    I tried that but when i do this step

    Go to the Administration > Settings > General panel.
    In the box for WordPress Address (URL): change the address to the new location of your main WordPress core files.
    In the box for Site Address (URL): change the address to the new location, which should match the WordPress (your public site) address.

    There is no general panel. I checked other sections and i do not see a WordPress Address URL.

    The path i am taking is My Sites -> Network Admin -> Dashboard -> Settings.
    There is no general

    Metuburr,

    moving files and folders in WordPress can be risky and could corrupt, please remember to take backup first.

    I host my wordpress multisite in linux server with 1 click installation feature and I use that feature.

    so here is what i did.

    > took my backup for both directory and database
    > I created a new folder where I needed to move my site
    > Then copied all files to the new folder, then disabled plugins.
    > edited wp-config.php and .htaccess files in new folder
    > checked the new url if its working fine, with few links test like login, register, etc, wp-admin area (updated new links)
    > updated new link in network site-area in wordpress
    > compressed my old entire directory to be safe again and then deleted files
    > rechecked my new installation again
    > Updated my installation link and folder in Softaculous (Cpanel 1 click installation)
    > then enabled plugins.

    fortunately my database did not show any error, nor any changes were required in it.

    My sites did not have much pages and post in it, so updating post was a very minor issue. but If you have large number of post and images linked to it then I suggest not to do it and if your this site is a membership site, then specialty not to do it by yourself.

    instead go for a fresh installation and copy your upload folder to new directory and then import your post with media file options via wordpress import feature.

    Hope this works for you.

    Metuburr,

    I will like to re-verify few things again with you..

    sites installation or different WordPress installation?

    https://python-gaming.com/ (is a separate site)
    https://python-gaming.com/blog/ (is a empty directory with few public sites // ps – you should add empty index.html file in it)
    https://python-gaming.com/blog/wordpress/ (is a fresh installation)
    https://python-gaming.com/projects/ (is a copied installation from blog/wordpress/ or ?)

    also are you using wordpress mullisite?

    please clarify these things..
