Support » Fixing WordPress » Moving and Under Construction page

  • Hello experts:

    I have two questions for you:

    1) I have my blog running under http://www.domain.com/blog. I want to move everything so that it is visible under http://www.domain.com.

    2) Is there a way to have a “Under Construction” page up there within the blog so that I can switch it to the live site after I am ready?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello again:

    I have followed the instructions in the link above to move my site over to the root. (I am on a windows server.)

    Everything works just fine including the previous images that I have inserted in my posts, show up just fine.

    The ONLY issue that I am having is that I cannot upload any NEW images in my posts. It gives me this error message:

    “next_normal.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
    The uploaded file could not be moved to D:\Hosting\6118802\html/wp-content/uploads/2010/09.

    I looked in Settings > Media and under Uploading Files I have bothe fields “Store uploads in this folder” and “Full URL path to files” set to blank, so they are using the default.

    Any idea why I cannot seem to upload new pictures in my post?

    Thanx in advance,

    –wpf.
