Title: Moving WordPress Failed Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Moving WordPress Failed * Resolved [robokira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robokira/) * (@robokira) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-failed/) * I recently tried moving my wordpress blog from [http://www.robokira.com](http://www.robokira.com) to [http://blog.robokira.com](http://blog.robokira.com) . I followed all the instructions found here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site) * But it didn’t work. I followed all the directions exactly, but whenever I try to access any page within my blog (the index, individual posts, etc.), I get this error: * > Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in /home/ccsyhqkj/public_html/ > blog/index.php on line 1 * I don’t know what went wrong – can anyone help me? I think my problems started after I changed the WordPress and blog addresses (URIs?) in my General Options in my Dashboard. (Steps 4 & 5 from the Moving WordPress instructions I linked to.) Because after I changed both to [http://blog.robokira.com](http://blog.robokira.com) and clicked on update, I got an error page. I don’t know – that whole step seems odd to me: why would I direct my blog to somewhere my files aren’t yet? (The directions said to move the files after changing the URIs – step 10.) * I can still access my Dashboard fine, and it seems like all my posts are still there (but whenever I try to open them, I get that ‘undefined function’ error). * Can anyone help me? I don’t know what’s going wrong. 🙁 Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [robokira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robokira/) * (@robokira) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-failed/#post-617994) * I should also mention that changing themes doesn’t do anything – the index.php and all other pages still have the same ‘undefined function’ error. 🙁 Please help me! * [Jeremy Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeremyclark13/) * (@jeremyclark13) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-failed/#post-617996) * Do you run your own server or do you have a hosting provider if the first then you need to create the subdomain. If the latter you need to call your host to find out how to create that subdomain. * Thread Starter [robokira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robokira/) * (@robokira) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-failed/#post-617997) * I run my own server, and I have already created the subdomain. I created the subdomain before I set the URIs and before I moved the files. You can see it at [http://blog.robokira.com](http://blog.robokira.com). * [Jeremy Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeremyclark13/) * (@jeremyclark13) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-failed/#post-617999) * Do your wordpress files actually exist in the folder _home/ccsyhqkj/public\_html/ blog/_? * And does the subdomain point to that folder? * Thread Starter [robokira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robokira/) * (@robokira) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-failed/#post-618003) * Yes, I put them all in there – and the subdomain SHOULD point to that folder. xxx.robokira.com and robokira.com/xxx are supposed to be interchangeable, but I wonder if that’s the problem? * I just tried changing the URIs in my options to point to [http://www.robokira.com/blog](http://www.robokira.com/blog) instead of blog.robokira.com, but that didn’t work either. * Thread Starter [robokira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robokira/) * (@robokira) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-failed/#post-618064) * Okay, since nobody seems to be able to help me – is it possible for me to somehow reinstall wordpress? I don’t mind if I lose the themes or plugins – I just really want to keep all my old posts. Is there anyway to keep my old posts but reinstall WordPress? That might solve my problem, I guess. * [Cal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themesbycal/) * (@themesbycal) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-failed/#post-618065) * I’m half asleep so sorry if this comes out wrong. Is there any way you can just point the subdomain to the current working wordpress install? * Otherwise, you may have to go into phpmyadmin and change the URI’s manually, I had to do that when I moved…..I got the error page too. * After reading your first post again, I think you should at least check the URI settings in phpmyadmin, that’s probably the problem. * Thread Starter [robokira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robokira/) * (@robokira) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-failed/#post-618070) * I did check the URIs in phpmyadmin, and they were right – but after upgrading to the latest version of WordPress, my problem was fixed. 🙂 I suppose a file somewhere got corrupted, so the fresh files helped. * So this is resolved.
