Hi everyone,

Thanks for your answers. I did find and activate the search and replace plug-in, but got this message when I attempted to use it:

» Attempting to perform search and replace …

» Search http://thomaskaufman.com/wordpress … and replace with http://thomaskaufman.com/author

Looking & Replace @ all …

Sorry, http://thomaskaufman.com/wordpress is not found in this Database(tho1127803404051)!

What’ weird is that certain images refer back to the old address, so the plug-in should’ve changed those…

Govpatel sent me some code, but I do not know where the code is supposed to go?

thanks

So you’re saying to use Meta widget, and find a jpg image and make it click-able so someone can subscribe to my blog? Are there instructions about this? And do I use feedbuner as part of it?

thanks

Do you mean this one?

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-meta-widget/

Right, i have very few skills, i know. But here’s the thing — if you look at my home page, you can see that someone (my daughter) has used the like button (here’s an image: http://imgur.com/R1AIm) but no face image of her

So, I’ve generated the code again making sure the url was correct, and used the iframe code and and placed it in a widget in the footer — still nothing.

From what you’re saying, I need to make the like button refer to the entire site, not just the blog. I do that by adding the iframe code to the theme .php?

Do you know which page of .php code I should use?

thanks

Thanks for your note.

1. The like button already appears on every page of my site, including the blog page. Can you see it?

2. I don’t know where or how to check this:
“Could you please put the like button (with the url “http://thomaskaufman.com/author/”) and the facepile widgets (make sure the url is also “http://thomaskaufman.com/author/” – watch for the trailing slashes)”

3. I have three choices of code, but don’t know which (HTML5 XFBML IFRAME) to use.

4. On the Facebook Developers page I ran the debugger and got this error:
Redirect Path
original: http://thomaskaufman.com/author
301: http://thomaskaufman.com/author/
og:url: http://thomaskaufman.com/author
Final URL is in bold (this is the URL we tried to extract metadata from).
URLs that are part of the circular redirect path are highlighted.

thanks,

Tom

You’re right, some of the images stubbornly keep the old /wordpress directory as part of their url, while others don’t. What I’ve tried Velvet Blues, Replace URLs but it didn’t do everything it should have.

What kind of search and replace plugin would work? Any recommendations?

thanks

Here’s what’s so strange:

My old directory is http://www.myurl.com/wordpress so wordpress has its own place off the root.

My new directory is http://www.myurl.com/author

Everything works fine EXCEPT for images. I’ve used Velvet Blues Update URLs plugin and it seemed to work for the new directory. I thought, sweet, and deleted my old /wordpress folder. THEN all the images for the /author site went away.

I restored the old /wordpress folder, and the images came back, even though i was now using the new folder (author)

So I renamed the old folder /wordpress_old and guess what? The images went away again (thought I could read their descriptions on the page) I changed the name of the old directory back to /wordpress and the images once again returned.

So…anyone have an idea what’s going on here?

thanks

Wow, this is unbelievably complicated. All I want to do is move WP from one directory to another. Is there no simple way to do that?

I have gone to settings > general > and input the new WP address and new site address…
