I have a localhost running on localhost/~frederoover/, everything works perfect, but when I install a WordPress website, I'm getting the following issue's.
localhost/~frederoover/agri-travel.be loads just fine, but the internal files all give a 'Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)' and they are pointing to localhost/wp-content/plugins/*. So WordPress doesn't see my /~username/.
Any thoughts on how to solve this?
Your site URL is incorrect. The easiest way to fix this to add this to your wp-config.php and load the home page:
define('RELOCATE', true);
Make sure to remove it after you are finished.
Step 1: Export your database as .sql open the file using text editor. find the http://localhost and replace with http://localhost/~frederoover/sgri-travel.be and again import it. This will work.!
Step 2: Update siteurl and home
Next you need to change the location of your site in the database.
In wp_options, locate siteurl and home. Usually these records are at the top of the table on line 1 and 2.
For siteurl, click the field under option_value and replace the old domain with your new domain name ( http://localhost/~frederoover/sgri-travel.be in your case ).
Press enter to save.
Do the same for home.
Step 3: Fix permalinks (Optional)
If you experience that you get a 404 error when you try to open links on your site, the Permalinks are broken. Luckily it is very easy to fix this.
Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
Click Settings and then Permalinks
Scroll down and click Save Changes.

I am trying to get a client's WordPress site copied over to my company's server to use as a development site. I've ran into an issue when trying to log into the site's administrator panel; it redirects us to the existing site's URL instead (ending up as [OLD SITE]/[NEW URL]/wp-admin). Additionally, trying to go to any page other than the homepage gets a 404.
I've tried editing the wp-config and defining the WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL there, with no success. In a previous attempt we used a backup tool that was meant to replace references to the old URL with the new URL, and on another we ran queries and checked through wp-options in the database to be sure that we caught all of the old references. Still redirects to the old site.
We've tried restoring from two backups, Akeeba and BackUpWordPress. Our current attempt is a copy we've downloaded directly and then uploaded (with an imported SQL backup).
Another odd thing I've noted is that changing one of the URLs in the database causes more issues. Mainly, if I update the URL of 'wordpress-https_ssl_host' in the wp-options table, the theme breaks. Not sure where to go with this from here.
I'm always succesfully using the following script : search & replace:
https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
in order to update a wordpress site url.
Just copy the provided code in a directory under your site, then launch the provided index.php in a browser: the database infos should be automatically determined. Then specify the old and new urls and click on "Run" !
Don't forget to remove the created directory afterwards.
For solving this issue you have to change siteurl in database wp_options table
option_name = siteurl where
option_value = YOUR OLD SITE URL
change your old site url and update it with your local developement site URL
Hope this will help you..
We found the problem; as it turns out it was nothing to do with anything from the default WordPress files. The client was using an extension called WordPress HTTPS, and apparently that was causing a conflict somewhere. We renamed the extension's folder to disable it and everything ran fine. I imagine it was overriding what we were setting in wp-config.
I have site hosted in http://blog.example.com now i have moved it to location http://blog.example.com/myblog folder. Have changed site location from wp-options table and it works fine in new locaiton. but my problem is that when i update any page or post from admin panel, page redirects to http://blog.example.com url. I am not able to update that page.
Note: I have used visual composer for page editor.
Pls suggest me setting that i need to change.
I would make an export of your database and find and replace http://blog.example.com with http://blog.example.com/myblog in your favorite text editor to make sure that all mentions of the old URL have been removed.
Afterwards you can also find and replace http://blog.example.com/myblog/myblog with http://blog.example.com/myblog to change URL's that were already changed back.
I am moving a brand new Wordpress site from root "/" directory to a subdirectory "/wordpress/" using the following guide:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
Sadly, there are problems with these steps.
Step (4) indicates we need to update "Site address (URL)" which updates wp_option "siteurl" to "http://localhost/" but will leave "home" in tact (http://localhost/wordpress).
This is causing issues as I can no longer login to wp-admin. By setting both "siteurl" back to "http://localhost/wordpress" I am finally able to access wp-admin, but now the pages are throwing 404's and cannot be found. Not only that, but all URL's have /wordpress/ in the path now which isn't a slug I want in my pages. In other words, I am fine with having wp-admin accessible via http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/ but public pages should be accessible using this format: http://localhost/page-1/
Is there a way to move WP to a subdirectory without all these consequences?
Step 1: Export your database as .sql open the file using text editor. find the http://localhost and replace with http://localhost/wordpress and again import it. This will work.!
Step 2: Update siteurl and home
Next you need to change the location of your site in the database.
