Changed URL Now Theme is Not Working

  • I followed the steps to changing my redesigned WordPress site and move it from its /beta folder to the root folder. I had it working minus a few error issues I think were caused by WooCommerce. I am a designer so this isn’t my strong suit. I used a PHP code to search and replace the URL and everything stopped working so I went back to my backup and put all the files in the root folder and now nothing is working.

    I called my hosting company and the customer service rep says it all looks OK to him, but I still can’t get my site up and running. It is just asking me to re-install WordPress.

    Any ideas? Thanks!

  • Can you provide a link to your site please?

    If your hosting company can see the site, perhaps you simply need to clear your cache.

    Oh yes! Link is hound-works.com

    The hosting company cannot see my site. They see the same option that I need to install WordPress, but looking through my PHP files in my folder everything looks correct as far as changing the URL info over.

    Oh sorry, I misread your thread.
    I see the installation screen too.

    What I would do is go to your Cpanel and go to your phpmyadmin.
    In the wp_options table make sure that the siteurl and home are both set to
    https://www.hound-works.com

    I would also double check the settings in the wp-config.php file to make sure that you are connected to the right database.

    Thanks for your response. I’m in my phpmyadmin and I don’t see the wp_options table. I only have three tables relating to WooCommerce. Should I have more than this?

    @cmfay,

    Yes, you should have 11 tables that are for WordPress itself. You can see each of the tables used by WordPress 3.4 here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Database_Description#Table_Details

    Looks like maybe the PHP script I used interfered with my database? I looked back at my backup DB and all the tables are there. Let’s see if I can restore my backup DB and go from there. Thanks for the help.

    So an update, with the help of my hosting company we were able to restore the backup DB, but we needed to create a new name. Now I have a few error messages you go to my URL hound-works.com. They aren’t sure they can help me with this, I am waiting to hear back. I am not sure if this has to do with the DB change or changing the URL?

    Here are the errors.
