• I wanted to rename my WordPress folder and followed the instructions by renaming the url of the blog etc. Since it didn’t work the 1st time I then logged out and logged back in and then renamed the WordPress folder. But all I’m getting is an error page. Is there something in one of the files that needs to be changed to the new address also. Also, I’ve seen the notes regarding deleting the cache files – but I have WP 2 and I couldn’t find them

  • Hmmm…
    When I look at the page that’s the leadin to the admin panel – I see /WordPress beside the little X button to delete. Could it be that the webhost only recognizes the /WordPress folder as they had it already installed for me

    Now, before any further guessing:
    1. Who is your host?
    2. Where is your blog? (I mean a REAL link)
    3. How did you you install WP? One-click?

    IPower is my host using VDeck Here is my blog address
    http://findasecretlover.com/loveblog As you can see, it’s working fine (actually on closer observation I see the main page is working fine but my side links arent)

    I didn’t install WP – My host had it already It’s WP2 I didn’t need to do anything about installing

    Yesterday I simply tried to create a new folder and follow the directions by moving the index.php file (and changing it as per the directions) and the htaccess file to the new folder and altering the home and blog url address. I couldn’t get that to work so the moderator suggested I was making my life complicated and I should simply rename the WordPress folder. I put everything back to it’s orignal condition and started over

    Actually, none of your internal links work: clicking on a category or post title or anything on your blog > goes to a not found error page (outside of the blog).

    On the other hand trying to go the admin folder or the login page never gets anything like “WordPress” – always shows the present foldrname.

    Re your newest reply.
    The mod might have been me… and I just performed a similar change last night on a testblog of mine (for the 100th time), so I know it works – if done properly!

    When I’m in VDec there is a link that says Domain Admin This hyperlink is what takes me to the dashboard etc. However on review of the hyperlink – this is what it says
    http://findasecretlover.com/WordPress/wp-admin/index.php

    Somehow though I’ve changed the phpdatabase blog address and wordpress address etc this hyperlink is staying the same. It should be going to the the new folder “loveblog”

    Now when I physically type in http://findasecretlover.com/loveblog/wp-admin/index.php I can signin and get to the dashboard

    Don’t know why my side links aren’t working
