Changed subdirectory name after install…now just errors

    I changed the name of my blog subdirectory folder and uploaded it, then tried changing the settings in my WP admin panel and keep getting the database error. Then I go to https://example.com/new blog folder/wp-admin/install.php and get the database connection error.

    It won’t let me access my admin panel using the original folder name either? But, I haven’t changed anything yet because it wouldn’t let me?

    Do I need to create a new wp-config.php? Or is there a WP file(s) that needs the file path modified with the new directory name?

    I know it’s Saturday night, but if anyone can help me with this I’d really appreciate it. I need to get this thing up and running by tomorrow.

    Do I also need to create a new database or will a fresh install of the wp-config file work?

    you changed your subdirectory name where? are you saying you physically moved the files, either by renaming the old directory, or uploading another install into another directory?

    regardless of what you have done.. moving wordpress is covered in the documentation:

    Furthermore, the location of the wordpress files has absolutely nothing to do with your database connection settings.

    My host made a change with my server settings…turns out they had a migration in the last 48 hours.
