   Hey everyone,
   So I've been building a WordPress site within a sub-folder named '/new/' on my webspace.

   I got to a point where I was pretty happy with the WordPress site and decided to move it to the site root.

   I was following these 'Moving WordPress' instructions and perhaps pressed 'Save' too early on the General Settings page of the WordPress admin section -- my site root came up with a bunch of PHP errors.

   Because all the WordPress files were still in the '/new/' folder I decided to move them to the site root, thinking that'd solve things. The first thing to move was the .htaccess file which I'd forgotten about -- I remember looking at it a couple of days back and it having some info about the '/new/' folder. As soon as that went to the site root, I couldn't move, edit, upload or delete anything else in the site root! I've never had this before... What can I do?

   Basically: How would I reset the settings back to the blog's location at the 'new' subfolder if I can't log in?

   If you have access to the database you can change the information in the wp_options table.
