In reply to: Images Not Working after MigrationAre you talking about the directions under “Using a pre-existing subdirectory install”? THANKS!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Images Not Working after MigrationI don’t see any direction at the link you provided about root directory installs, just subfolder installs. Also, for clarification, I haven’t physically moved any files, just pointed a new domain to the /blog/ subfolder WordPress has always been in.

In reply to: Migrating WordPress – Is It Really That Easy?No, it’s not a core code update. It’s update on code for our custom designed sites.
If you don’t understand what I’m asking, please let me know. I know it’s confusing 😉 I REALLY appreciate your help, but I want to make sure I’m doing the right thing because if this blog gets screwed up, my boss will have my neck!
The final URL after the migration will be http://ourdomain/blog. The URL before the migration is http://ourdomain/blog. The datasource is the same. Do I just have to copy over the folders and repoint the site? Can it possibly harm the blog to have two sets of templates operating at the same time? I may have to switch back to the old site for a while during testing.
I’m fine with it if it doesn’t work and generates errors. It’s worth a try. But if it damages the database, I’m doomed. Have you done these types of migrations before?
THANKS!!!!

In reply to: Migrating WordPress – Is It Really That Easy?We’re doing a code update across our sites. I have all the new pages in a testing directory. I want to point our domain to the testing directory when we go live. But our WordPress directory (http://ourdomain/blog/) is in the root. After I point the domain to the testing directory, the root will be one level up.
That’s why I’m a little uncertain about the article. It says “If database and URL remains the same, you can move by just copying your files and database.” But we don’t have a different datasource. The blog is staying on the same server and we can access the database from any folder on our account. So, I would think that all I have to do is copy our WordPress folder to the new directory so that when we go live, everything will work (the blog folder will still be located one level down from the root). Is this true? Or will moving the files to a different directory cause problems?

In reply to: View RSS CodeHow have you been doing it? Is there a WP page I can just open with Dreamweaver, or does it require a live page for server interaction? I’m using the downloadable WP package…

In reply to: View RSS CodeIt should say stuff like below?:
<div class=”apple-rss-article apple-rss-read” onclick=”handleArticleClick(this)” showSeparator=”true” articlesortdate=”0309812722.000000″ articlesorttitle=”test post” articlesortsource=”” sourceindex=”0″ articlesortid=”00000000000000000006″ articlelocaldate=”0309823050.791205″ articleid=”9c494c209c3d18da63c74a48b3dfa4b014cef8de”>
I assumed “apple-rss-article apple-rss-read” was added by Safari. Maybe I only need to worry about attributes like articlesorttitle, though. I’m trying to display the feed on another web site…
