    Last night I moved my WordPress installation from donwatford.com/narrowdoor to thenarrowdoor.net ; I copied the files over, edited the config file, and moved the database. Now the new site shows up, but all the links send you back to the old site. When I try to login to the new dashboard, i get a 404 file not found error. Any ideas where the reference to my old site could be?

  • You need to get into phpMyAdmin and change the siteurl options in the options table:

    Plus are you sure you moved the wp-admin folder too?

    How do I love you, let me count the ways.

    1. You responded to my cry for help.
    2. You replied to my post in like 10 minutes.
    3. You knew just what to do.
    4. You sent me simple instructions with PICTURES!
    5. You saved me a few minutes from launch.
    6. You reduced my stress and blood pressure.
    7. I have access to my site.
    8. I won’t have explain to the site owner.

    I’ll stop here…its working now! Those two alterations to the database fixed my problem. I am a happy man.

    Thanks. Don in Savannah, GA

    Wow! Well, I’m glad to have helped you!
