Since the two URIs are stored in the database and called to put together various internal links… it’s a possible cause for many problems. * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/options-not-saving/#post-319263) * Consider using [phpMyAdmin](http://codex.wordpress.org/phpMyAdmin) to make sure your `wp_options` table has the correct values in `siteurl` and `home`. * `siteurl` is your WordPress address (URI) and `home` is your Blog Address (URI). * You might want to logout and delete your `wp-content/cache` folder also. * See also: [Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory) [Moving_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress) * Thread Starter [rdonalds](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdonalds/) * (@rdonalds) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/options-not-saving/#post-319386) * phpMyAdmin worked i got in and manualy edited the tables thanks MichaelH. * [jasongetsdown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasongetsdown/) * (@jasongetsdown) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/options-not-saving/#post-319531) * I’m having a similar problem but this solution didn’t work for me. I’ve got a fresh install at shekky.org/jason/wordpress which I’ve got set up as a subdomain called jason.shekky.org. when I try to save my options I get a 404 for wp-admin/ options.php. I can see options.php in Transmit. Its there. In the database I’ve had both ‘siteurl’ and ‘home’ set to ‘[http://jason.shekky.org’](http://jason.shekky.org’);. Changing siteurl to ‘[http://shekky.org/jason/wordpress/’](http://shekky.org/jason/wordpress/’); does nothing. Incidentally, this is my second install. I cleared out the old one (which worked flawlessly from the get-go when I first installed it) and installed this one. I activated the back-up plug-in, installed K2 and dropped in my scheme and some images, but otherwise its clean. * [jasongetsdown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasongetsdown/) * (@jasongetsdown) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/options-not-saving/#post-319532) * This seems to be getting progressively worse, and it doesn’t seem to have to do with wordpress, unless there’s something I don’t know. * I decided to start from scratch again. I deleted the database and deleted all the files. then I uploaded fresh files and pointed my browser at the install script. It barfed. It said that wp-includes/wp-db.php didn’t exist. So I check to make sure its there, it is, so I try it again, and I get a 404 on the install script. Now I can’t even ftp to any of the folders in my wordpress directory; I get “550 permission denied.” * Why is it that the more I do the less files I seem to have permission to?
