 * Hi,
 * I am moving trypanama.com to [http://optimizeddevelopment.net/trypanama/](http://optimizeddevelopment.net/trypanama/)
   to do some upgrades but I get
 * Warning: require(/home/newsites/public_html/trypanama/wp-includes/load.php): 
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/newsites/public_html/
   trypanama/wp-settings.php on line 21
 * Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/home/newsites/public_html/trypanama/
   wp-includes/load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /
   home/newsites/public_html/trypanama/wp-settings.php on line 21
 * I have copied WordPress websites many times before but never have I encountered
   this issue.
 * Regards,
 * Mike

 * Hi Esmi,
 * Yes I did. The URLs are changed in the database.
 * I then normally use better serach replace to changes the posts but I cant access
   wp/admin either – although the folder is present.
 * This is why I am confused.

 * That’s not the right way to do it as urls with serialized arrays will not be 
   changed. Use one of the scripts recommended in [Moving_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress).

 * Hi,
 * I used the Migrate DB plugin to change the url in the original site and performed
   the migration again but the problem persists.
