I Need HELP! The blog is broken…

  • I am not the person who put the wordpress blog on my bosses website so I don’t know much about it. I need to re-design the folder structure to include some new folders in the website. Here is my issue. I am taking a .php file that is currently located in the root directory of the site. The blog itself is contained inside a separate .php which is the left navigation bar. This left navigation is then an include file in all the other pages of this website. I really didn’t think this would be a big issue…I was wrong. I copied the .php file and moved it into the new directory. Of course it asked if I wanted to update the links. Yes. Just to double check, I looked through the code to make sure the paths were pointing to the correct locations. Everything looks fine. But, when uploaded to the site…it’s completely broken. I feel like i must be missing something really small? Here are 2 links. The first link is a duplicate TestWebsite folder on the server to make sure I wasn’t bringing the existing site down with changes. Then the second link is the proposed change with the additional folder added in. Neither one is working but the testwebsite folder is working better than the other. I am at my wits end! The 3rd link is what the page “should” look like.

  • Here are a couple of places to start:

    or
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

    There are some others, I am not the expert here but if you can put things back where they were so things work again then move WordPress based on the above guidelines – WordPress can be moved either all the files or just a couple of files – but there is some database linkage that needs to be preserved and updated – the sequence is very important – there should be at least 8 threads in the last 24 hours along the line of “I moved my blog and now it is broken”

    If things are really mixed up there are advanced ways of fixing things by going into MyPHP and editing parts of the database – way above my pay grade on those things – backup everything if you have not already and go slow –

    Sorry I can’t be of more help – some of the Moderators are geniuses with move problems – with a bit of luck one of them will drop in –

    Good luck
