Can’t Login to Admin Panel after changing Blog Address

Fix the urls: https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/

Remember that when dabbling about with those URI values, they have to be real.

Have you looked over this article? Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

Yes, I’ve looked at the article. The URI values were really, I merely changed one from:

https://mysite/blog to https://mysite.com

The issue is that the site itself seems to resolve (non-themed) and plugs in work but trying to access anything on the Admin panel doesn’t work (urls seem broken).

Update: I checked the MySQL DB and siteurl had a forward slash (i.e. https://mysite.com/). I deleted it. The home function didn’t have a forward slash.

This doesn’t appear to have solved the problem.

So you had a working install at https://mysite/blog.

Now you’re changing your URI values to https://mysite/

That implies that you either read and followed instructions from the Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory article, or moved the entire blog up to the root.

Which?

Yes, I’ve read the article. It was working fine. I simply changed the Blog Address line to https://mysite.com (or maybe https://mysite.com/).

That’s when things broke. The WP directory was never moved, its still in https://mysite.com/blogs

The site is accessible at its base url (https://logicbank.com) but it isn’t themed. The permalink structure seems OK for the content pages but is broken for any Admin pages (except the Registration page and Login pages). I simply can’t get into the Admin panel … (urls are broken).

Update:

I can know login, and access My Profile (again non themed) but any other Admin page (Dashboard, Write, Manage, etc.,) generates a 404 error.

Update 2:

OK. Slowly getting to the bottom of things. I can now log in and see the Dashboard (no theme at all).

First Login page:

https://mysite.com/blog/wp-admin/

My Profile is in the url format:

https://mysite.com/blog/wp-admin/profile.php

When I try to click on any Admin panel link it then drop the /blog/ directory in the url and goes to (i.e. https://mysite.com/wp-admin/).

Adding /blog/ to the url manually gets me to the page.

Still, where to I go from here …

Update 3: Fixed! Seems OK now. Thank you for your help. When I manually input /blog/ in the Admin urls and could get to Options, make the changes (Blog url was still at https://mysite.com), logout. Upon login everything seemed OK.

Thanks for your support!

Phew. That site really worked for me, thanks ??
Really really; you have no idea how relieved I am.

seraphim.

Your WordPress address (URI) should be: https://mysite/blog
Your Blog address (URI) should be: https://mysite

In your website’s root folder, you should have an index.php file that says:

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
