Updated the Settings->General incorrectly

  • I created a blog on my website. I wanted this blog to be
    accessible at https://<URL>/blog

    so I updated the settings->General URL settings to
    https://<URL>/blog
    (in both the properties)

    Now, I am getting these errors

    The requested URL /blog/wp-login.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

  • is the wordpress install in a folder called ‘blog’?
    The url points to a folder if you add a slash (‘/’) after it and some text, the system will look in the folder the url poits to – for a folder with the name following the slash – in your case it is looking for the wordpress install to be in a folder called ‘blog’

    No. It’s installed in default directory.

    How do I move the current blog I have to :
    https://<URL>/blog?

    This is what I would like. When users go to https://<URL>/blog, they should
    see the blog contents

    If you want to display your blog as the frontpage you can simply specify such settings within Settings-> Reading and set up the blog frontpage there. You may need to go to Pages-> and edit the blog page url to blog in order to load your blog posts under your_website_url.com/blog

    Does the content of my current blog also move to your_website_url.com/blog?
    Do I need to create a page called “blog” before

    Front page displays Front page displays
    Your latest posts
    A static page (select below)
    Front page: blog
    Posts page: blog

    Maybe you better explain your current setup a bit more. You said you installed WordPress in the folder pointed to with your_website_url.com.

    Do you have something other than wordpress at that location too?

    If this is all a wordpress site and you want the blog part of the site to be at your_website_url.com/blog, then you could create a static page as your front page, add a page called ‘Blog’ and then at dashboard->settings->reading, set Front page displays to the static page (you could call it ‘Home’ and point the blog page to the page ‘Blog’

    I have Thrive Themes plugin installed as well.

    I added a page called ‘blog’.
    When I access your_website_url.com it displays an empty page called ‘blog’.
    What I am looking for when the user access your_website_url.com/blog
    it should display the blog contents.

    How do I move my current blog contents to your_website_url.com/blog?

    Thanks in advance!

    what do you want displayed if someone just types ‘your_website_url.com’?

    I would want to display my “home page” when someone types ‘your_website_url.com’

    1) go to dashboard->settings->reading->Front Page Displays
    – press the ‘A static page’ radio button
    – set FrontPage:’ to “Home” (or what ever you have called your home page)
    – set ‘Posts page:’ to your page called ‘Blog”
    2) go to dashboard->settings->permalink and change from the default to ‘Post name’
    3) go test it
