Phew! Shopping cart is working smoothly now.
Thanks again for all your help!

Got it. I guess I was making my install more complex than I needed to. I guess for a new install that has always been in the subfolder you just copy the .htaccess and the index.php . . . have I got it now?

OK. Moved wp-config back into subfolder and all is well. Now I’m confused by the directions I’ve used before. ?? What am I missing?

I thought I was following the directions for a subfolder build, the same process/steps I’ve read/used previously (then again with your link: Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory). I haven’t had trouble before, but this is the first time I’ve child-themed this specific theme which includes a shopping cart function.

Am I reading the directions incorrectly at Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory?

Maybe I just do the install in the subdirectory and point the index.php to the subdirectory leaving the wp-config.php file in the subdirectory?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help esmi. I’ve read your posts before and learned a lot from you already.

Yes, I moved the site correctly. Did it again this morning as a complete new install/then import just in case. This time I first moved the wp.config.php on a clean WP install (checked that all was working in base themes), then imported child theme/content/xml files just in case that was the issue. Same result when I tried shopping cart. Everything else is a go and moved perfectly, but the shopping cart has conflict with the wp-config.php location in root. The php code in the file (cart_handler.php) codes path for wp-config.php to the wp install folder (line 7–see error message). I need to let the file know to go to the root folder to find wp-config.php. So, can I alter the .htaccess file in the wp subfolder to let the template files that need direct access to the wp-config.php to go to root?

What do you think? Seems to me I just need to find a way to let the template files know where to go . . .

Best, Shannon
