Problem with duplicating paths in Dashboard.

  • I am currently undergoing a website implementation from WAMP to IIS 7, something I have never done before.

    After configuring the site and database I was able to get the site and most of the resources to load fine, however, my problem is that when I try to use the administrator dashboard the css and scripts do not load. The page comes up as a white page with all of the text and links, but no styling. I have figured out that this error is occurring because the page is looking for the css and scripts in a non existent directory.

    The directory seems to repeat itself confusing the path. For example, here is one of the paths I grabbed from the browser error console that is looking for load-scripts.php:

    https://intranet.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/intranet.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=1&load%5B%5D=jquery-core,…..

    As you can see it should just be looking for the file within intranet.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/ but instead it is duplicating that part of the path.

    I did already find some documentation saying that the permalinks my be the issue. However changing that did not seem to change anything. I also find it strange that the rest of the site works as the paths leading to resources and pages do not duplicate like in the Dashboard.

    Well I figured it out finally and since it seems nobody here was able to lend any assistance I will note how I did it.

    Turns out the problem was with IIS. In IIS you can set the bindings for the website. The binding for my site was set to the correct port AND included the domain name in the “Host Name” area. I removed the host name and left the binding pointing at port 80 and viola. My admin Dashboard was reachable again.

    If things still seem like they are missing from the Dashboard make sure that the Site Url and Home entries in the wp_options database are set to your site’s url. Including https://
