   My tale of woe... =\

   I installed WP about 4 days ago, and I had my Network Solutions temporary URL in place so that when I worked on the blog it would not be live until I pointed my url (www.naugatuck.com) at the blog directory (www.naugatuck.com/blog).

   So fast forward to tonight, I am ready to get this thing live, I log on to Network Solutions and point my url at the Blog directory, login as admin on my WP site and change the setting in the control panel to point at the blog directory (both of them and I can't remember which menu they were under), and now I get a website with no theme, and no ability to login as admin to right my wrong.

   I help for this noobish move?

   I hate to think I have to start all over.

   Thanks,
   Hunter

   youve confused me :) but if you have the wrong urls in your settings you need this page:

   Sorry for the confusion...

   I probably should not have started this after 1am.

   Anyhow, I read the solution and I have a question or two. IT says that I need to add the following lines to the wp-config.php.

   define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
   define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

   If I installed my WP blog in (www.naugatuck.com/blog), should I modify the above examples as the following?

   define('WP_HOME','www.naugatuck.com/blog');
   define('WP_SITEURL','www.naugatuck.com/blog');

   or

   define('WP_HOME','www.naugatuck.com');
   define('WP_SITEURL','www.naugatuck.com');

   And further, is the www needed?

   In addition, I pointed my URL at Network Solutions as:

   http://www.naugatuck.com --> /htdocs/blog

   Sorry, I know I am being a nit with this but I am stuck and quite exhausted at this point. I hope this was clearer.

   Thanks for the help!

   define('WP_HOME','http://naugatuck.com/blog');
   define('WP_SITEURL','http://naugatuck.com/blog');

   or

   define('WP_HOME','http://www.naugatuck.com/blog');
   define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.naugatuck.com/blog');

   www vs non-www, take your pick depending on your setup.

   as for the other, I dont know what youve done there. are you saying that you are redirecting traffic to your domain to the blog site?

   Yes, that is what I am doing, I am redirecting traffic that would go to http://www.naugatuck.com to http://www.naugatuck.com/blog.

   I tried the first solution the website presented and that did not work, I am currently altering the Theme Functions.php, but still no luck.

   Getting worried that I borked this.
