Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress from a SubdirectoryI ended up having to keep everything in a subdirectory in order for the site to work.
So I am back to the following settings:
WordPress address (URL): http://example.com/wordpress
Website address (URL): http://example.com/wordpressI am just stuck with /wordpress in the url. Yahoo told me there is nothing they can do about this. I think the only solution is to switch hosts.

In reply to: Moving WordPress from a SubdirectoryThey are both the same after moving the files into the root:
WordPress address (URL): http://example.com
Website address (URL): http://example.comI spoke with Yahoo and they said WP must be installed in a subdirectory.
They do not allow an .htaccess file so the subdirectory shows in the URL for all pages.
Ex. http://example.com/wordpress/contactForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress from a SubdirectoryI moved all of the wordpress files to the root directory and ran the updates on the database.
The homepage loads but all of the other pages still come up with 404 not found error.
If I change the permalinks to the default settings the pages do load correctly with the id’s but I cannot get the permalinks to work right. Is there anything else that would cause this?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress from a SubdirectoryI just used mysite.com as an example. I would replace that with my actually domain.
I will give it a shot. Thanks!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress from a SubdirectoryI do have access to phpmyadmin but am not real familiar with it.
I see that all the table prefixes begin with wp_Would I just run the following on the SQL tab?
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://www.mysite.com/wordpress', 'http://www.mysite.com') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl'; UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://www.mysite.com/wordpress', 'http://www.mysite.com'); UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://www.mysite.com/wordpress', 'http://www.mysite.com');If I do this do I still need to make the changes mentioned above?
Thanks!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress from a SubdirectoryThanks for the replys. My site is hosted with Yahoo and there is no .htaccess file.
I changed the following settings in WordPress:
WordPress address (URL): http://example.com/wordpress
Website address (URL): http://example.comI then edited index.php and changed the line that says:
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
to:
require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);Now the sites homepage loads but all of the links are broken.
It just says “404 – Not Found”Is there something else I need to do?
