[resolved] Moved WP site from subfolder to root, cannot login now... (3 posts)

    Ok, so when I initially set up WP I put everything in a sub directory under my root. I wanted to work on it before it went 'live'.

    It was just about finished, so I decided to move everything to the root, following the instructions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress I set the URL's (both the blog and the site) to the correct URL before moving the files over.

    But something got screwed up. I can go to the site just fine, at the right URL. But for some reason my background image disappeared, nor do I have the option up top to get to my Admin panel...I can't get there at all. The background image is a minor issue obviously, but I need to be able to actually get into the back end of the site.

    What happened? How can I fix this? Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Ok, I was able to get into the admin side of the site by adding /wp-admin after the URL, which is what I should have realized to do from the start.

    However, my theme is gone, completely. I can get to the settings from the Dashboard like normal, but the whole layout is completely gone. Is there something I can do here to bring it back to life?

    Resolved the issue by deleting my cache files in the theme/media directory.
