I am getting the same issue, every time I fill in the SEO fields and then update , all of my text is wiped and it’s back to square one! frustrating to say the least

Hi, I just had a similar problem trying to install WP to an add on domain and I had forgotten that I had to set up the DNS servers at the hosting provider first. Have you done this already? I just did mine but it warns that it may take up to 24hrs for the address to propagate.

This issue has been resolved now and thanks for all your input.
The problem was these two lines in my config file – `define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://peteprzyszlak.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://peteprzyszlak.com’);`
They were change to HTTP://getmeoutofhere.me and everything worked!
What I found somewhat confusing is that you could type in the url and you could access the blog normally even with the wrong url.

Hi esmi,
You probably missed it as I posted it on another thread before I was moved to here but I have already done that in as much that both my blogs are working and accessible – they were not before I added the extra define lines in wp_config. I think the issue I have is that maybe because I have tried to access “getmeoutofhere.me” admin account so many times with either the wrong user name or password combination that I am now locked out! I will try and re-set the name and password through phpMyAdmin as indicated by the link you sent when I can log in to cpanel at my webhost server.
Incidentally this is exactly where I am with help from my webhost.

Sorry to appear thick but I’m still not sure what you mean, to change a name does this mean I have to go through all the name registration and stuff or just change it somewhere by typing it in? If I look at the directory structure on my server, I have two subdirectories/folders in the public_html directory one for each domain name. Is this where I would change it?

Sorry but I am not quite sure I understand, do you mean in the wp-config file?
I have not changed any names, I have, as far as I know, created a new domain with both my blogs as add on domains one of which I can access without any problem and the other one I can not!
If as you say I should revert back to the original URLS, which I must admit I am not sure how to do, does this mean I would then have a newly created domain with nothing in it?

Not sure what you mean? the whole operation was to bring my two blogs under one main domain name of peteprzyszlak.com I have not actually changed any names, merely moved them under a new umbrella i.e. peteprzyszlak.com/guitartisan.co.uk and peteprzyszlak.com/getmeoutofhere.me
Guitartisan works without any problem with logging in but I have been unable so far to log in to getmeoutofhere.me in order to post, edit or in fact change anything.

Already done that so if I type in https://peteprzyszlak.com/getmeoutofhere.me/
It takes me to the site but I can’t edit or post because when I type in
https://peteprzyszlak.com/getmeoutofhere.me/wp-admin
It returns in the address bar – https://peteprzyszlak.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https://peteprzyszlak.com/getmeoutofhere.me/wp-admin/&reauth=1
If I then type in any combination of possible user names and passwords, it either re-draws the screen with no error or says invalid user name or reverts back to my main WP blog. Before I changed the domain name I could log in with my original user name and password but now I don’t even get the opportunity to change the password.

Hi Andrea, probably not as I don’t know what it is. Not really sure as to what section I should be in? If there is somewhere else I should be posting this maybe you can point me in the right direction, any help will be much appreciated.

No, I hardly had to do anything is was all taken care of by my very helpful webhost namecheap, they also sorted out another WP problem that I had where the pages looked completely unformatted and broken. They pointed to a technical bulletin which said I had to add another couple of lines to my wp-config file, and that worked fine.

I managed to get it working ok with the Kimili plugin after a few iterations ?? my next task is see if I can get it over on a side bar just like a “Widget”
Just copying the code with the exact URL https://freerangeeggs.s3.amazonaws.com/tuner24.swf does not even let me review the post?

To Samuel B,
Thanks for the help, I downloaded the .swf player you suggested , uploaded the tuner.swf file to my S3 space, pressed the red flash button it provided and it came up with some dialogue boxes I could not quite work out, anyway after pressing the “Generate” button, it posted some stuff in my post box and I tried reviewing it and nothing happened (again)
Webjunk,
I posted the url of the file after uploading i.e https://freerangeeggs.s3.amazonaws.com/tuner24.swf and all I got on the review was just the url and an empty box below! Aplologies for being an idiot, but I am unsure what to do with the code you sent me to correct it ?? I’m sure there are substitutions involved but I don’t know what or where?)
To both,
Maybe I am misunderstanding the term “Widget” in as much as I thought it to be a stand alone application that will run alongside one of my own video’s that are being played by “Vipers-video-quicktags” – the plugin I use to embed my videos.
Do you think I should enlist the help of a web designer and just ask for what I require?
cheers
Pete

The real question is – can this be integrated into a WordPress site or am I walking up a dead end street?
cheers

Brilliant! deleted it and now it’s back to normal, many thanks.

Ok, so I followed your notes to upgrade manually and that worked fine but, I still keep getting this message at the top of my dashboard that says –
An automated WordPress update has failed to complete – please attempt the update again now. !! I have already logged out and back in and also activated the new version but it don’t go away even if I click on the link. Any idea’s who I should ask about this?
cheers
