I went in and changed settings in the database. I cleared my cache several times and it looks like everything changed except for the tabs under “Our Work”>>>”What People Are Saying”. Is that still cached somewhere or is it in the menus? All other menus look fine.

Do I just go in and change it under settings>>>general or do I change it at the online manager. I don’t see the websitesettings.com anywhere in the we-config.php. I just see that it’s pointing to the first database that was created. That doesn’t really matter.

I do see:
MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘623913_WSH1’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘SQLADMIN’ changed for obvious reason);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘dbpassword’ (changed for obvious reason);

/** MySQL hostname */ for
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql50-113.wc2.dfw1.stabletransit.com’);

Thank you!

I think I have a pretty serious issue but can’t go changing everything now. I see that someone has possible restored to the wrong database. I’m not sure but in wp-config.php I see it is pointing to the old database. I don’t think that’s such a big deal in that there was nothing wrong with the old database. I need to know how to change the url to the actual root without losing any data that they have changed.

I handed this site over to the client and they were to have Admin access. I have now downgraded them to Editor for the time being.

I believe they are in the root. I don’t know what .php5-1.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com is?? They were originally installed in WPInstall directory then migrated to a site with a brand new WP database. The old database was omitted.

In Settings>>>General I have:

WordPress Address (URL) http://www.wesharehope.org.php5-1.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com

Site Address (URL)
http://www.wesharehope.org.php5-1.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com

I have no idea where these settings are coming from.

I am very worried about losing their changes. I did read through the articles and just need some guidance on doing this so I don’t mess it up. It has to be seemless to them when I do it.

Velvet Blues Update URLs is a plugin to fix references of the wrong url with the correct url. Rereference each instance. It was part of the article http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress that you sent me to in the above reply.

I ended up deleted everything from database and new instance of WordPress and starting over.
Issue resolved! Thank you!

I had WP installed in a test folder on my server. I migrated to the parent folder on the same server. I backed up all files and database. Setup a new database. Installed wordpress. Ftp’d my files into the new parent directory then used phpmyadmin to import database. I checked my wp-config file. Went in and saved my permalinks. I’m fresh out of ideas.

They want a box that contains text that changes every few seconds. I downloaded some widgets but they don’t work because they are for sidebars and the client had me get rid of all of the sidebars. They didn’t want them.
They also asked me to put a box around the social icons but it took me forever to learn how to program just the social icons themselves. They worked fine in the sidebar until the client said they didn’t want the sidebar.
I probably do need more help then. You said not to move the functions.php but all of the social icon code is setup in there and it took me weeks to get it that way. What happens to all of the stuff I’ve already setup on the site? How does the site now know how to look at the new child instead of the parent where it is now?
Thank you!!
