I lost my WP formatting after trying to move my blog within my site…

You’ll have to access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel) and manually change the siteurl and home values back to https://rootdownfitness.com

I finally got to my phpMyAdmin through the GoDaddy control center, and when I clicked on my database it says “No tables found in database.” I am relatively new to this whole WordPress thing, especially this back-end database stuff, perhaps I am missing something…

Thanks!

Perhaps you selected the wrong the wrong database? No tables = no blog content.

I only have one database to choose from…

Here is an article I found but have no idea how to change “root.root” to “mysql.mysql”, not that I would even know if that is the problem!

Would I mess anything up by moving everything back to the subdirectory I changed the URL to in the WordPress Admin to see if I am able to move the blog again???

Thanks Again!

Yes, try moving all of the files back to where they were originally. You might be able to login to the admin panel after that. If you can, go to Settings/General, change the two URL values to the wherever you intend to move the blog to, then move the files again.

Just to be sure, I should move index.php, all of the wp-XXXXX files and folders, and xmlrpc.php ?

Yes, follow this guide:

Ok, so I figured out (thanks to wp-config) that I was in fact on the wrong database! I followed the step-by-step instructions and changed the all of the URLs in phpMyAdmin to rootdownfitness.com/workout_blog, and yet, still no blog!

I am getting:
“Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at rootdownfitness.com Port 80″

Is there any other ideas that can get my blog up again!?!

-Thanks

Try resetting your plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename everything except the /twentyten/ directory. This will force the Twenty Ten theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.

If neither of those help, internal server errors are usually described in more detail in the server error log. If you have access to your server error log, generate the error again, note the date and time, then immediately check your server error log for anything useful. If you don’t have access to your server error log, ask your hosting provider to look for you.

Presently, https://rootdownfitness.com/workout_blog/ appears to be the only directory pulling up content. Reviewing your links, it appears that WordPress is looking for your content at:

https://rootdownfitness.com/workout_blog/workout_blog/

You’ll need to update your default directory either in your database directly, in your WordPress administrative settings or by modifying your wp-login.php file. Use “Opton 2” here:

This should work for you.
