I moved my website to a new URL - from http://www.fluentinfood.co.nz to and am having problems getting it to work.
I changed the URL at my ISP and updated the nameserver info for the new domain. I then was able to see a version of my website at the new URL, but without styling, so added the following lines to the bottom of the wp-config.php file based on info I got from the forums:
define("WP_SITEURL","www.fluentinfood.com");
define("WP_HOME","www.fluentinfood.com");?>
I also changed the siteurl and home fields in the wp_options folder of the database to http://www.fluentinfood.com using phpMyAdmin. (The path for phpMyAdmin still shows http://www.fluentinfood.co.nz/.../phpMyAdmin/index.php/... - not sure how to fix this either).
This restored the styling so the front page looks OK (when I can access it - see below), but when I click on the links on the menubar I get a 500 Internal Server Error. When I hover over the menu bar links I can see that the path for the Home link is still http://www.fluentinfood.co.nz and the paths for the other pages have a duplicated URL e.g. http://www.fluentinfood.com/www.fluentinfood.com/about.
I am also having trouble logging in to the Wordpress dashboard - sometimes it works using either wp-admin or wp-login.php but I can never go further than the front page before getting an internal server error. I have renamed the .htaccess file to .htaccess.bak as suggested in the forums and that helps temporarily until it seems to reload another .htaccess file and I get the server error again when trying to access the website or wp-admin.
The contents of the .htaccess file are:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase http://www.fluentinfood.com/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . http://www.fluentinfood.com/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Any advice gratefully received - I have run out of ideas!
