Many Thanks for all your help with this. I’m delighted with the help and feedback given.

I managed to get the site back up and live. 🙂 I went back to the start and using a combination of all the methods and links given to me I managed to rename the URL in the general settings panel.

I then moved all “live” files in a new directory via FTP. Finally I moved all the files from the subdirectory (www.mysite.com/wordpress) into the main directory (www.mysite.com/wordpress)

Then I went back into the wp-config.php file and removed the code.
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com/wordpress’);
define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com/wordpress’);

The site went live but there are just 2 small glitches left
1. When I click the Home button it brings me back to the original path (www.mysite.com/wordpress) where there are no longer any files. All other links are working fine though.

2. I’ve uploaded 2 images but they are showing up as broken links.

Is there a way of making sure all the paths for links, images, video etc.. link back to the main directory from now on? Do I need to start a new thread for this?

Thanks

Didn’t work 🙁 I know I’m doing something wrong but I’m not sure what…

I stayed on the general options page
Opened the wp-config.php file
Deleted the 2 lines of code
Refreshed the general options page
and got error 404 file not found.

One of the guys in the wordpress chat suggested removing the htaccess file but I can’t find this.

Hi Chris,

I managed to change the URL back to the original and access the admin panel again but when I get back into the general panel I can’t change the URL – it is in a dark grey colour and I can’t select it.

Thanks

[No bumping. If it’s that urgent, consider hiring someone.]

I am still none the wiser about this – Is there anyone who can provide help get this site live?
