 * Hello.
 * I’m having some problems that I couldn’t find out any solution.
 * I was using WordPress 4.2.4 in a temporary test directory. Now that my site is
   complete, I decided to move from the test directory to the root of my server.
 * I followed the instructions on [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
   
   So I changed the URLs on Settings>General. Saved. Copied files from the test 
   directory to the root. Exported database. Updated wp-config.php to point to right
   database. Imported the database.
 * Aparently it all worked. I can access the website, navigate trough the pages 
   and they all have the correct path. I can also login in wp-admin.
 * **The problem is:** After some seconds in admin panel, I get the message that
   my session expired. I can even close the message and keep using administration
   like I’m still logged in. And the message keeps appearing even if I enter my 
   password again.
    If I try to edit some widget and save, nothing is applied. If
   I remove a page from menu and save, it is removed. If I try to add, it doesn’t.
 * I tried to update to WordPress 4.3. It doesn’t solved the problems.
 * I appreciate any suggestion of what could be the reason of this problems. Thanks
   for the attention.
