Are there any limitations on the slug that I should know about? I’m using 9 lowercase letters and a numeral at the end. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[All-In-One Security (AIOS) – Security and Firewall] Locked out of admin page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locked-out-of-admin-page-3/) * Thread Starter [bartography](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bartography/) * (@bartography) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locked-out-of-admin-page-3/#post-7347203) * Thank you.

It turned out that the new Akismet key was coincidental. The issue turned out to be a Yahoo database issue. It’s been fixed, and all is well (except for a few lost comments following a “corrupted entry”). * Marking as resolved… * Chris * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Comments vanished from blog and from dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-vanished-from-blog-and-from-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [bartography](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bartography/) * (@bartography) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-vanished-from-blog-and-from-dashboard/#post-5073926) * Marking this one as resolved… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Comments vanished from blog and from dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-vanished-from-blog-and-from-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [bartography](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bartography/) * (@bartography) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-vanished-from-blog-and-from-dashboard/#post-5073925) * You were right on the money, Tara — it was a Yahoo database issue.

And yes, I have been in touch with Yahoo, but so far, I’m hearing how they don’t support WordPress. I’m trying to get them to see this as a database issue rather than a WordPress issue. Any key words or terms to drop with Yahoo customer service would be much appreciated. * In the meantime, do any other likely explanations come to mind? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Switching directories, preserving permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switching-directories-preserving-permalinks/) * Thread Starter [bartography](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bartography/) * (@bartography) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switching-directories-preserving-permalinks/#post-1020117) * Thanks, Rob. * The message doesn’t keep me from changing WordPress Address or Blog Address. * I do have the Customizable Permalinks plugin activated, and here’s what I used for the customized permalink when I imported from Blogger: * /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html * Once I’m publishing from [http://mydomain.info/blog](http://mydomain.info/blog), that will match how my permalinks looked when published from Blogger. * So, you’re thinking that if I rename the WordPress directory from /blog1/ to / blog/ and change those WordPress and Blog addresses, I’ll be in good shape?
