WordPress.org

   I setup wordpress on my site in a sub-directory (/wordpress) in order to get everything setup before switching over.

   Last week I copied everything from the /wordpress directory to / (root dir). Everything seemed to be fine. However, today, I tried to edit my template files, only to discover that edits made no changes to the live site. As it turns out, WordPress is still looking at the themes in the /wordpress directory.

   This baffles me! Why is it looking there? Where is the line that's tell it to look in /wordpress/wp-content/themes instead of /wp-content/themes?

   I've looked all around, and I can't see to find where or why it would be doing this. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but help would be appreciated. Thanks.

   Have you changed the "WordPress address (URL)" on the settings page?

   Yes, I changed that.

   I found the answer, though. The problem was in the .htaccess file. I had forgotten to change the rewrite base to the new folder.

   I'm low on the code knowledge but I am having a similar problem.

   When I go to an individual post page, or link to a post, I get this:

   blog title>>Blog Archive>>post titleblogtagline (no space in between)

   It's a mess! I'm trying to link to myself on places like Facebook and it's hard to even read the titles. Help!

   Here's a sample:http://www.letthedogin.com/2008/12/27/the-tale-of-despereaux-a-movie-review/

   Where do I go? Headers? Archives?

   I'd like it to say: blog title>>post title. That's it.

   Thanks!
