Wrong Home Page – No Plugins

Can anyone help? I have checked everything I know to check, and it still doesn’t make any sense.

Seriously? I mean, c’mon. I’m smarter than that.

Yes, I’ve selected a static page. In two areas. No matter what I try, I end up either getting the wrong page, or I end up in a reload loop error. I’m using a free theme (Zinnia) to try out. I’ll try throwing a better theme in to try it out.

I just did a DB reset and then manually wiped all the interior pages. There are no plugins installed or active. There’s essentially nothing. There’s got to be something in the database somewhere that’s calling out ‘home’ when it shouldn’t.

The original site (DB) was installed on texastraditionshome.com/home and I moved it to the root directory with fresh files and modified the DB. Everything works fine, but creating a home page is creating a loop somewhere.

Is there any place I can look, or is there someone who might be able to see something I’m missing?

I did. Right the fresh install of WordPress in the root folder, and modifying the DB to reflect the SiteURL = domain.com/ instead of /home, everything is running… but the Home page creates a redirect loop. So it either displays a 404, a redirect loop, or it displays a completely unrelated page as ‘home’ – and I cannot figure out any of those events.

I don’t know how to do that.

I used the web-based version, exported the DB ran it through the site, but can’t import it because it doesn’t naturally overwrite. I don’t know how to import the “cleaned” sql file and have it overwrite the other one.

Okay, how do I do that? I’m in phpMyAdmin right now.

Sidenote: I also created a new database on the client’s host, but it doesn’t have any tables. If I import that one, can I simply change the wp-config file to the new DB and go from there?

I’m not really a noob with wordpress… but for the life of me I cannot get DB errors through my head. I apologize for being quite the noob today.

I changed the DB name inside the sql file to reflect the new DB I was importing into. Then I went to import it.

I didn’t work. Thoughts?
