Clone WP in subdirectory

  • Prior to upgrading my WP blog to 3.1, I’ve run a full backup – uploaded my files via FTP to a subdirectory of my live blog, and restored my DB successfully to a fresh one.

    I’ve edited wp-config to point to the new DB, host, etc. But I think I’m not done yet, because I can’t login to the blog via the new subdirectory – it keeps redirecting me back to the root.

    What’s left for me to do?

    Thanks!

  • If it’s redirecting you back to the root, then probably your home page and url settings are still set for the old blog. (The ones you’d use when calling bloginfo())

    These values are in the database; you may have to manually modify them in wp_options using phpmyadmin or similar.

    Thanks a bunch jevets. Worked like a charm.

    BTW, have you seen a plugin that handles backup and restore in one ‘suite’? I have more experience with Joomla and there are solid tools that do all of that on that platform. Is there any equivalent for WP?
