 * Hello,
    I am admittedly new at this, and I seem to have made a mistake in the
   way I migrated my WP site from a subfolder into a root folder. The site is mostly
   fine. I used Velvet Blues Update plugin and have access to my dashboard, but 
   when I open the media library it is empty and I cannot upload any new files. 
   I also can’t seem to search for plugins from the dashboard (I can upload the 
   zip files), and I cannot update my plugins.
 * My media files are in the uploads folder, but my library isn’t finding them. 
   I am not a developer, I am an architect (the building kind, not the software 
   kind), so any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmedia-library-missing-after-migration%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
