First I have www.mywebsite.com/blog/ Which is another wordpress Blog under www.mywebsite.com.
Then I created a page inside www.mywebsite.com which has a url of www.mywebsite.com/blog/.
I want to change the first www.mywebsite.com/blog into www.mywebsite.com/blog2 so It won't confuse me anymore.
After changing the permalinks in the admin panel. I can't access www.mywebsite.com/blog anymore.
Is there any way to access the page of the original www.mywebsite.com/blog2/wp-admin? and view the duplicated page www.mywebsite.com/blog/?
Please comments if my question confuses you.
Thanks.
When moving your site, give the guide to moving wordpress or, in this case better, the guide of changing the wordpress url a glance.
Suppose you changed the URIs where you cannot move the files, but still can access the login page (through a redirection or something) you can recover your installation easily.
wp-login.php can be used to (re-)set the URIs. Find this line:
require( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );
and insert the following lines below:
//FIXME: do comment/remove these hack lines. (once the database is updated)
update_option('siteurl', 'http://your.domain.name/the/path' );
update_option('home', 'http://your.domain.name/the/path' );
run it (once) and you are done. Test your site to make sure that it works right. If the change involves a new address for your blog, make sure you let people know the new address, and consider adding some redirection instructions in your .htaccess file to guide visitors to the new location. Delete those lines from your wp-login.php.

I found a similar topic but it didn´t solve my problem. I installed a WordPress Multisite. I changed all the values manually that are described in endless forums and tutorials.
My Website > Network > Website > Edit > Info
--> Here the site url stays with http (See pic)
My Website > Network > Website > Edit > Settings
--> Here the site url and home have been changed to https (See pic)
Why?
I checked my changes endless times. The changes should be all correct and done where they should. Still the main site url stays at http what I don´t understand. I have done the changes regarding to this tutorial and others:
https://wpengine.com/support/how-to-change-a-multi-site-primary-domain/
Also I put in the values
define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://somedomain.com' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://somedomain.com' );
just to be sure! It didn´t do anything so I deleted this last part again.
Can u please help me. This is so frustrating.
Picture of the problem
Someone from the German wordpress.org site helped me out with a link form Stack Exchange. So in case someone had the same issue, here is a possible solution that helped me out. That´s his words regarding to this link: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/355888/129212
"Workaround:
1.) Make a backup of the database. No backup, no pity.
2.) In wp-config.php, comment out the code block for multisite with the prefix // in front of each line (do not delete).
Analogous:
// define ('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
// define ('MULTISITE', true);
// define ('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
// $ base = '/';
// define ('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'example.com');
// define ('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
// define ('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
// define ('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
3.) Login again and change the URL to https://example.com (with your domain) under Settings > General
4.) In the wp-config.php delete in the code block the comment characters // for multisite.
Analogous:
define ('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define ('MULTISITE', true);
define ('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
$ base = '/';
define ('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'example.com');
define ('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define ('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define ('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
5.) Carry on as if nothing had happened."
He said that it seems that WordPress didn´t consider that the main page / parent page would change in any way. So it is the easiest way to return with the previous steps to a "normal site", change the urls and then "activate" Multisite again.
Hope it helps! See ya!
The WP is redirecting the home page to the home_url (or site_url not sure since both are the same values) even when arrived to the page using the parked domains. This started after the recent update. Also, I confirmed, no htaccess, server configs nor any plugins doing the redirect.
After thorough research the solution I found are placing the following in the functions.php remove_action('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical');. That solution is years old and don't seem to work anymore.
The way I set it up is I park the domains to the WP site, and the contents displayed are based on the domain. Just happens on the index page, if it has any urls appended, it works. Any help is appreciated.
It looks like the new version of the WP enforced the redirect on homepage. My issue was resolved with the remove_filter('template_redirect','redirect_canonical');. I wasn't able to see the change in effect after I applied that fix because the browser cached it somehow. I tested it on the Private mode, and it worked. I had to clear the cache to see it working.
I ran into the same issue and got i fixed, thanks to your answer. However, what are the implications of removing that filter? It sound important by name, so did you experience some new issues so far?
PS: i would have posted a comment to the previous answer, but my stackoverflow points are below 50...
LTDInvestments is actually correct. In your wp-config.php, ensure that 'WP_HOME' and 'WP_SITEURL' have values which are lowercased.
This fixed it for me; I guess case-sensitivity is something you should mind throughout your wp-config.php and wp-admin settings.
This works for me (as for version 5.9.3):
add_filter( 'redirect_canonical', 'disable_redirect_canonical', 10, 2 );
function disable_redirect_canonical( $redirect_url ) {
return false;
}
Note: this removes redirecting for urls that partly match slug of content that exists for example domain.com/terms will no longer redirect to domain.com/terms-and-conditions but instead return a 404 page.
Also changing the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) to all lower case works.
Here's my issue. My company needs a vendor database added to our wordpress website. None of the existing plugins will even come close to what we need, and we already have a mysql database with all of our information, so we need to create a plugin or something to do what we need.
These urls need to be direct-accessible and have SEF urls. So, for example:
mysite.com/vendors/
mysite.com/vendors/pipe-manufacturers/
mysite.com/vendor/bobs-pipes/
And, the custom content needs to appear inside the wordpress template.
