 * Please can you help?
 * I set up a domain, harrisocialmediatest.com and installed wordpress in the root
   directory. Everything was working fine.
 * I then pointed the DNS server from Dreamhost to MediaTemple servers, and the 
   DNS is correctly resolving to the MT server.
 * An important point is that I changed the root folder name from harrissocialmediatest
   to harrissocialmedia
 * The site does not read wordpress because several files, css & javascript files
   are now linking to an incorrect path, so I want to set up things in the control
   panel.
 * However, when I try to login at [http://harrissocialmedia.com/wp-login.php](http://harrissocialmedia.com/wp-login.php)
 * the login page redirects to [http://harrissocialmediatest.com/wp-login.php](http://harrissocialmediatest.com/wp-login.php)
 * and I get an error: Forbidden You don’t have permission to access /wp-login.php
   on this server.
 * So for some reason WordPress is redirecting to harrissocialmediatest.com
 * I need all the relevant files to become harrissocialmedia.com
 * I am happy to use phpMyAdmin or direct FTP to update the files.
 * Please can you help.
 * Thank you.
