I have moved a WordPress site to a new host by copying the public_html folder and importing the database. I have updated the name-servers for the domain. The address is www.casavulturului.com. I have changed the wp-config and I generated a new .htaccess and my site now displays an older version of it and so losing part of the work I've done to it. I have flushed the dns and deleted the cache. I don't see where the problem is. Please help.
It fixed by itself aft6er a couple days. Seems it didn't have time to refresh

As much as may sound like a broken record - I changed the URLs on my WP site, and now I get a 404.
What I wanted to do:
Change site URL from www.SiteA.com to www.SiteB.com
All WP files were at the time in another directory in the same hosting account. I needed them in the root directory, accessible by www.SiteB.com
What I did:
Backed up locally and remotely - Database and files.
Edited URL's through dashboard on WP - got a login error afterward, but seemed to do it anyway.
Moed ALL old site files from root to backup folder.
Moed ALL wordpress files from original directory to root directory.
Then I got a 404 error and was unable to access WP-admin or login through the new or old URL.
What I tried to fix the issue:
Noticed http should be https - changed this in 'options' within phpmyadmin, both at 'siteurl' and in 'home'.
Still 404
Then I tried defining the db_name in the wp-config file.
Still 404
Then I gae up, changed the URL's back using myphpadmin, and moed the filed back to their original directory. Now I can login to WP as usual and eerything is fine.
Why can't I access the site when I moe it into the root directory - I thought I had all the steps right!
Thanks in adance for any help
oh..and apologies, my keyboard is missing a few keys :(
Wordpress stores url/permalinks on database field values as well, changing only the configuration files will not be enough.
I am pretty sure there are other options, on my case i use often perform Wordpress website migrations, and the following tool becomes really handy when search and replacing domains on the database records.

Hope it helps.

This happened to be an SSL issue where the host for our SSL certificate was conflicting with the stylesheet somehow. 0_o
I have recently transferred my wordpress site to hostgator. I have only changed the hosting, the domain name is still the same. After transferring my site all the images in the site are invisible even if i upload any new image its is not showing on site.
I have tried to upload the "UPLOAD" folder again and also changed the permissions but the result is still the same.
Please help me as this is a critical issue for me.
My site URL is www.animationcoursesahmedabad.com
define('WP_HOME','http://animationcoursesahmedabad.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://animationcoursesahmedabad.com');
Put this in wp-config.php at root
I see a lot of javascript errors. That may be the problem.
I have a Wordpress site that was installed in a /wordpress/ folder, so when you try to access the website it will look like www.example-domain.com/wordpress/
The problem is recently I decided to move it to the root directory so that the site can be accessed by just going to the www.example-domain.com
So what I did first is download SQL dump, then delete the old installation of WordPress, installed a fresh one and overwrite the Database using SQL dump.
Everything went well, but when I tried to view the site this came up.
And I also noticed that whenever I tried to access to the dashboard through www.example-domain.com/wp-login.php
It will say that it is missing
The requested URL /wordpress/wp-login.php was not found on this
server.
So I am under the impression that it still points to the old installation.
How can I fix this?
You need to login to the database and manually edit 2 entries. In the wp_options table you can find siteurl and home. Update those appropriately, you should then be able to login properly.
You also need to update your .htaccess file but if you edit your permalink options and then change them back this should rewrite it for you.
For future reference to simply change directory of your installation if you login to the WP admin and go to Admin -> Settings -> General you can change the Wordpress Address and Site Address (the options you changed manually in the database) there. Once changed simply copy the entire installation folder to the new location and that will be it. It's easier to make the changes before you move it than after.
Update the table wp_options for siteurl and home with respective values.
Also change .htaccess file
You need to set a couple of paths in the database to the new directory.
try to search for records that include "/wordpress" and remove it.
This solved a similar problem for me.
I tried to move my beta Wordpress site to my live domain, and now everything's broken. I have no idea how to fix this. Here's what I did:
I had a site running at mydomain.com, but I wanted to rebuild it. So I downloaded a new installation of WordPress at mydomain.com/test and built a new theme.
I finished the new theme and was ready to move it to mydomain.com. I decided to leave everything in the subdomain for the move, so I followed these instructions.
It worked fine. Mydomain.com was displaying the new site.
Then, I stupidly decided that I wanted to rename the subdirectory from /test to /v2 (because I wanted a cleaner name and I wanted to leave /test open for testing rather than use it for my new site).
Everything broke.
I tried to change the subdirectory back to /test because the site was working with that, but everything is still broken. The theme doesn't seem to be loading. My site is not displaying any styles. My photos aren't displaying correctly. My plugins are gone.
Is there any way to fix this? Please tell me I didn't just lose 3 months of work...
This is my site.
The database,will have the url set to mydomain.com/test
you will need to update the db entries see below script

Sounds like you need to update your siteurl and home values in your Wordpress Database. Log in to your cPanel and go to phpMyAdmin. From there you should be able to open your WordPress MySQL Database.
Go to your wp-options table and make sure that your siteurl (option_id 1) and home (option_id 37) values are using the correct path ie http://mcography.com/test
You may also need to update your permalinks. Even though you don't have to change any options, saving the permalinks again should refresh your .htaccess file.
This is a weird one. I googled for hours but seems to me not a single person has this same issue.
I moved my website from http://www.domain1.com/wpfolder to http://www.domain2.com . Everything works fine except I cannot get the "wp-login.php?redirect_to" path to point to the correct url.
WordPress keeps setting it to:
"wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://www.domain2.com/wpfolder/wp-admin&reauth=1"
It should be setting it to:
"wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://www.domain2.com/wp-admin&reauth=1"
The "wpfolder" doesn't exist anymore..
I followed the instructions exactly on how to move a WordPress website, but the darn URL won't change...
Some forum mentioned changing the "site_url" and "home" from "http://www.domain2.com" to "http://domain2.com". Now I can finally get to the admin panel, but I don't get why it needs to be that way?
I cleaned my browser cookies and checked the wp-content folder for cache already. Nada..
Also the rest of the site is functional.
I would appreciate if anyone can help.
I moved the WordPress website from GoDaddy to Bluehost by copying the files and the database and the problem went away. I am not sure why this fixed it, but assuming it has something do with the cache.
If anybody has more information, I would love to read about it.
Thanks
I was facing the same issue, with same redirection to one of the sub-directory in which wordpress was installed.
Resolved this issue, by clearing the cache, if some cache plugin is active.
Or by deleting the cache plugin if any present and is currently not yet active.
As some entries made by cache plugin inside wp-config.php file creates the above mentioned problem.
After removing the cache plugin, it resolves the WP-admin URL issues.
