I still have not figoured out how to get rid of the
Blog dot (blog.sitename.com)
can anyone help me???
It involves several steps:
1. Log in to your site admin panel (offered by the host) and undo/delete the subdomain
2. Then you will have your WP blog displayed at example.com/folder
3. If it works, then proceed with this tutorial:
Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory – skip #6.
Should work.
The upgrade should be done when it works. And for the different frontpage you will visit your own blog’s amin panel > Options > Reading.
Also, see if Moving WordPress helps you.
I deleated the “blog.shakemyday.com” in the admin panel.
things seemed to work. and had it point to “shakemyday.com/blog/”
then I wanted to have the index file in my the root directory. opened the file- changed it so that the header pointed correctly. and uploaded it to the root directory. It worked.
then I realized that if I had that index.php in the main root then I can not have a different home page. So I tried moving it back into the blog folder.
I never saw the .htaccess file.
My site is not showing my theme.
I now am not able to log into my admin.
the- and not recognizing my password. I had new password sent- but I still receive this message:
ERROR: WordPress requires Cookies but your browser does not support them or they are blocked.
I tried downloading the most recent version of the word press and I upgraded. I made sure not to overwrite the files they say not to overwrite. =no change.
Please help.
no one seems to know the answer. My site is still down.
I found another thread that people were getting the same error message. I tried all the suggestions there. Nothing helped.
I have reuploaded my old version. I have deleated everything and uploaded the new version. deleated that and reuploaded my old version again.
NOTHING IS HELPING.
You shouldn’t mess around with everything when you don’t know what you are doing…
Think before you start to do major overhauls – not after.
If you have your blog installed at example.com/subfolder
the two URL values in the database should reflect that.
Fix it:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/
http://www.village-idiot.org/archives/2007/07/04/wp-emergency-url/
(both do the same but in different ways)
“Think” ?!?!?! Been doing nothing but! I thought this was a HELP message board?…
One of the suggestions on the site was to put a clean install in.
Thank you for putting up a possible solution.
this fix – along with a few other problems to fix- MY SITE IS NOW WORKING! wahooooo.
happy to hear my script worked for you, shake.. thanks for the comment too 🙂
