Problems displaying site after moving to new url

  • I’ve been building a wordpress-based site, with a mix of wp and static pages (which have an include for wp-config in the header), and moved it to a new location (hosted on https://dreamhost.com instead of https://netrillium.com). Now it only displays parts of the header (not even the whole thing) and nothing of the content, whether on the wp or static pages.
    What I did is that I uploaded wordpress 1.2.1 (on the old site I’d been using 1.2) to the new location and then used a sql dumb to import the categories in phpAdmin. They seem to have been created just fine, as far as I can tell.
    You can see my new site on https://fanfiction.pen-and-paper.net – and you can see what it’s supposed to look like on https://fanfiction.thebookshelf.org.
    Another (related?) problem is that I can’t access the new wp-admin – it always redirects me to the old url for some reason. If anyone of you can tell me where I went wrong, I’d really appreciate it – I really have no idea what could have caused this strange behavior.

  • Do you have phpmyadmin ?
    If so, browse the ‘wp_options’ table, and check that ‘site_url’ and ‘home’ values are set to what you need them to be.

    Okay. Now it’s working – I had to change site_url and could then log into the admin panel and activate the plug-ins I’m using. Thanks a lot for your help!