There are really 2 options:
1) Find a way to write our application outside of wordpress, but find a way to bootstrap wordpress to show the header, footer, and sidebar.
2) Run the app from inside wordpress.
So I went for option #2. I created a new template file named "vendor.php", and began working. I added this code to my functions.php of my theme:
add_filter( 'template_include', 'xyz_template_check' );
function xyz_template_check() {
global $template;
$rqst = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$ra = split("/", $rqst);
if ($ra[1] == "vendors") {
$template_file = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/vendors.php';
return $template_file;
}
return $template;
}
So what the above code does, if it sees the word "vendors" as the first part of the url after the site name, it sends you to vendor.php. This works PERFECTLY....
except...
Wordpress believes that the page is not found. It returns a 404 header, and NOT FOUND into the page title and breadcrumb.
Adding a PAGE called "Vendor Database" with the permalink "/vendors/" fixes the main page. But there will be literally hundreds of vendors and different categories. I cant be creating a custom page for each one. This needs to be dynamic.
So, how do I make wordpress give a 200, and supply an acceptable page title, breadcrumb, etc.
Don't even get me started on the danged wp_title filter. This did NOT work as documented. Although, it just occurred to me that this might be an issue with Wordpress SEO (the wp_title filter issue).
Anyone got an idea on this?
Ok got this. The solution was to use the rewrite api, as mentioned above, to look for the pattern /vendors/, letting it know that it was a valid URL. Coupled with my existing template override, this is what I needed.
how to change the link in the wordpress email with newpassword?
this information we get when we click on forgot password.
username : admin
password : admin
http://www.example.com/wp-login.php
here i want to change this url "http://www.example.com/wp-login.php" and set my own url... how can i do?
some reference code:
if ( !function_exists('is_user_logged_in') ) :function is_user_logged_in() {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
You can hook into the retrieve_password_message filter
function someFunction($message, $key){
}
add_filter('retrieve_password_message', 'someFunction');
You would then have to use the "someFunction" function to parse the $message variable and change the link.
The message variable contains the entire message. So you could simply trim the message based on the number of characters then tack on your new link...
HTH
(Untested)
Using hooks would be my first thought so that you wouldn't have to edit any core files, however I have used the SB Welcome Email Editor plugin a couple times for this exact reason. Their are a couple plugins like this out their and they are fairly light weight and allow full customization of all Wordpress generated emails.
Try using a plugin such as Theme My Login, which does everything for you.
Editing core wordpress files is never a good idea, when updating wordpress, you'll loose all your work.
You can simply follow steps if you want to edit your code file.
Go to your wordpress folder. Look for the following files:
1. /wp-login.php
2. /includes/functions.php
Change the all the codes which contains wp-login.php into your custom URL.
for example: admin.php or client-login.php
Now you can changed your login/signup URL into your custom URL.
Known issue: You can find some database error if you make any mistakes. Just refresh the page and try with the customized Url it will work...

I've been looking for this all over, and simply cannot find it.
I have a blog that has no titles in its blog posts, but I'd like, for various usability reasons, to have the permalinks use the first few words from entries that do not have titles as the permalink slug.
ie, if the post on sample.com/blog is
Title: (no title)
Content: Ten Easy Ways to Lose Weight
The permalink could be sample.com/blog/ten-easy-ways-to-lose-weight.
Are there any plugins that do this? For the life of me, I cannot find one. (xposted to WP support, but no one is responding)
You could enter in titles, and then not display them in your view template.
I doubt there's anything like this already built for wordpress. To get your blog to do this, you have to write a plugin that does the following:
Generates the slug while checking
for uniqueness should you ever start
more than one entry with the same words
Processes URL requests to recognize slug permalinks and then updates the query step to locate the correct post in the database. This might involve a new db table of slugs (which would also help with the uniqueness issue)
In short, WP is designed to retrieve almost everything by keys, and to support slugs like this you'd have to create a new key type.
btw: if anything is retrieved by IDs (keys), it is technically not a permalink. so, wordpress probably fails in providing true permalinks.
ps: it's not that difficult to write an handler/dispatcher that would parse URL and takle out the unique permalink and then match it to the DB by the string (not by the key!).
something like:
$url=$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
echo 'URL called: ',$url,'<br />';
$dispatchfile=$dispatcher->Dispatch($url);
if ($dispatchfile)
{
echo 'launching ',$dispatchfile,' inclusion<br />';
require($dispatchfile);
}
else
{
echo 'dispatcher failed to find module, will check physical file<br />';
if (file_exists($url)) echo 'dispatcher found physical file<br />';
else echo 'nada, throw 404!';
}
You can get a permalink redirect plugin from
http://scott.yang.id.au/code/permalink-redirect/
Works fine with WP2.71
It takes the Title and auto-creates a slug from that so you would have to manually enter the slug you wanted for each page if you have a Blank Title.
You should be able to hack Scott's PHP file (it is one page only) to look up the page code and select a portion of it to use as a slug though.
In addition, I solve incorrect page requests using a .htaccess rewrite file to bring up the index page upon an incorrect page request.
Download a copy of my rewrite file here
https://oulixes.com/htaccess_example.zip
Unzip the txt file and rename as .htaccess and upload into your root directory
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Billy
