Hello friends,
Day before yesterday I was trying to upgrade to wordpress 2.8.2 I also decided to change my wordpress files to root directory instead of blog directory. Since then I am unbale to login into my account.
Luckily I have the back up of my wp-config file and wp-content folder.
It is not showing the dashboard at all. I guess i messed up with my blog.
Can you help me with this?
I guess it is needless to say that i am talking about wordpress self-hosted blog

Maybe this is the better forum? wordpress.org/support/

You blog is still the the directory one. Because you have not set it before changing it to root. It is there in the general setting. The fix is- you need to transfer all the wordpress files to your blog directory domain and than change the setting example
In your General setting change from
WordPress address (URL) www.blogcastor.com/blog to www.blogcastor.com/
Blog address (URL)www.blogcastor.com/blog to www.blogcastor.com/
Or you can do it through your Myphpadmin- means edit your database
Edited: This might not be the real issue but do check, try the below tips -
Wait Check your header.php file
change
< link rel="stylesheet" href=" techgenuine.com/blog/wp-content/themes/scarlett/style.css" type="text/css" media="all" / >
to
Change all the links to techgenuine.com/wp-content/themes/scarlett/style.css
Do it for all the links. it should now link to the root not the blog directory
