…because I don’t want a fresh install, I want the new installation to reference my original MySQL database

OK… I changed the $table_prefix value for one of my sites’ wp-config file. this allowed me to do the install and gain access….

But, how do I make WordPress latch onto my original database and resume, with all the posts in that database?

ahh cool thanks alchymyth. renaming the parent theme directory worked. cheers!

well, i deleted the child theme folder altogether, but unfortunately no default theme coming up.

I got it working!

stupid mistake…when i changed my permalink structure my pages were setup like https://www.example.com/music, but i already had a directory on my site that was Music. So when i’d try going to that page it would take me to the directory music, which had no index page.

That’s why it was so confusing!!

also, i know that i could just create a new page and paste my code from my “music” page into this new page, but i’d still like it to be called music and WordPress doesn’t seem to let me do that. I’d have to call it “www.example.com/mymusic” or something…

why is this particular url being lost by either my browser, my hosts server or wordpress???

The .htaccess file i had already was exactly the same except for not haveing the part about the 404 Error stuff.

I’ve still got this one pesky page that cannot be linked to using a static example.com/test type of URL

the weird thing is that its almost like the actual content of that page is missing. However, it is listed under my pages and i can see the code, but if i go to click “view page” or “preview page” i get a “no index page setup” error. I even tried renaming the page https://www.example.com/musik (it was music before) and it still can’t find the page when i go to “view page”.

Try header.php. It should have something like this:

<!-- Begin Navigation -->
	<div id="navcontainer">
		<ul id="navlist">

<li><a>/" title="test">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="https://example.com/video" title="test">Video</a></li>
<li><a href="https://example.com/music" title="test">Music</a></li>
<li><a href="https://example.com/photo" title="test">Photo</a></li>
<li><a href="https://example.com/about" title="test">About</a></li>

just make sure it’s linking to the right pages…

@batsmeow

try manually changing the link code within the php template

“Music”
