    Did you follow the directions in Moving_WordPress?

    I would say yes. I have successfully move my WordPress before and I think I know how to do it.
    What I did this time was dragging the folder to another directory. Then updated the directory at the wp-config.php. Then go to the phpmyadmin and in my database I ran the SQL query to change the url like the following:

    UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace( option_value, 'https://www.dongphotography.ca', 'https://www.dongyuesu.com/photography' ) WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';

UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'https://www.dongphotography.ca','https://www.dongyuesu.com/photography');

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'www.dongphotography.ca','https://www.dongyuesu.com/photography');

    I have solved the problem by creating a new directory and uploading my backup from my hard drive onto the directory in the server. I think the problem was somehow related to the dragging between directories in the server.
