更改siteurl和home后，Wordpress网站将无法运行

Question

Noticed that by default wordpress keeps the site name www.mysite.com/wordpress but we wanted to change it to www.mysite.com/blog. Based on the documentation and other stackoverflow posts, it's as simple as making following changes.

1. override WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME in wp-config.php
2. Fix .htaccess entries to have correct rewrite rules
3. Update Permalinks settings

Or manually update wp_options table if you are unable to get into WP admin console.

Also followed all the steps mentioned here but still no luck, getting 404 errors when going to the new URL.

Answer 1

For some reason none of the approaches including what Hugo mentioned above didn't work for me. I then renamed the root WP installation directory from 'wordpress' to 'blog' to math the URL and everything is working now.

I am not sure why I had to do this but it seems to be working fine now.
