Moved WP to root directory but it still needs old folder to run

  • I’ve moved WP to the root directory using the following steps:

    -Updated the URL in WP settings from /temp to root
    -Copied all files from /temp to the root
    -Updated all content hard URLs to remove /temp

    The site runs fine with WP existing in both places (root and /temp). However, when I remove /temp, it breaks and gives me a 500 Internal Server Error.

    I’ve moved sites from folder to folder before but I haven’t had this problem before. Am I brainfarting and missing an obvious step? Or is this server being a little more problematic?

    Update – I looked at the page source code and found some code that still called out the /temp. I corrected that and now this is the situation:

    -Home page looks/runs fine
    -All menu items give me this error despite the fact that they all point to the right folder (root, not /temp):

    Not Found
    The requested URL /temp/index.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.
