BINGO!!!!!!
There were 2 spaces at the end of config file.
I have disabled plugins and now can log in!!!!!

Found 2 guilty plugins that I don’t use anyway.

Thanks so much for you help and patience, I can start clearing the office for our Christmas holiday now!

Thanks Esmi,

I have tried this but I get the following when deactivating plugins on the login page;

And then this after trying to log in

I tried this first with plugins disabled. And then again with all themes except twenty eleven moved out of themes folder aswell.

I worked through the “find and replace” process, creating a new database.

Exactly same result. Blank screen.

I have added the WP_DEBUG and get the following;

Notice: wp_deregister_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or init hooks. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.3.) in /home/mattr752/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3578

I am still running the new database, (with the corrected absolute paths).

Ok I found a video tutorial to dump the database

opening the .sql file in text edit, and doing a “find” for the old root path does bring up a lot of results.

Could this be the fix? If so how do I run a “find & replace” in the database?

Would you be able to give a step by step on that database dump?

I did run a debug earlier but this is beyond my realms.

This is the log it reported.

I’ve subsequently moved other sites (add-on domains) without a problem so I doubt that it is the server causing this?

Thanks but I was following that post’s instruction.

The URLS remain the same so should of just been a simple change of the config. file.

Thanks, for your help Amitash, unfortunately I tried including the backslash but now have a blank screen (as opposed to the live’s site links) when navigating to https://www.nameofsite.com/wptest/

I agree with you about the .htaccess file, which is why I have included it in the original post. The code (above) is what is existing in the current .htaccess file, located in the root of the content managed site.

Interestly by adding the backslash, a .htaccess file is now in the wptest folder.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\--]+)/$ index.php?p=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\--]+)$ index.php?p=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ index.php?id=$1&page=$2&p=news [L]
RewriteRule ^news-([0-9]+).html$ index.php?page=$1&p=news [L]

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
Options -Indexes
# 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

By editing this .htaccess file, The live site no longer worked there I have had to restore the original .htaccess file. Potentially I need an alternative workaround?
