[resolved] Yet Another Moving WordPress Post (4 posts)

    Hi all,

    A friend of mine has a WP install at http://example.com/vlog. She has the settings under the General tab as:

    WordPress address (URL) http://example.com/vlog
    Blog address (URL) http://example.com

    This has worked fine for a few years.

    She has installed a "dev version" in another subdirectory at http://example.com/dev. She is now ready to make this dev install live and has asked for my help.

    In all my WP experience, oddly, I've never had to do this, but it seems quite easy after reading the codex directions. However, I can't get it to work and wondered if someone here can clue my into the "missing link".

    So, I logged in:
    http://example.com/vlog and changed the settings to:
    WordPress address (URL) http://example.com/vlog
    Blog address (URL) http://example.com/vlog

    Then I logged in at http://example.com/dev and changed the settings to:
    WordPress address (URL) http://example.com/dev
    Blog address (URL) http://example.com/

    However, when I visit the url http://example.com, I am seeing the install that resides in the /vlog/ subdirectory still. I know this because the /vlog/ and /dev/ installs have different themes applied.

    Is this a domain caching issue? Is there something else I should be checking?

    Thanks for any help.

    Did you copy and edit the index.php file and .httcacess(sp?) with the revised index.php copy into the root pointing back to the development version?

    This should help.

    @ Saildude,

    Thanks for your reply, I did do those things, but your wording "into the root" led me to my mistake, I was editing the index.php and .htacceess in the /dev/ directory, not the root of the site.

    Thanks dude! Working as expected now:)
