 * Hi,
    My website was [http://www.example.com/scholar](http://www.example.com/scholar)
   On the admin dashboard settings page I changed both URL fields to /pray Then 
   the URL was not recognised Tried to do the wp.comfig edit (define…) but it didn’t
   make any difference so I changed my wordpress installation folder from scholar
   to pray and now I can see the site again although can’t login.
 * I tried to login from cpanel but get this message:
 *     ```
       Warning: require(wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/mlvaufxk/public_html/scholar/sapp-wp-signon.php on line 17
   
       Warning: require(wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/mlvaufxk/public_html/scholar/sapp-wp-signon.php on line 17
   
       Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/opt/alt/php74/usr/share/pear') in /home2/mlvaufxk/public_html/scholar/sapp-wp-signon.php on line 17
       ```
   
 * Please note I have a separate wordpress installation on the main directory too.
   The question is about the other wordpress installation I had on /scholar but 
   changed to /pray (and then renamed folder so I can see it again)
 * Thank you

 * Hi
    I did the wo-confug at first but it didn’t work so I just renamed the WordPress
   folder the same as the new URL. The site shows up but wpadmin doesn’t.
 * Should I rename the WordPress directory the original name?

 * You may also check URL in database and change it as appropriate. See [https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/#changing-the-url-directly-in-the-database/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/#changing-the-url-directly-in-the-database/)
