i transitioned my site (www.willowbilliards.com) from the wordpress subdirectory to the root folder. however, now for some reason when i go to login at http://willowbilliards.com/wp-login.php and i enter my login information, rather than be brought to my dashboard, i then get brought to this url, http://willowbilliards.com/wordpress/wp-login.php. At that url, i basically see the finished site. but why doesnt it log me in to my dashboard????? help!!!!
it is because its still picking the old path there is a file wp-config please take backup and then edit correct path in it Regards alex
yeah, i had to uninstall and reinstall wordpress and i backed up the database so the site is up and running and fully functional now. though i have no idea what caused the original issue. but thanks anyway.
The problem is when you moved source files, the paths (home path and wordpress path) are still remained in the database. You must change these path by: - using some raw sql queries via phpMyAdmin (they're in the wp_options table) - or using wp-config.php to define WP constants (see Codex for wp-config.php)
