Google description from index.php file after moving site to sub directory

  • Hi,

    My site was originally installed into the root directory of my domain and working OK.

    I needed to move it to a sub-directory per the instructions here – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory.

    After the move everything is still working OK – accept the Google description in search results.

    When my site now appears in Google’s search results – it no longer displays any of the info entered into Yoast SEO on my home page – instead it simply shows the text from the index.php file copied into the root directory as part of the move.

    Eg

    mysite.com
    https://www.mysite.com
    Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.

    Does anyone know what I did wrong in the process – and how to fix it please?

    Thank you.

  • The index.php file just below the three main WordPress folders seem to be broken. Just check if it has the opening tag and other elements.

    Hi Krishna,

    Thank you for your reply – but the index.php file in the root directory seems OK – please see below – 

    <?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./goldcoast/wp-blog-header.php');

    What do you have in your robots.txt file?
    Can you post a link to your site?
