Site move failed – admin panel not working

  • Hello Hivemind!

    I tried to do a simple move and it failed.
    I’ve done this before with usually very few problems. This time however nothing worked.

    I followed the directions here that almost everyone links. That lead to a broken site.
    I’m trying to backtrack here and nothing is working since I made those initial changes to the General Settings for the site locations.

    I’ve since been able to get the admin login page to show up.
    It now has this error when I try to log in:
    Not Found

    The requested URL /wp-login.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    I’ve also been able to get the home page to show up. But the links no longer sync to the pages.

    Here’s the website in question.
    https://christmas-every-day.org/

    I’ve scoured the help files here to no avail. I would really appreciate your help.

    Thanks!

  • If you can access your database via your site hosting control panel (e.g. like with phpMyAdmin), then you can correct your URLs that way.

    If you don’t have such access, but can FTP your wp-config.php file up to the (new) site, then you can hard-code the correct URLs into the wp-config.php file, instructions found here:

    update

    I’ve been able to get the site working again. but I can only get it to work by hard coding the URL in the wp_config and the wp_login. As mentioned in the help files.

    I’d love to be able to move the directory to the root level, but I could settle for just the URL working without needing the sub directory in the URL.

    How could I do that in the code as the general settings are now greyed out?

    It seems to be working ok! I can access the site without needing the sub directory.

    Excellent! Please be sure to change this to “Resolved” and update, so that others know your issue is fixed.
