OK, but is that lovely URL what was specified when you installed the new blog for the URL values? Reason I ask is that when I view the source, I see it is pulling your theme's style sheet from <code>http</code><code>://marcdupontministries.org/new/wp-content/themes/Essence-Blank/style.css</code> which is a (presumedly) different site altogether. That gets me to wondering what your wp-config.php has for database server settings -- is it also looking at the old site, for example? jnimon on "How do you change the links?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/252923#post-1015991 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:54:22 +0000 jnimon 1015991@http://wordpress.org/support/ The site url will be <a href="http://www.marcdupontministries.org" rel="nofollow">www.marcdupontministries.org</a> which is active currently on another host of mine. So they assigned the temporary test one you now see and love.;) Chris_K on "How do you change the links?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/252923#post-1015983 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:46:17 +0000 Chris_K 1015983@http://wordpress.org/support/ Is that link in your first post really the blog link? Cause wow, but that's a horrid one to remember or print on a business card! When you set up the blog, what did you provide for Site URL and Blog URL? jnimon on "How do you change the links?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/252923#post-1015967 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:15:55 +0000 jnimon 1015967@http://wordpress.org/support/ Well, the weird thing is, I can't find the login page now. I would love to answer that question myself.

So... I am familiar with PHP Admin. But is there an effective way to browse the database? Thanks! - James versluis on "How do you change the links?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/252923#post-1015903 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 23:29:03 +0000 versluis 1015903@http://wordpress.org/support/ Looking at your site, I think you need to update your wp-config.php file. Check if that's set to the new database (including database name, user name, password and host). Once you've done that, use phpMyAdmin to browse your database. Find the wp_options table and update your domain name and absolute server path. That should do the trick. jnimon on "How do you change the links?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/252923#post-1015853 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 22:03:21 +0000 jnimon 1015853@http://wordpress.org/support/ I moved WP to a new server. It has a different path than the previous host. The Database was setup successfully and the home page comes up at <a href="http://www.marcdupontministries.org.php5-2.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.marcdupontministries.org.php5-2.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/</a> If you click any links, though, it cannot find any of them. I know the paths need adjusted but how do you do that? Thanks, James Nimon
