Ok I’ll redo it. I managed to get the admin panel back and the home page displays perfectly, but menu links don’t work, so I probably screwed that up by editing tables other than wp-posts.

Well the first time I searched for https://www.website.com/dev/ and replaced with https://www.website.com. The second time I searched for /dev/ and replaced with / which could definitely account for finding many more instances.

Not that many. Less than 100 for sure.

229 Changes made, and still can’t access the wp-admin panel, and the blog still doesn’t display correctly.

I have a copy of the db backed up on my computer, so I just ran it on the live db. I’ll import the tables into a new db, and change point the config file at it and see if that makes a difference.

I ran the search and replace and even though there were some changes made, I’m still getting the same issue. wp-admin is still taking me to website.com/dev/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.website.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1. I searched for the word “dev” and came up with nothing. Now what?

How would you suggest I run the search and replace tool. I was thinking of searching for “www.website.com/dev/” and replacing with “www.website.com/”. I know it’s a silly question but there’s all this jazz on their site about how you can seriously damage your installation.

Oh it’s not a plugin nevermind haha

Will I be able to use that plugin even though I no longer have access to the old server? I have all of the files backed up locally.

On the old server I created a dev folder, installed wp and edited it with custom theme and essentially created a finished website. Then we switched hosting providers, so I uploaded all files out of the dev folder into the public_html folder on the new server, and then imported the db on the new server. I have attempted to change the urls to get rid of the dev in the url, but was unsuccessful due to the fact that I can’t access the wp-admin panel.
