Login issues

  • Hoping someone can help me.

    I have been building my wordpress site at one domain, and have always planned once I was ready to launch the “live version” to change the blog address (url) while still keeping wordpress installed at the current url where the software/cms/databases exist.

    Today I switched the blog address to the url I want it to be when I go live…I updated my permalinks, no problem there everything looks good…

    But now it is as if the site does not know I am logged in, I don’t have admin options on frontpages like I used to, and all comments sections are closed displaying “log in to comment” and when I hit “login” both on pages and in the meta widget, it does take me to my admin backend in a logged in state.

    thought maybe a theme issue? but ruled that out quick, I have tried numerous themes and get the same result. I have also checked for plug-in conflicts etc. De-activated all plug-ins and the issue still exists.

    When I switch the blog address back to the same url as the wordpress address, the issue is resolved, but that’s not the address I want my readers and users to see…

    Hoping someone can shed some light, I am sure this is most likely a simple issue to overcome, but am overlooking something, or just don’t have enough php knowledge to debug it.

    You must give more details about this “plan”. If you are talking about two different domains – it will never work.

    thanks for the response moshu!

    yes they are different domains – and it seems from your answer what I am looking to do (to save time and a reinstall on another domain, and cash) is not possible.

    (Work I am doing here is for a recently formed non-profit, and pro-bono, so trying to save as much time and expense as possible, for them, hence no staging environment, little server space…yada, yada, kind of working with what I got here, with few resources.)

    Perfect not a problem, will just do a clean install on the other domain, add my customized plugins and theme. Was just hoping perhaps there was a workaround, that could save me some time…and them some money in terms of hosting etc.

    thanks again! you saved me much time and frustration ??
