• Hi there,

    I know I did something wrong but can’t figure out what.

    My wordpress blog was in my root, and I created a directory called “journal” and moved it in there.

    I then added to my wp-config.php file, which is in my new “journal” directory the following code:

    define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://bettinashzu.com/journal/’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://bettinashzu.com/’);

    I tried to use the Velvet Blues plugin to change my links, but that didn’t work.

    I then found this page and tried to follow its directions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

    For step 7, I got a bit stuck: “Copy (NOT MOVE!) the index.php and .htaccess files from the WordPress directory into the root directory of your site (Blog address).”

    I do not have a .htaccess file, so I have index.php in both my root and in my “journal” directory.

    In my root I also have a file named index.html. Does this interfere with index.php?

    For both of the index.php files, I have edited it thus:

    require(‘./journal/wp-blog-header.php’);

    When I try to login at http://bettinashzu.com/journal/wp-login.php, however, I get directed to http://bettinashzu.com/wp-login.php
    with an error message saying that “Not Found

    The requested URL /wp-login.php was not found on this server.”

    What am I doing wrong?

    I have no php experience, some HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

    Thanks so much!

  • Update new links in the database .use Search and replace plugin. If you can access phpmyadmin ,open wp_options or tbleprefix_options table ,edit siteurl ,and home(column n 36) values. Your problem will be solved.
