 * I am in need of some assistance with some problems I am encountering after moving
   my WordPress site from example.com/wordpress to example.com. I followed the steps
   on another forum [Moving WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
   and before I was able to use the one click update plug-ins button every time 
   a plug-in had an update and now it is giving me an unpacking error saying it 
   cannot find the directory. I also cannot upload any media files since the move
   giving me another error saying it cannot access the uploads folder. I followed
   the procedure very carefully but have been racking my brain all day today with
   no solution. I am using IIS 8.
 * Any help would be appreciated!

 * Did you get a chance to try using one of the suggested plugins to change all 
   of the URL’s stored in your database to the new URL?

 * Yes, I’ve been on so many blogs and help sites to no avail. I’ve tried the link
   you provided as well.

 * What’s really weird is all of my images that I have that are already in my uploads
   folder have been successfully changed to the new domain so they are being referenced
   appropriately. Why I cannot upload new pictures is a mystery I definitely would
   like solved. I even manually deposited some pictures in the uploads folder on
   my Web server and they do not show up in the list of files I have in WordPress.
