    I have changed the directory of my blog on my server, but not the url. I followed these instructions but I must have done something wrong so I decided to revert back to my backup and put the files back in the same place. This didn’t resolve as I had changed the setting in general options to https://example.com/wp. So now I’ve come full circle and moved the files back to where they should be following the instructions, and I can see my blog but it’s not picking up the theme or anything: my site and I can’t get into wp-admin now to change anything. Not sure if/how to go in on the backend. Any help greatfully appreciated!!

  • Your blog is missing the style sheet.

    Thanks for the replies folks. As for the url posted, I was under the impression I don’t need to change anything in the mysql db unless I was changing url. I am only changing directories. Do I need to get into mysql changes? Seems my blog is picking up all the content, just not my theme etc.

    The stylesheet is in the same place it always was (in the themes directory), but is now one level further down i.e. the WP added: /WP/wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css why would this not be able to be accessed, since I changed the WP url in general options to also include the WP in the directory structure.

    So should I be able to login at https://zoutpiel.com/wp/wp-admin if my directory on my server has files: home/wp/wpfiles and subdirectories.

    I’m sure it’s just something small! Thanks for the help!

    I’ve now moved the files back to where they were, but am seeing no change on my page. Still no stylesheet. How do I change the general admin setting back to exclude the /wp/ subdirectory, since I now cannot login to wordpress. Hopefully if I can change this back everything will be back to the way it was! Thanks.

    ok resolved. After opening the login file directly I could login and change the dir structure. couldn’t see where to change in the files tho. Anyway. Thanks for the help.
