 * When moving wordpress I couldn’t get into the options as the server wasn’t showing
   the php pages up. As a result I’ve had to miss these two steps…
 * 3. In the box for WordPress address (URI): change the address to the new location
   of your main WordPress core files.
    4. In the box for Blog address (URI): change
   the address to the new location, which should match the WordPress address (URI).
 * Can someone please help me do this by changing the code or something in the database.
 * Cheers,
    Steve

 * I’m not sure how you are moving the database, but if you exported it as an sql
   file, then you could simply open the file in a text editor (notepad, for example),
   search for the original information, replace it with your new information, then
   save and upload to your new site.
