Yes, unfortunately, it’s not as straight forward as just changing it on that one page.
You’ll need to make some changes in your phpmyadmin. Make a search /wordpress and remove that part of the address wherever it is referring to the old location.
Also, a reference to the old address (such as /wordpress/index.php) or 2 may be found in the small file .htaccess in your main wordpress folder.
Alternatively, if you wish to fix this without the word (i.e. go back to using /wordpress/ in your address) do a search in your phpmyadmin for the address without the wordpress back, and change to include it again.
Hope that helps.

Hi Florian:
Thanks for your quick response!
I would prefer to go back to where I was.
But I have no idea of where to find ‘phpmyadmin’.
I have looked in all my files and folders, but I am at a loss.
Can you help me out there?

Hi Websun,
You need to log into your host’s cpanel. phpmyadmin is usually beside or near the databases option.
Let me know if you have any issues and I’ll do my best to guide you through it.
Florian
So far no luck. I have searched the Plesk control panel, but have not been able to find ‘phpmyadmin’.
It allowed me to setup PHPDig, but that would not index wordpress. Neither will it do a reset of what it did the first time. So I have to forget about that too.
Frustrating! 🙁
Happy New Year! 🙂
In that case contact your host and ask them how to find and log into your phpmyadmin.
Who’s your host?
Happy New Year to you too! 🙂
I have sent him a message already, but it would take him a while to respond.

In the mean time I am trying to find a way to uninstall WordPress, so I can do a clean install. Any suggestions? I installed it automatically from the Plesk Control panel.
Hi,
I can’t figure out how to start a new topic, so I’m replying here as this is partially my problem.
I have a site, with one url (wkrealestate.com) and another url (wekrealestatepros.com) being forwarded to it.
I tried to change my site title from WK Real Estate Pros to Wk Real Estate and my url to be http://www.wkrealestate.com instead of wkrealrestatepros.com.
Based on what happened next, I really should not have done that.
My theme has completely fallen apart and I can’t log-in to my admin area at all to fix the mess I made.
Logging in at the following areas has not helped:
from the site itself, directly, under http://www.wkrealestate and http://www.wkrealestatepros.com and from http://www.wkrealestate.com/admin and http://www.wkrealestatepros.com. I’ve also tried navigating in both situations, for both urls, by exchaning www for http and also http://www and that has made no difference.
Error message is either “site timeout” or “site not available”.
I’ve tried Chrome and Firefox and Internet Explorer on a Mac and a PC.
I really, really need to get this back to how it was.
I also manage several other wordpress sites on wordpress.com and wordpress.org, and the other sites are fun so it really is just this one site that is a wreck.

@websuns – If you want to do a fresh install (make sure to back everything up first) then the easiest way is to go to into your Plesk Control Panel, go to Databases and either empty the database completely or delete it and create a new one.
Then go to your ‘File Manager’ on the Plesh Control Panel and delete all the WordPress files and folders (be careful with the wp-content folder, it contains your uploads (uploaded though the WordPress media section – such as images) and also contains all your themes and plugins. Make sure that you have a backup of everything before deleting this folder.
Once this is done – WordPress has been completely removed.
You could try reinstalling using the option in your cpanel, but if you want to manually install it, here’s how:
Go to http://wordpress.org/download/ to download WordPress (it’ll save to your computer as a .zip file). Unzip the file and re-upload all files within the initial wordpress folder (it should include files like login.php and the folders wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes). Once they are all uploaded, you’re ready to run the install.
Visit your site’s home page and go through the simple install process.
If you have any issues, let us know.
Best,
Florian

@fctb – Glad to be of help.
@websuns – Are you having any luck?
I haven’t had time yet.
I am taking a couple days off now.
Thanks for your help Florian.
With the various suggestions you made I am sure I will find something to resolve it.
Cheers!
To a Great New Year!

I did find PHPMyAdmin in Databases/Wordpress/Webadmin.
Search could not find my URL.
It actually said that there were no entries in the DB.
So, I have decided to clear it all.
Starting with the DB and then wordpress.
Thanks for your help! Florian and FCTB.
