site and admin missing

This should let you log-in: https://distinctivedog.com/wordpress/wp-login.php

Just changing the location under Setting >> General without doing the rest of the story is real bad. If you want to run your site from the root these should help:

When I “moved” my site from a sub-directory to the root I did not do anything in the functions.php so I have not a clue what you did or did not do there, but I suspect it was not so good.

One of your links is distinctivedog/wordpress and it is missing the .com part of the string, (that was the “← Back to Distinctive Dog Treats” bottom link on the log-in page) might be just a spelling error or two gave you the wrong turn. A bunch of your other links are missing the “.com” part so you probably have a spelling issue somewhere.

https://distinctivedog.com/wordpress/%E2%80%9D/wordpress/about/distinctive-dog-story – – has a problem with and extra Quote and wordpress – https://distinctivedog.com/wordpress/about/distinctive-dog-story – does work.

This should give you some help to start.

https://distinctivedog.com/wordpress/wp-login.php takes me to a login page, but I cannot log in. With my user name and password it takes me to: https://www1.dlinksearch.com/25165003/distinctivedog/wordpress/wp-login.php.

I can get to my site at https://www.distinctivedog.com/wordpress but the theme is not applied and all the links go to this dlinksearch page as well.

This all happened by simply changing the url in the General Settings in admin. I changed it back to the original url, but the site was not fixed by this action.

One of these methods should work:

I tried the first two methods and they did not work. I go to the login screen (that still has no theme applied) and when I login it takes me to the “Oops, we can’t find this page” screen. Like I said, I can access the home page (with no theme) but the links all take me to the “Oops” page. I can type in the urls of the pages and find them, but with no theme. So the structure of my site is messed up with no theme and links that don’t work. I cannot log in to admin. Any other thoughts out there?

Try this one:

Thanks for the help. None of the solutions worked. I consulted with support at GoDaddy and after making the changes, the site was dynamically changing the site back to the broken state. There was some kind of corruption so we deleted the site and re-established my account. Now I have the old site backed up externally and re-uploaded the design template to the new site. Everything ok so far, but I’m having trouble finding the content files. I want to copy and paste page text from the old site to the new. I had text on the pages and sidebars, but can’t find it.

Most of the content would have been in the MySQL database. Did they delete that too? Maybe they forgot to restore it?

It’s gone. I think I can recreate everything fairly easily. Thanks for all your help. Really appreciate it.

You’re welcome! I’m sorry that your content could not be saved.
