    Tried to move a testsite to the root directory for a client…followed the codex instructions perfectly….but at one point they say to change the URI’s…which are now URL’s in the settings-general-tab within the dashboard.

    After doing so, you cant get back into the admin area to complete their steps….

    WTF? Could you people please make using wordpress less of a ‘i wanna kill myself task’ and get your selves together?

    I’m sure I’m not the only one with issues trying t move a site from one directory to another….

  • Well, it looks like there’s a problem in your theme’s functions.php file now.

    line 37 is blank in the functions.php file…..

    I think that refers to the place where it leaves that file for the next step…..

    then breaks in pluggable.php on line 890?

    IDK…

    No – the issue is around line 37 in functions.php. Please read the page at the link I gave above.

    that fixed it! I had extra lines, blank ones…that were f’ing it all up.

    thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    So, one last question….when I remove the index.html file from the root, the wp site should take over correct? Right now the old temp place holder is still showing….

    Glad to hear that you’ve got it working. I’ve no idea why you didn’t have these errors before the move.

    when I remove the index.html file from the root, the wp site should take over correct?

    Yes – assuming your host has set a property DirectoryIndex up.If index.php doesn’t kick in automatically, try adding DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm to the top of your root .htaccess file.
