Fresh Install Own Directory Blank Page

  • Did a fresh install of 3.4.1 – and it everything is functioning using the default settings:
    WordPress Address (URL): https://www.mysite.net/wp
    Site Address (URL): https://www.mysite.net/wp

    But, when I change the site address to https://www.mysite.net, the admin pages still work but all pages return a the good ole white screen of doom. I have followed the instructions for giving wordpress its own directory (and have successfully done this on several other sites).
    -copied index.php and .htaccess from /wp to / and changed
    require('./wp-blog-header.php');
    to
    require('./wp/wp-blog-header.php');
    on /index.php

    Tried refreshing my permalinks, switching themes, clearing my browser cache and data, tried multiple browsers, getting no errors…

    If I go to https://www.mysite.net/wp, I do get a response from wordpress – but of course it is a page not found (this is the same behavior exhibited by a site that has wordpress in its own directory that is fully functional).

    – Open up your wp-config.php file
    try adding the following to it:
    define( ‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://www.example.com;
    define( ‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://www.example.com;

    -If that does not resolve the issue, access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin and manually check, in the wp_options table, the siteurl and home values and make sure they are correct.

    Make sure you backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case.

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    I did confirm the entries in wp_options were correct by looking at them directly in the database. Defining those values in wp-config.php did not work either (this was a good suggestion, as it has worked for other situations in the past).

    Any other ideas? This seems rather odd…

    I have the same problem. Is this a bug on 3.4.1 ?

    No – it’s not. And please post your own topic.
