Jonas, thank you so much! That article was exactly what I needed to fix the problem. I followed the steps to fix the site using functions.php. You saved me–I was afraid the only way to fix it was by going into the database.
After I fixed it, I did go back and redo the original steps that got me into trouble. I’m pretty sure the original problem was that I changed the wordpress directory instead of the site directory. It all works fine, now–my files are in the subdirectory but the blog comes up when I put in the url for the root. I really appreciate your help!
Rev. Voodoo, thank you. I feel like I was careful to follow the steps in the article, but clearly something isn’t right! I’m sorry to hear that fixing it might require checking inside the database–I think that’s beyond my capabilities. If I can fix it by editing a .php file then I’d be okay, otherwise I think I might have to start over. 🙁
I’m honestly not sure why anybody would do a fresh install in a subdirectory and then immediately want to move it,
Hey Jonas, I don’t actually want to move it. I installed it in a subdirectory on purpose! 🙂 I’m just trying to do what the Codex article describes:
Many people want WordPress to power their site’s root (e.g. http://example.com) but they don’t want all of the WordPress files cluttering up their root directory. WordPress allows you to install it into a subdirectory, but have your blog exist in the site root.
It’s actually quite a typical scenario! It’s just that for some reason my attempt at it failed and I can’t seem to fix it. I appreciate your tips, though, and it may be that doing it the ideal way the article suggests just isn’t in the cards.
ETA: Looking at the General Settings admin panel for my test site in another location, I think I may have changed the WordPress Address URL instead of the Site Address url. I think I may just need to kill it and start over, darn.
Thank you Jonas. I’m actually wanting to keep the files in the subdirectory, which is the scenario the Codex article is supposed to be addressing! Are you suggesting that I move everything temporarily so I can fix something, or would this be the “give up on the subdirectory completely” option?
