Hi there.

I tried following the instructions on http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress and I messed it up somewhere during exporting/importing files.

Now I can’t access my wp admin. The site is all messed up – test.fremtidslinjen.dk

How do I get back?

I appreciate your help.

    Hi Amalie

    Sorry to hear about the hassle.

    Was this a move on the same server or did you change servers?

  2. Amalie 11 years, 1 month ago

    Nope. Same server. Using one.com. Tried to import backups to filemanager but came back as an error.

  3. Amalie 11 years, 1 month ago

    And I just checked the wp-config file. It’s empty…. even the backup. I think I really screwed up this time.
    Does this mean everything is lost?

  4. Amalie 11 years, 1 month ago

    Ok I checked the wp-config.php in notepad and it’s still there – so what am I missing?

    I’m gonna continue this monologue – sorry if I’m driving you nuts. :)
    I fixed it. Phew. Some of it that is. I can now access admin. My site seem ok. But now the logo links to the url I was supposed move my site to in the first place. And I can only access dashboard if I write test.fremtidslinjen.dk/wp-admin in the browser. If I click the dashboard link at the top of dashboard it says Not Found. Plus I can’t access the adjust widgets in header/footer part in appearance. (sorry my wordpress is in danish so I don’t know the name)

    Did I maybe move some of the site?

    Glad to hear there has been some progress here. It’s hard for me to say what’s going on without seeing the file structure. It’s important to check the urls at Settings > General, what is the WordPress url and what is the Site url. Does the WordPress url match the location of your WordPress installation. If needs be you can hard code these into wp-config.php

    define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

    This is so weird because I did that like two times – but now it works! THANK YOU.
