Moving WordPress within site problem

    I have moved WordPress from one sub folder to another on my site using the following method:

    http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Moving_WordPress#On_Your_Existing_Server

    I have done it many times in the past without a problem but this time as soon as I changed the WordPress address (URI) and the Site address (URL) and click save I get the following error:

    Warning: require_once(/home3/c558851/public_html/wp/wp-includes/pomo/entry.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home3/c558851/public_html/wp/wp-includes/pomo/translations.php on line 10

    Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home3/c558851/public_html/wp/wp-includes/pomo/entry.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home3/c558851/public_html/wp/wp-includes/pomo/translations.php on line 10

    I proceeded with the rest of the tutorial but it just brings up the same problems.

    If anyone has any ideas what is wrong that would be fantastic.

    Thanks

    According to the error WordPress should be in a folder named ‘wp’. Is that correct?

    You could temporarily add this to wp-config.php to resolve the issue if ‘wp’ is not the correct folder:

    define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

    Hi,

    It was in a folder called /wp/ but I added a new directory called /blog/ and followed the instructions to move it over to the /blog/ folder.

    I have added the

    ‘define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’);’

    And it now works, so thanks for pointing this out!

    Thanks very much for your quick response

    Hello,

    I have moved my site from a sub-directory to the root folder. I have updated the links in the database too. I have tried above solutions also but still I am getting these errors.

    Warning: require_once(/home/awesome_215/public/churrascoshop.com/public/backup-churrasco/wp-includes/pomo/entry.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/awesome_215/public/churrascoshop.com/public/backup-churrasco/wp-includes/pomo/translations.php on line 10 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/awesome_215/public/churrascoshop.com/public/backup-churrasco/wp-includes/pomo/entry.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /home/awesome_215/public/churrascoshop.com/public/backup-churrasco/wp-includes/pomo/translations.php on line 10

    My site is down and its a great loss for my business. I will be really thankful if anyone can please help me out to resolve this issue ASAP.

    Thank you

    Hi @techno23 As per forum rules please create your own topic as it is the only way that support volunteers can keep track of issues.

    Moving WordPress from one location to another even if it is just from a subfolder to the root is considered a ‘move’ so I would suggest using this plugin https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/duplicator/. IMO, it is an amazing utility that even the developer suggests requires some good knowledge of WordPress so I would also recommend reading http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Moving_WordPress to understand what’s involved with moving WordPress.

    Hope that helps 🙂
