# Finding # sign in path

 * I am working on a project that involves migrating a WordPress installation from
   point A to point B. It should be fairly simple, but neither manual nor plugin-
   based transfers are working. To explain:
 * Point A is a fairly standard installation of ‘demo.com’, and I am trying to migrate
   it to a subdomain (point B), say ‘c.example.com’. Of course I can migrate the
   code, plugins, themes, etc just fine, however when I bring over the database,
   everything goes haywire (and I have made updates to the site URL / home URL /
   some permalink structure within the database).
 * A snippet of code from within the tag shows some interesting information:
 *     ```
       <link rel="stylesheet" id="parent-style-css" href="http://c.#wp-content/themes/Example_theme/style.css?ver=4.4.2" type="text/css" media="all">
       <link rel="stylesheet" id="style-css-css" href="http://c.#wp-content/themes/Example_theme/style.css?ver=4.4.2" type="text/css" media="all">
       <link rel="stylesheet" id="layout-css" href="http://c.#wp-content/themes/Example_theme/css/layout.css?ver=4.4.2" type="text/css" media="all">
       <link rel="stylesheet" id="main-css" href="http://c.#wp-content/themes/Example_theme/css/main.css?ver=4.4.2" type="text/css" media="all">
       <link rel="stylesheet" id="shortcodes-css" href="http://c.#wp-content/themes/Example_theme/css/shortcodes.css?ver=4.4.2" type="text/css" media="all">
       <link rel="stylesheet" id="mediaelement-css" href="http://c.#wp-includes/js/mediaelement/mediaelementplayer.min.css?ver=2.18.1" type="text/css" media="all">
       <link rel="stylesheet" id="prettyPhoto-css" href="http://c.#wp-content/themes/Example_theme/css/prettyPhoto.css?ver=4.4.2" type="text/css" media="all">
       <link rel="stylesheet" id="responsive-css" href="http://c.#wp-content/themes/Example_theme/css/responsive.css?ver=4.4.2" type="text/css" media="all">
       <link rel="stylesheet" id="instag-slider-css" href="http://c.#wp-content/plugins/instagram-slider-widget/assets/css/instag-slider.css?ver=1.2.1" type="text/css"
       ```
   
 * Taking a closer look, you can see that the href/path does not include the ‘example.
   com’ domain name, and instead is replaced with a “#”.
 * `http://c.<strong>#</strong>wp-content/themes/Example_theme/css/responsive.css?
   ver=4.4.2`
 * Further notes, I have updated the wp-config file to define the WP_HOME and WP_SITE
   URLs, and this has no effect. .htaccess is also corrected for the subdomain (
   which additionally has no effect), it reads:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /c/
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . //index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * The cause of this seems to be somewhere within the database, however there may
   be a file somewhere that is controlling this.
 * Any assistance is welcome, and very appreciated.
 * Thank you again for your time with my issue.
