halifaxacl

got it, thanks.. i discovered a backup copy of the wp-config.php file so i think i’m good to go now.

thanks for your help!

no index.php file, just the directories that i mentioned remain.

i’m guessing that deleting these files (index.php and other wordpress files) will not affect the actual wordpress page content (all of the pages that make up the website), correct?

i figured out how to set up the feed, but i’m still getting the error message noted above.

does anyone know how to set up subscriptions by email with feedburner?

here are the feed URLs in my feedburner account:
Original feed: https://halifaxacl.com/index.php/feed/
Feed address: https://feeds.feedburner.com/HalifaxAssociationForCommunityLiving

thanks for the link, i’ve set up my feedburner account, but when i attempt to point my account to my blog address, i get the message that my feed file size is larger than 512K and that i need to reduce its size.

how do i do this?

go to https://www.halifaxacl.com and navigate the site, that’s the best demonstration i can think of.

awesome, that did the trick, thanks!

i’m still unable to log in to the wordpress administration site- when i click on the log in button after typing in my user name and password, the page just reloads after a moment- i can see that the URL changes in the address bar as if the home page for the administration site is about to load, but the log in page just gets reloaded with the password field blank.

how can i fix this?

anyone?

thanks, i found both fields in the wp_options table but they are already set to https://halifaxacl.com- does it matter that the ‘www’ portion isn’t part of the URLs?

what else can i do?

help?

i’ve searched the data dictionary for both v2.9.2 and 3.0 of the wordpress database and i can’t find any reference to a ‘siteurl’ or ‘home’ field name in any of the tables.

might they be called something else or maybe i’m not looking in the right place?

thanks, where do i find the home value? i’ve looked in the wp_options table but i can’t find it. is it in another table?

ok, so i ended up following the instructions incorrectly- i moved the content before updating the URLs, and now of course i can’t access my wordpress admin, and i can’t see the blog at https://www.oursite.com.

here’s a quick rundown of what i’ve done thus far. sorry for the lengthy post, but i figure the more detail the better:

– logged onto FTP site for hosting provider and made a copy of the wordpress directory to my computer (locally).

– accidentally moved the entire contents of the wordpress directory to the website’s root directory (leaving the wordpress directory empty) and realized i couldn’t access the wordpress admin site, so i copied the wordpress directory contents from my local computer back to the website’s wordpress directory.

– logged into the wordpress admin site and updated the website and blog URLs which also logged me out of the admin site. at this point i discovered that i had not followed the instructions properly and that i couldn’t log into the wordpress admin site, and the blog wasn’t showing up at https://www.oursite.com

– logged into PHPmyadmin where i can access the wordpress databases and confirmed that the fields indicated in the instructions are set properly. right now option_name is set to ‘siteurl’ and option_value is set to ‘https://halifaxacl.com’, although i believe it should be ‘https://www.halifaxacl.com’ (the actual website). i tried updating this but it didn’t make a difference.

any help is appreciated.

thanks for the links… will our hosting provider still need to make any changes on their end in order for https://www.oursite.com to show our wordpress blog?
