Later when I got the user name and password i entered the dashboard and I seem to have eliminated its link to the css, because the dashboard is completely without any styles or images. * Obviously I must have got rid of one too many ../../wordpress/wp-includes/. Any clue where I went wrong or how I can get the dashboard to reconnect to the css? I will poke around… * Thanks! * Thread Starter [christernyc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christernyc/) * (@christernyc) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-parse-error-unexpected-httpexamplecomblogwp-admininstall/#post-1047975) * Resolved: * If you’re using Dreamweaver, never, EVER let Dreamweaver update the links when you change the name of the downloaded WordPress folder to another name before uploading to your hosting. * Took me all day to figure that one out…I’m quite ashamed… Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Parse error: parse error, unexpected – http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/ install.’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [parse-error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/parse-error/) * [wp-admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/wp-admin/) * In: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [christernyc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christernyc/) * Last activity: [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-parse-error-unexpected-httpexamplecomblogwp-admininstall/#post-1047975) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
