Very Important : PLEASE CREATE BACKUP YOU CAN USE TO RESTORE. Some elementor users have reported issues so check the comments. Thanks. Important Update 15 Apr 2021: No extra changes are required if you are using elementor. Text you need to replace in index.php file Change the line that says: require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' ); to the following, using your directory name for the WordPress core files: require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php' ); Replace wordpress with your directory name in above line.
Incredible video. You've saved me MASSES of work when redesigning my site. I didn't want to remove my current website until my new site was created. I was able to build my new site into a folder and simply load it instead when complete.
Hey man I want to do exactly this however .htaccess already exists in the root because the main site is also in a subfolder. I was wondering do I replace that htaccess with the one in the new site folder as well as the index file?
hey, I have a problem. All my pages shifted to the main domain, but the homepage is still redirecting to subdirectory in which the wordpress site was before. what should i need to change ?
HI, I had successfully updated my website by updating the index.php file in the public_html folder. The website was working. When I updated the url in Elementor to my website url, the site images went missing. What was the problem?
thank you so much for sharing this content. I did it and almost everything working well but some plugins dosnt work more. Do you have any idea what can happened ? Thanks
@@asp1re530 negative. if you look at devtools when trying to edit a page, there are a bunch of 403 codes that get triggered.. my guess is its something to do with that but haven't been able to resolve yet.
Hi! and thank you! all worked until I removed the /nameOfTheFOlder from the wp panel, after that, I receive a 404 error message. I think the issue is that I'm using elementor. Can you please share the link on how to update the links there? I don't see it in the description. thanks
Great video. But am lost, I have followed all step by step, but which file did you copy that line from, as I can't see it in my own end. That is the file where you copied the command you used to replace that line.
Hi, I followed the same steps. The website is working perfect on root directory, but my WP forms have stopped sending emails. Any idea why? It would be a great help. Thanks in advance.
In the video you make a point of saying that if using Elementor - you need to update the URL. You say you will post info on what is required, but looks like you forgot to do this. How do I update the URL in Elementor?? Please advise and thanks for a great video!
