    Is your WordPress install in mysite.com, or mysite.com/wp?

    It sounds like what you need to do is open cPanel and go to Databases -> phpMyAdmin, then click the “+” by your WordPress database, click on the “options” table (or “wp_options” if you use a prefix).

    Edit the entries for the option_name siteurl and home entries so they both are correct for where your site is installed.

    That should fix it.

    Thanks for the reply,

    I did correct the login issue by restoring from a recent backup. There is a lesson in there somewhere 🙂

    As for the initial reason for my problem—

    My wordpress installation was not initially set up in the root folder on my server and I had changed hosts recently so I had to monkey around a bit but eventually found some solutions here at https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_Wordpress. The solution for my issue was corrected by following the Moving Directories on Your Existing Server section which is about a 1/3 of the way down the page.

    Hope this helps someone else.

    10/4
