    Hello all, I’ve a problem accessing my WordPress Admin Area on a site that used to have WordPress installed in the root, then replaced with a standard HTML site.

    I’ve now reinstalled wordpress in a /wp directory: http://XXXXXX.com/wp/

    but when I try to access my Admin area: http://XXXXXX.com/wp/wp-admin

    It repoints me to the location of the original WordPress site:
    http://XXXXXX.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp%2Fwp-admin%2F

    And I get the following error:

    HTTP Error 404.0 – Not Found
    The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

    Canyone help me sort this so the Admin Area is pointing towards the new site in the /wp directory?

    Thanks all.

    Did you change the urls when you moved wordpress from root to wp folder if you did then did you reset your permalinks

    No I didn’t change URLs – I simply had the original site in the wwwroot, then deleted it. Now I’ve reinstalled it in the folder wwwroot/wp

    Does this help?

    you will need to change the urls as they are still pointing to root

    Hi,

    Sorry to jump in, but I am currently having the same problem, and I know that I have to do what you have linked, but the problem is, I can’t seem to find my subfolder.

    Someone else was updating our company website for a while and he put a password protection on the “www.mysite.com/wp” I was wondering if the password has anything to do with me not being able to find all my files on the ftp?

    If this is unrelated to post, I’d be more than willing to post a new thread.

    EDIT: nevermind!