In wp_options, locate siteurl and home. Usually these records are at the top of the table on line 1 and 2.

I was in the middle of migrating a local WP site to a live server and came across a problem.
I edited my WP config file and uploaded it along with the rest of the WP files. I also uploaded the mysql database through phpMyAdmin.
Once i tried to test the site i got an error message "The page isn't redirecting properly". I then, mistakenly, logged in to the admin area and in the Settings > General tab I deleted the localhost part of the URL. Now I'm unable to log back in to the WP admin area.
EDIT
To clarify, my major problem is that i can no longer log in to the wp admin area because of something I've done. The steps i took to get to this point were:
Backed up WP using the BackUpWordpress plugin
Edited back up wp-config file with define('WP_HOME','http://example.com'); define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
Created mySQL database through DreamHost
Changed database info in wp-config file
Uploaded wp files (not including mySQL backup) to my url using Filezilla
Imported mySQL database backup to DreamHost
I then checked the site from my browser, an error message said too many redirects occurred
From the wp admin area i went to Settings > General and deleted the localhost part of the url that was displayed.
I believe it's due to the previous step I'm now unable to access the wp admin area at all.
I need a way of getting back into the admin area
You can also edit those options within phpMyAdmin. Go to wp_options and locate siteurl and home. Make sure the URL matches your site URL.
You can also edit the site URL in your wp-config.php.
Add these lines somewhere above the /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ line.
define('WP_HOME','http://my-site.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://my-site.com');
This should overwrite your database settings.
I believe the problem is that studiomed.co.uk is permanently redirected (301) to www.studiomed.co.uk and www.studiomed.co.uk is permanently redirected (301) to studiomed.co.uk
Login to your Dreamhost account go to Domains->Manage Domains and choose one of the three options there are in "Do you want the www in your URL?".
After that use an ftp program to download the .htaccess file that exists in your root installation of wordpress and open it with your favorite editor. Check if you have any kind of redirection in the .htaccess file.
Which version of WordPress do you use?
Can you list the plugins you are using?
Have you gone through the basic WordPress troubleshooting steps?
flush any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server
and/or browser caches.
deactivate all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this
works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the
problematic plugin(s). Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can
still cause problems.
If you can't get into your admin dashboard,
try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin (read
http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F
if you need help).
switch to the Twenty Eleven theme (depends on your WordPress version) to rule out any theme-specific problems.
If you can't log in to change themes, you can remove the theme folders via FTP so the only one is twentyeleven. That will force your site to use it.
manual upgrade. When all else fails, download a fresh copy of the latest.zip file to your computer, and use that to copy up. You may need to delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folders on your server. Read the Manual Update directions first: http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update
check the Master List to see if you're experiencing a known issue
Login to your wordpress dashboard (wp-admin) and go to Settings->Permalinks, select Default and save changes.
Update all urls(path) using this querys then check:--
Use this querys for change all urls(path) for db then check
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://live_ste_path.com', 'http://localhost/local_site_path') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://live_ste_path.com', 'http://localhost/local_site_path');
UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value,'http://live_ste_path.com','http://localhost/local_site_path')`
[WSOD RESOLVED]
Since I could not find any solution to my problem by googling around, a crucial tracking info I finally found in WP error logs. So I would recommend to inspect logs before spending to much time looking for a proper answer by google.
After migration from an old web host to a new one, in my multisite environment all sites were working. Also, I was able to administer all subsites - but one! Trying wp-admin login to that site led me to fatal white screen. Without any message or any indication about the reason. And the culprit was corrupted file /public_html/subsite-x/wp-admin/admin.php. I really could not understand how that happened, just might suppose it appeared somehow while transferring files (FTP) from old host to a new one.
I am developing a wordpress site. I uploaded the files(wordpress) to my live host. So my new live url site for my wordpress like this sample url http://mywordpress.com/, the display seems to be fine, but when I start browsing the menus page will be redirected to my local server, instead of http://mywordpress.com/about-us/ it went to my localhost like http://localhost/mywordpress/about-us
So when I checked the page source all the links including the stylesheet is link to my local. even though I use this code
<link href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
Its kinda weird... but anyone knows how to configure this?
It sounds to me like your database may be using old values for your url's.
For a quick solution that may or may not solve your issue, try http://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/wordpress-plugin-update-urls/ . It's a great plugin. If not... here are my bullet proof instructions for transferring from local to online.
I've migrated from local to online hundreds of times and I think most tutorials on wordpress migration are overly complex. Here's my method (assuming you already have a fresh wordpress installation and database)
Go to phpMyAdmin for your local server and export your database (but not as a file)... just get the straight SQL text and copy it.
