    Does the file exist? It should be in blog/wp-admin/ on your server.

    It’s possibly you didn’t move everything.

    Yes it does exist it is in the blog/wp-admin/ I beleive the problem lies in the fact that I changed the blog to have its own directory. problem my index.php file is on the root and the wp-admin is in a sub directory named blog

    Well yes and no ?? The move you did lacks the ability to break ‘partially’. That is, either your site is up at https://danoreef.com/ and https://danoreef.com/blog/wp-admin or it’s not. Since it’s up, and since the wp-admin seems to work, it’s possible that you didn’t complete the move.

    Did you copy the .htaccess down and edit appropriately?

    Can you get to https://danoreef.com/blog/wp-admin/options.php directly?

    yes I can get to https://danoreef.com/blog/wp-admin/options.php directly it looks different though.

    Did you copy the .htaccess down and edit appropriately? What changes was I supposed to make to this other than move it to the root. Actually I didn’t seem to have the htaccess file when I did the move, but after I move the index.php to the root, the .htaccess file appeared on the root all by itself.

    What do you mean ‘looks different’? Screenshot? ??

    Also: What’s in your .htaccess file?

    Thread Starter danoreef

    (@danoreef)

    this is what in the .htaccess file on my root directory. There is another on in the blog folder.

    # -FrontPage-

    IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

    <Limit GET POST>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
    </Limit>
    <Limit PUT DELETE>
    order deny,allow

    </Limit>

    # BEGIN WordPress

    # END WordPress

    How do i put up a screen shot on this forum?

    Post it on imageshack or something and link to it ??

    However. Put this in:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    I don’t think it’ll matter, mind, but that’s the standard.

    should I replace whats there? or just add this code?

    Thread Starter danoreef

    (@danoreef)

    I replaced it with the code you gave me. now at least it doesn’t give me the 404 page. It still doesn’t work but after I hit save changes it loads my home page. the changes don’t take effect.

    heres the link to the screen shot https://danoreef.com/Screenshot.jpg

    The page loads now, good. Don’t mess with it unless you’re really familiar with those settings ??

    You’re changing the apperances page and it doesn’t save? Is that correct?

    (@danoreef)

    It is fixed now. Thanks to the themes author, she was able to tell me what code to fix it was in the themes/functions/themes-menu.php file I had to change line 48 to

    <form method=”post” action=”options.php”>

    Thank you for your help.
