    Hi Everyone, I really hope someone can help me. I’ve spent the best part of a week making my site, getting it exactly right and I seem to have broken it when trying to transfer to the new root directory via FTP. I’ve been up all night trying various fixes, none of which seem to work. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing I guess.

    I built the site under https://www.wsbf.co.uk/Test and it worked perfectly. I followed a youtube tutorial to move the site to https://www.wsbf.co.uk and thats where it went wrong.

    I’ve gone into PHPmyadmin and changed the url back to https://www.wsbf.co.uk/Test but I still can’t even get into wp-admin. If I go to the site address is just displays a white page.

    I wasn’t 100% using FTP and tried moving the files from public_html/Test to /public html. When this broke things I tried remembering what file I moved and tried moving them back into /Test but still it doesn’t work.

    In PHPmyadmin I have the website table on the left as well as the new table for the root directory installation. Should I have made this or should I just delete it?

    Can someone help me get some sleep, because I really don’t want to have to start this from scratch again.

    Before anyone feels the need to comment on how naive I have been, don’t worry I know. But we all make mistakes right? Otherwise we’d never learn…..
