    Thanks for responding so quickly!

    I did not want to hardcode route

    I went the functions.php route and now a blank page loads when I enter the url and the /wp-admin for https://terminusinvestment.com/terminusinvestment

    update_option(‘siteurl’,’https://terminusinvestment.com/terminusinvestment’);
    update_option(‘home’,’https://terminusinvestment.com/terminusinvestment’);

    any other ideas?

    So is that where the site files are (still)? You have not moved them or changed anything besides the URL settings?

    correct – i can see all the files

    I am more than willing to let you have a look – I am stumped

    Hmm, that makes two of us ?? . Double check that you put that in the beginning of the functions file, etc. You could try one of the other methods – but for sure, back up your files and database first, please :).

    Any way someone could take a peak for me – I could email my login info

    I have exhausted all avenues and really dread the thought of rebuilding the entire site from scratch. I am sure I have overlooked something.

    Is there a step by step guide to doing a fresh install and importing the XML file along with the WP files from the defunct site?

    Hey,

    I hope that my question is relevant to your problem so we could dig it out.

    What redirection technique do you use for your main page?

    I messed around with the site url and the WP url under General Settings.

    Called my host but the backup they had was way too old. I looked to see what was happening in the DB and saw that the terminusinvestment.com/terminusinvestment was now pointing to just terminusinvestment.com

    I went in and copied the setting from the correct DB and did a clean install but it is all still messed up.

    After spending a whole day trying, I am at a loss and thinking I may just have to start all over.

    I do have the exported XML file and all the files from the correct site, but not sure how to use those to get back up.

    Well,

    I am trying to figure out why after putting https://terminusinvestment.com/

    a browser reads https://terminusinvestment.com/HOME.html (pretty nice page for a future project)

    but any bot, wget, and curl read only
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= HOME.html" /></head><body></body></html>

    Can we see at least your .htaccess file?

    M.

    I made sure to take all the WP files off as a backup. The .htaccess is in there, yes

    Technically, nobody sees .htaccess in a browser, that’s why I am asking you to copy and paste its code here.
    Please make sure to get the current .htaccess file, not from your backup, the current file could be corrupted after you played with settings.

    It is not the .htaccess file from the old site. I cannot find that at all

    I would say that your FTP client doesn’t read hidden files (dot htaccess) by default.

    You need to change its setting to show hidden files as well.
