Trying to mark the post as resolved.

I think I figured out something. A couple of variables added to the wp-config.php file establishing the URL and absolute path. Seems to be working, tho I know it is overriding what is still hardcoded in the site itself. I will let the owner sort that out….

Hello…t hank you for the reply. I did a grep through all the file systems looking to see if anything was added to the WP files.

fgrep -R -i “theculprit.net” *

theculprit.net is a made up domain. Nothing showed up.

I did go into phymyadmin and did a rudimentary search for theculprit.net string and it did show up many times. I think I may just search and replace all of them and see what happens. I have backed up the file system and .sql several times. I don’t know what else to do.

There is no question the domain is hard coded but I just do not have enough knowledge on how to alter it. I would especially want to be able to have all links work as relative links and not absolute links. That is the real problem. Ugh….

ANy further ideas would be most helpful. I do feel the menu links are hard coded in the data base tables. I just do not have the skills or knowledge to see exactly what and where, to be able to make correct changes.

I can’t believe someone would hard code them in anyway but the original installer is long gone. So it is a forensics journey at this point, sigh. From someone who doesn’t quite know the wordpress forensics…

Help??

I’ll ask this a different way and hope someone can respond.

If I were to use Google’s search function, how would I store PDF and other files under WordPress? The only file manager I have found for WordPress appears to be for admin only.

How would I store PDF files, index them, and allow Google to find them, in WordPress?

Thank you for your response. How would one set up a document that is searchable by Google and place it into a file manager that runs under workdpress? So a user could search, be notified of a match, and then go download the result?
