WP is pointing to old path after folder move

  • Hi,
    WP is installed in mysite.com/_v2/ an was wroking fine
    I dicided to move it to the root, when testing the site I have this error :
    Warning: require_once(/vhosts/mysite.com/htdocs/_v2/wp-includes/pomo/translations.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /vhosts/mysite.com/htdocs/_v2/wp-includes/pomo/mo.php on line 10

    Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/vhosts/mysite.com/htdocs/_v2/wp-includes/pomo/translations.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/srv/data/web/includes’) in /vhosts/mysite.com/htdocs/_v2/wp-includes/pomo/mo.php on line 10

    I’m hosting the site in gandi, I had the same problem with another site, and I had to add a space in eatch file and save it to make it works !! Is it a WP problem or a server problem ??
    Regards

    When you do that, and after changing what you see at Dashboard > Settings > General to update your database, you also have to re-point ‘mysite.com’ to where it should go (/htdocs/). But if you have done that, then the ‘/vhosts/mysite.com/htdocs/_v2/wp-includes/’ (actual server path) part of that message would indicate your database has yet to be updated to the new location.

    I can’t access to the dashbord, nothing works at all !!!
    Of course I update options table from phpmyadmin, but wordpress is still pointing to the original folder ! As I said I have to edit wp-includes/pomo/translations.php, modifiy something (a comment) and save the file.

    I think that is not enough, and no, you do not need to edit any destination file that cannot be found. Give me a few minutes here and I will post the wp-config code code I use when moving WordPress…

    In fact I have to update every .php file if I want to use it :
    wp-admin/index.php admin.php user.php upload.php …

    Do as you wish, and I do understand your logic. However, that is not going to fix your installation.

    Thank you very much leejosepho ??

    I had the same issue (also hosted on Gandi), running this command on the root of the wordpress folder did the trick for me:

    find . -exec touch {} \;

    It basically updates the modification date of all files.
