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

    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
