    i transitioned from https://www.robgoldman.com/wordpress/ subdirectory to the root directory. Now the new site is up and running (https://www.robgoldman.com) however none of the links on the site connect to the posts or pages. Instead I get an “Internal Server Error”.

    However none of the Permalinks (when I’m logged in) show that /wordpress/ is part of the page or post titles.

    FYI, when I login to the Admin Panel (wp-admin), on the General settings, the Wordpess address (URL) and the Blog address (URL) both have “https://robgoldman.com” in those fields. But the fields are greyed out and un-editable. meanwhile I’ve read some tutorials and I added the following to the wp-config file:`define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://robgoldman.com’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://robgoldman.com’);
    define(‘RELOCATE’,true);
    `

    please advise what I’m missing. thanks.

  • Did you change your .htaccess in the root directory to reflect the change?

    Use the below and see if it works.

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
