    Hey all, not totally sure what I did wrong but I will explain my steps in screwing things up. I have been working on a website recently, and as of today it was complete and ready to go live. Previously, it was in a folder entitled ‘vibe’. I tried to move all of the files up to the public_html folder where it began throwing me errors. Since I was seeing errors I moved things back to the ‘vibe’ directory and logged in to the admin area to change the general settings of URL name. After this, I tried moving the files back to the root (public_html) and it was throwing more errors and would not let me login to the admin panel whatsoever… just shows 404 page for admin login. Out of fear I moved it back to the vibe folder but now I cant even get into admin in that folder either! I really have no idea what is wrong and hope there is some solution out there as I have put many hours into building this website!! Please help if possible, thank you!

    Web address (take a look to see errors): http://www.kylecoglitore.com/vibe/
    Where I want it: http://www.kylecoglitore.com

    Sorry Randy, just realized I’ve run into another problem. I inserted this code into wp-config.php:

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

    This works just fine for computer browsers, however on the mobile version it throws a “host gator getting started” page. Any ideas?

    Hi NEUW0636,

    So you copied the following to your wp-config.php file:

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

    Right?

    That said, I just went to http://kylecoglitore.com/ using my iPhone 4s, 6, and iPad 2 running iOS 8.1 on my Apple iOS Simulator (from Xcode 6.1) and I was NOT able to reproduce your “host gator getting started” page findings. That is, from my vantage point, your site looks really good both on a desktop as well as several virtual mobile devices.

    Randy or other forum members,

    I tried to do this again but rather moved my site to http://www.kylecoglitore.com/load/ and have run into issues. I added the two ‘define’ commands with the correct address however, on the website pages no pictures show up and for some reason I cannot log in to my admin panel – it just refreshes with the correct username a blank password box (doesn’t say wrong password or anything and doesn’t bring me into panel). I’m doing this because I want to ideally have a landing page (an index.html file I made) which will then send users to my wordpress site located in the /load/ directory. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
