In reply to: need helpDon’t know about that…haven’t looked into it that far…I use it, but not with an ad network. You should be able to download it through the WP admin and take a look to see if it will do what you want.

In reply to: reinstall?There should be a .sql file somewhere in your backup if you have it. Typically, you export that using a tool like phpMyAdmin, but if you have a complete account backup, then it may be in that somewhere as well.

In reply to: reinstall?Do you have the database in that “flat file” copy? If not, then you may be out of luck. If so, then it’s shouldn’t be too difficult.

In reply to: Problems since upgrading to 2.8.2I just helped a person who was having similiar problems. The culprit was the wp super cache plugin. He had uninstalled it through the wp admin, but there were still meg’s of stuff in his wp-content directory as well as entries in his .htaccess file and wp-options table. Once we got rid of all the stuff the plugin left behind that cleared his problem.

In reply to: Moving wordpress file to new directoryOk. I assumed they’d be relative URLs
I think you will find that some are, but quite a few are not.

In reply to: Moving wordpress file to new directoryYou all give the people asking the questions entirely too much credit.
@sweetangst: Don’t you think that’s just a little condescending?
And I feel changing the 2 values may not cause any problem since any other reference to the old URL in the database might only be to the files, which in any case would not change.
That is the precisely the problem…yes they would change! If you move wp-content from the subdirectory to root, then the url to the files stored in the uploads directory there would be changed. Also, any references included in the body of posts, pages, text widgets, etc. would also be broken.
Test it yourself. I assume you have a wp site. Dump your db and do a search/replace on your url…if your db is of any size at all, you will likely see hundreds of replacements…not just two in the options table.

In reply to: Moving wordpress file to new directory@kichu: See the following video and maybe that will show you the problem with just changing those two values.

EDIT: It has been a while since I did that video…it may not clearly show the problem. Basically, the problem is that you may (and probably will) have the blog url scattered throughout the database and simply changing those two values will not be enough.
