Hi,

I’m having the same ‘?’ text error, among others. I went into the wp-config.php file, but those two define lines of code were not there. Just this:

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘romaniaa_wpdb’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘romaniaa_wpuser’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘bca753h’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = ‘wpi4f_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
// to enable German language support.
define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>

Suggestions please. I’m a long-winded blogger. Manually fixing this will take eons.

Grazie.

I’m the latest victim. I’ve tried all the solutions proposed above (disabling Akismet, copying the comments.php file from classic to my theme and changing the URI setting) and nothing is working. Though I believe this started after a sympathetic geek did some monkeying with my URI setting and my .htaccess file.

here’s what the .htaccess file looks like now:

Redirect 301 /wordpress https://www.killingbatteries.com
Redirect 301 /travelogue https://www.leifpettersen.com

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^killingbatteries\.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.killingbatteries.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Any suggestions?

OK. Der. I found the phpmyadmin tool. I made the changes following Podz’s guide above. I’m almost there…

Now when I try to access my wp-admin page, I get Google message saying “sorry, we couldn’t find http…”.

I tried setting the ‘option_value’ field to ‘../wordpress’ and ‘../wordpress/wp-admin’ and I still get the error message. There are no trailing slashes or anything and there is no cache directory on my version of WordPress to delete.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi again,

I appreciate the amount of faith you had in me to install and use phpMyAdmin all on my own after the above screw up, but I’ve failed again.

I actually got phpMyAdmin installed on the server, but have been hung up on the username and password field while trying to start the software. I’ve toyed with the config file to the best of my abilities and nothing works.

Is there some way for me to do this without a tool, like maybe edit one of wordpress’ php files in notepad to fix this?

Ah, this I can manage!

Thanks!

Hi,

I’m a newie and server dunce.

Has the wordpress-to-wordpress transfer process seen any revolutionary developments since this discussion died? I’ve read all these links, am no closer to understanding the steps, and am deeply hoping a simpler process has become available.

I think I’m doomed otherwise.

Thanks!
