 * Hi James,
 * Yes, Multi-site install.
 * I see the section that talks about Multi-Site in the support article you shared
   but it seems to reference moving to a new server or changing domains.
 * All I need to do is change the directory and I don’t see any reference to that?
   Is there another article I should be referencing?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * In step 3-5 of the support documentation for moving directories on your existing
   sever:
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_Directories_On_Your_Existing_Server](https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_Directories_On_Your_Existing_Server)
 * It states to:
 * 3. Go to the Administration > Settings > General panel.
    4. In the box for WordPress
   Address (URL): change the address to the new location of your main WordPress 
   core files. 5. In the box for Site Address (URL): change the address to the new
   location, which should match the WordPress (your public site) address.
 * When I go to the Administration > Settings > General panel I do not see anything
   that references WordPress Address (URL): or Site Address (URL): and therefor 
   I cannot complete these first steps?
 * Am I doing something wrong?

 * > Did you undo that change in wp-config.php
 * Hi James,
 * Thanks again for your support on this!
 * Yes, immediately after making the 5 character change to the config file and realizing
   it broke the site I edited the file back to it’s original state. Upon doing so,
   I still got the two error messages I listed above.
 * When accessing [http://www.pismocoastsurfcamp.com/wp](http://www.pismocoastsurfcamp.com/wp)
   I get the permission error:
    Forbidden You don’t have permission to access /wp/
   on this server.
 * And when I access the wp-admin:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING
   in /home/pismocoa/public_html/wp/wp-config.php on line 79
 * Should I focus on the first message and consult my host to see if the permissions
   need to be updated?
 * Should I create a brand new config file and and manually enter my specific credentials(
   since I didn’t make a back up, banging head on computer)?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi James,
 * Thank you for the support article! It sounds like that’s the one I should have
   used…(I used a different set of instructions I found on the support forum) and
   unfortunately now that I broke the site…I can’t use the correct one you linked.
   🙁
 * It appears I need to fix what I broke before I can follow the correct directions?
 * In hindsight I should have also made a copy of the wp-config.php prior to changing
   it. In my defense my logic was that I was literally just removing five characters‘/
   wp’ and if it didn’t work I could just add them back. Lesson learned the hard
   way…
 * So here’s were I’m at:
 * 1. I’m 99% sure its a multi-site, not a single instal but how can I tell?
 * 2. The only changes I made were to the wp-config.php file on line 78.
 * I changed the path from:
    define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’,’/wp/’); To: define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’,’/’);
 * I was then going to move the wordpress files out of a folder called WP to the
   root directory. Upon doing so it broke the site. I tried to put the files back
   into the WP directory and add the /wp back to the config file to no avail.
 * 3. Now when I go to the original URL [http://www.pismocoastsurfcamp.com/wp](http://www.pismocoastsurfcamp.com/wp)
   I am greeted with the following error:
 * Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /wp/ on this server. Additionally,
   a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to
   handle the request
 * If I try to go to the admin panel at [http://pismocoastsurfcamp.com/wp/wp-admin/](http://pismocoastsurfcamp.com/wp/wp-admin/)
   I’m greeted with this error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/pismocoa/public_html/
   wp/wp-config.php on line 79
 * Looking at line 79 in the config file its the line below the one I tried to edit.
   I read that the error could be a hidden character like a space or something but
   I can’t find one.
 * So…..given all that info. Do you or does anyone have any idea of what I need 
   to do to get the site back up so I can follow the correct article you posted?
   The first error message that speaks to not having proper permissions….is that
   something I should focus on?
 * I really need help and would be very grateful for some. Thanks. 🙂

 * Login with Ajax is what I was using but I removed the plugin and tried using 
   the standard wp login widget. When attempting to login, it accepts the username
   and password but just takes you back to the homepage (not logged in).
 * I’m stumped and really need some help

 * Hello
 * I’m trying to accomplish this same task if someone could be provide some assistance.
 * When the visitor clicks on the Login With Ajax register link, I need to point
   them to a different register page. Is this possible?
 * Or, as a side question. If I do not point to another page, is there a way to 
   add more security such as manual approval to the registration process? As it 
   stands now, a new visitor can register with just a name and email. This seems
   like a recipe for spam accts?
 * my example is here: [http://splitboard.com](http://splitboard.com)
 * Thanks!
