Do you have access to the database? If so, look in the wp_options table for the bad URL and change the cell that contains it. That should prevent it from looking for something that doesn’t exist.
Thanks iamgarrett.
What would the bad URL look like? Would it be the URL it is forwarding to?
The “bad” URL is wherever it is forwarding that you don’t want it to go. Make sure all the URLs in your wp_options table are the correct ones.
Example:
I prefer to install all my wordpress projects in their own directory (/var/www/example.com/wordpress). After I do this, none of my login or admin links work until after I alter my database’s wp_options table to recognize the front-end of the site to be example.com while the admin/login is example.com/wordpress/wp-admin
So went to the back up zip from Backup Buddy and found the wp_options.sql file and opened it in TextWrangler and did a search for the “bad ” URL and wasn’t able to find the “bad” URL. Do I need find this database somewhere else?
Sorry I am an admitted novice with MYSQL and databases in general.
In that case, you may want to contact the developers of that plugin in order to better work on a solution. I’ve never used it and don’t know what the wp_options.sql file would contain.
@iamgarrett Backup buddy created the issues, which have been fixed. Thanks for your feedback.
Glad you were able to reach a solution.
