I’m beyond confused. But thrilled. I’m afraid to touch anything now. Thinking about doing a normal redirect where the http://www.mayanlighgrids.com just forwards to the wp link for now.

Justin I set it up but its not letting me log onto the dashboard.
http://mayanlightgrids.com When I change things in the wpconfig file it messes up the database.

I assume these are the fields I change to match the old wp config

[never post database details in these forums]

I cant seem to log into the new install after doing all of the above. I assume I use my first WP login info since I linked that database in teh wp-config file

Understood. After this mess I’ll just put it in the root.

So again to make sure I do this right:
1. Install wp into the root. I assume the old one can stay installed for a bit. Copy my old wp-content directory into the new install.
2. change the wp-config.php file to reference the old database. Never done that but I assume its simple.

Thanks so much Justin. Could I get some clarity on this? I do a new and 2nd install of WP in the root. (or can I put it in another folder with a different name than the first?) I’m not sure what to do at this point. Do I take my old wp-content from the first install and copy it to the new install? And won’t it create another database?

I figure it all out after a couple hours working on it. Cache issues and I also had 2 items with the same name that was causing problems. It’s back to working great!

I’ve actually decided to start from scratch as I know a lot more how they work now and I had set them up less than efficient before. Lots of work but it’ll be better in the long run. Ü

No ideas what might be causing this?
