 * hello, i worked for months on a new wordpress version of an old static site, 
   and i installed worpress in a subfolder called wp, so in the meanwhile people
   was able to get informations in the old site, and i was able to check all modifications
   and evolutions of the new blog site..
 * now that blog was running as i wanted, i deleted all old site files and moved
   wordpress files in the root directory, and now nothing.. i think i have lost 
   all my works..
    somebody can help me please?
 * i have already checked on wordpress search and i realized that i moved files 
   BEFORE changing URI and URL in the admin panel..

 * so change them now. its in the codex. Search the documentation ONLY (use the 
   checkboxes) for moving wordpress

 * yes i saw them, but the results were not as i hoped, so i tried to make multiple
   changes, like re-moving files in the original directory, or re-installing wordpress
   by the first steps, but NOTHING.
    and now, i can’t open admin page anymore.

 * Stop screwing with it.
 * Put all of the wordpress files exactly where you want the install – do not change
   anything in wp-config.php – then after moving the files – follow these instructions
   
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL)
   change BOTH url’s to the correct value
 * After you log in you should reset your permalinks
 * btw, everything is stored in the database so you won’t lose your work

 * yah I actually pointed you to the wrong search, apologies.
 * I get so tired of having to regurgitate the ‘moving wordpress’ and the ‘change
   the site url’ urls that I got them confused.
 * There REALLY ought to be a an auto-responder on here to spit those out to every
   damn thread.
