I had a similar problem with my site being ok for a few hours (not days) and then I had the same message as you “Internet explorer cannot open this internet site”. I don’t know if the solution will be the same as mine but might be worth trying.

I had the issue when I imported my site using phpmyadmin. So I put my blog back up in the original url (where it worked fine), then exported it into an .xml file. Finally, I imported the .xml file in the new url.

It worked fine after this.

Ok I’ll try look through all the files in the plugin (there are a lot) and php is not my forte.

I thought if I could find out where it was stored in WP it might be quicker, but since I seem to have checked everywhere, the only thing left is as you say.

Thanks.

Yes, the addresses in settings are correct, and the old address does not appear.
Also I have exported the database as an xml file and done “find” for the old address, and no part of it is in the database.
This is why I have no idea where this plugin is getting the old address ??

Bumpy.

Someone must know…

I see some old posts. How did you import these? And did you move the location of the blog before importing or has it always been that exact url?

Man nobody ever seems to reply on here, my 3rd topic with no response.

I couldn’t be bothered waiting so I backed up and emptied the table. WordPress is running fine so not sure why this table is even there. Might delete it altogether if I don’t find any references to it in the php.

I ran wp-cron manually, removing the following line:

if ( $_GET[‘check’] != wp_hash(‘1111111’) )
exit;

It ran for ages at first then returned immediately.

However it has not cleared out the data. Is it ok for me to empty this table manually? Come on someone must have done this before?! :S

Hmmm took me a while to focus away from pic.
Anyway since you say you messed with the layout I think the quickest thing to do is just upload the original theme for those things you’ve changed, ie. footer.php etc.

ok I found that I need to run the cron job to clear this out. Its kinda late now so will try in morning.

Sounds like the problem I had, the directory it was trying to create was not wp-content/uploads. Using anything but this directory to upload to will not work unless you change the hard coded address.

Ok I worked it out. I changed my download location to wp-content/uploads in the options and its all ok.

So basically this new upload page/function does not pay attention to what you have set up as the upload directory!!

Update:

They seem to be uploaded into wp-content/uploads!!
But wordpress is looking under /mnt/…./uploads.

I guess this is the problem, so question is how do i make wordpress look under wp-content/uploads and not under /mnt/?

Managed to get it up and running. Just in case anyone else has this problem, I did the following.

1) Installed wordpress in the original location.
2) Installed https://technosailor.com/2006/07/05/wordpress-to-wordpress-import/ and made xml back up.
3) Installed wordpress in new location.
4) Imported the xml file.

No attachments but it works!

Yes I have but its like 20 pages long. How would I edited out the tables i don’t want? There are no carriage returns, its just one long jumble of stuff.

Thanks for the replies. Is there any plug-in you would particularly recommend?
I only have a .sql file so can no longer export only those tables. Unless there is a way to edit this file?
