WordPress problem when moving folders

February 26, 2012   /   by Marco  / Categories :  Technology

 

I tried moving my WordPress folder to the root of my hosting account and things went pear shaped. After some debugging, I noticed that in the database stored the URL of the website. This meant I had to change most of the data entries in the database. I knew nothing about SQL queries but after some research I managed to find some code that was able to change my domain URL and here it is:

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://olddomain.com', 'http://newdomain.com') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';

UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://olddomain.com','http://newdomain.com');

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://olddomain.com', 'http://newdomain.com');

UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value, 'http://olddomain.com', 'http://newdomain.com');