Paste that code into dreamweaver, text editor, coda or any plaintext word processor that can do a search and replace. Then search for "http://MyOldWordpressUrl.com/wordpress" (make sure there is NO slash after the final directory) and replace with "http://MyNewWordpressUrl.com/wordpress". Obviously don't include the quotation marks. Make sure your old wordpress URL is correct. You can double check in admin -> general settings.
Get into your control panel for your online hosting and go to the database for your new wordpress install (this should be a brand new installation where you haven't yet created any posts or input any data-- just what wordpress gives you). Export the database and save it as a file (just in case). Now drop all the tables. Click YES when it asks you if you're sure. Then click on the SQL icon (should be in the upper left hand corner of the left sidebar). This should open a new window. Now paste in your code from step 2 and click GO.
Transfer your theme folder via FTP.
Right now you should go to the new wordpress install's wp-admin. Your same User Name and password will apply. Go to "add a post" and add any image from your computer... wait for it to upload, now delete it. This step is to have the server create the uploads folder to be 100% certain is registered by wordpress and set to the correct permissions. I've wasted hours before by transferring the uploads folder directly by FTP, so don't do it.
Step 5 created an uploads folder in FTP, now you can drag and drop the contents of your uploads folder (ie 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 + subfolders) into the uploads folder. There should be nothing in it except an empty folder (because you deleted that file in step 5), so it's fine to overwrite if it warns you.
The only remaining step is to transfer your plugins. You can do it via FTP, although it's probably faster to add them directly through the Wordpress admin via "add plugin" and search + install.
Oh yeah, now go to permalink settings and click "default", update, then choose whatever you want-- you need to refresh permalinks to.
That's foolproof... but you have to be somewhat familiar/confident using PHP myadmin. Although I've founds some widgets do not transfer via this method, so you may have to drag and drop some widgets again (appearance -> widgets) after the transfer.
For clarification on step 1 and step 3, see the diagrams here: http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/exporting-and-importing-wordpress ... but the rest of that WDW tutorial is guaranteed to give you problems at somepoint.
As mentioned in the comments, you will need to browse to the Settings->General page and update your site URL and wordpress URL.
If you can't get to the Settings page because you get redirected to your local site (this has happened to me before), you may have to edit the values in mysql directly, which isn't too bad, really.
The settings are located in the wp_options table under the option_name "siteurl" and "home". If you need more help with that, post a comment.
You may need to refresh your permalinks: see step 5 below. Official documentation on this subject may clear some things up as well.
Steps to move a local WordPress install to a live site
This is my method, and it has worked every time. Assume local WP install is at http://localhost/wordpress/ with WP database named wordpress and live WP install is at http://livesite.com/ with WP database named livesite:
Create a backup of local WP database -
navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin
select database wordpress from side menu
click EXPORT
check the box for Add DROP TABLE / VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION / EVENT statement
click GO - it should download a file called wordpress.sql
Download a database for the live site -
sign in + navigate to http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php
enter the live site values for WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL)
click SAVE CHANGES - this will break your local WP installation: that's why we made the backup
repeat step 1 [Create a backup of local WP database] - include all substeps
rename this newly downloaded file from wordpress.sql to livesite.sql
Prepare WP files for live site
upload WP file structure to http://livesite.com/
edit /wp-config.php to have live database name, username and password
Import live WP database - if you haven't created the livesite database yet, do so now
navigate to http://livesite.com/phpmyadmin or equivalent
select database livesite from side menu
click IMPORT
choose local file livesite.sql from step 2
click GO - it should successfully import the livesite database
Refresh live site permalinks - your permalinks are set correctly but not updated to reflect the new domain, so get WP to update them
navigate to http://livesite/wp-admin/options-permalink.php
click SAVE CHANGES
it should alert permalink structure updated. If not make a frivolous change to get it to do so, e.g. change permalink structure and then revert
Revert local installation - this can really be done at any point after step 2.
Follow step 4 from http://localhost/phpmyadmin using the backup created in step 1. This is the only way to fix the local install because we changed the domain in step 2 and we can't even get back to the settings page.
NOTES
using WP 3.3.1
using phpMyAdmin 3.4.8
The reason behind this, After you move wordpress site from local server to live you not changed the site url and home address.So, when ever you try to open your site in real server it will redirect back to your local server.You need to open PhpMyAdmin Tool in Cpanel or FTP and select your database then open wp_options table.
In wp_options table change the value of site url and home.
Now your problem will solved.
