Website breaks when changing directory
-
I’ve recently started self-hosting a WordPress website.
After changing my web server’s directory (from a drive to another drive), I noticed that it breaks some of the key components. Take a look by yourself.^ This is in my C:/ directory. ^ This is in my D:/ directory that I use for backup. I’ve tried many, many different web servers and each of them had the WordPress interface broken after transitioning to another directory.
I tried to switch database, SQL, nothing changed. Which leads me to believe the issue comes from WordPress itself.
Any solutions?

WordPress is designed to have a single canonical site URL. If you want it to work simultaneously with two different URLs, you’ll need to use a plugin or some custom code.
There are some options given here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/177703/can-you-run-wordpress-with-multiple-domains-at-the-same-time-not-multisite
If you want to move it from one location to the other, but not work simultaneously on both, here is how: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/documentation/article/changing-the-site-url/
@tellyworth Thank you for the reply, but I don’t think the problem is about the site URL, as I used the same in both installations.
On my C: drive which is my original one, I have a portable web server setup that I launched with WordPress just fine. When moving it to my D: drive however, some of the content displays wrong as you can see.
UPDATE
I haven’t found any fix for this issue. I can confirm with certainty that it is in fact a WordPress issue. When changing the directory of the web server, the page layout gets totally messed up. I have tried to rollback versions, but the same issue remains.
I plan to work on my WordPress website when traveling which becomes a problem with an issue like this. I don’t think I can use this service anymore.
