I recently decided to change my site over to wordpress and after spending the last couple of months completely building the site in a sub-directory, I finally decided today was the day to launch it.
I moved it to the main directory and now suddenly none of my pages work.
Now all I get is "500 Internal Server Error" and despite the fact that there are posts, none are showing and it says "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria."
Help, quickly. Please :)

Have you seen the documentation on moving WordPress?

Most likely is a Permalinks problem. The following is from the first link:
11. If you have set up Permalinks, go to the Permalinks panel and update your Permalink structure. WordPress will automatically update your .htaccess file if it has the appropriate file permissions. If WordPress can't write to your .htaccess file, it will display the new rewrite rules to you, which you should manually copy into your .htaccess file (in the same directory as the main index.php file.)

Ugh no I didn't see that but I undid all the moving that I did and followed those steps and it worked a charm. Sorry for my idiocy :P
Thanks!
