Pages not found after moving to a new directory and back…

I decided to go from http://www.mysite.com/blog to http://www.mysite.com. I simply thought I would just move the files and then change everything once I did. Wrong. All of my links stopped working. I moved everything back, but they are still coming up as “page not found”.

Also, the logo image isn’t working. I’m afraid I screwed my site up and will have to start from scratch. 🙁 My settings are all correct, so I’m confused. Can anyone help, quickly?

Thank you.

Justin

Have you tried following these instructions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

It did absolutely nothing for me… and now my homepage takes forever and a day to load, while the links still do not work. The admin page works fine, unless I try and view a link/homepage.

I’m thinking that exporting and reinstalling wordpress in the root directory might just be the easiest option.

this really bites.

Hi,

Also refer this article:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

And reset your permalink from wordpress admin area and add this code in htaccess of your blog/site:
```
# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
```
Thanks,

The latter fixed the load time… a million thank yous.

Now I just need to get the pages/links to load. Still showing “page cannot be found”.

Could it be a database error?

Well, I don’t really have the time (it’s an e-commerce store) to wait. I guess I’ll take the day and reinstall.
