lost access to Wordpress after moving directory

Hi, hope I can get some help. Running Backlight under Ubuntu Apache2. Had Wordpress working fine in a blog directory under the root. Upgraded to the most recent Ubuntu and thought I would clean up the directory structure and so moved the entire website, including Wordpress. With some tweaking of the configs all Backlight/pages open fine. However, Wordpress refuses to open "This page isn't working" Unable to handle this request. I now see that you cannot just pick up Wordpress and move it to a different location. Well, I've done it. Any advice on configuration changes that might bring it back to life? I cannot log on to Wordpress any more so cannot change using this approach. Have use Google and looked at Wordpress help site and cannot get any of their suggestions to work. Any thoughts?

Re: lost access to Wordpress after moving directory

If you cannot log in to Wordpress, then you may need to edit the site address in the database directly. See this help documentation:

Re: lost access to Wordpress after moving directory

Thanks for the link. Have modified the WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL in the wp-config.php file as directed in the link but unfortunately this did not help. The other approaches mentioned require that I can login to my Wordpress account, but I cannot do that. Not sure what I can do perhaps have to recreate the wordpress site from scratch.
Thanks anyway.

Re: lost access to Wordpress after moving directory

Did something I should have done a while ago, turned on WP logging and it showed the problem to be a wp plugin that must have been incompatible with PHP 7.0. Deleted the plugin and back came Wordpress. Thanks

Re: lost access to Wordpress after moving directory

Glad to hear! I should have thought of that; disabling plugins and custom themes should be a first step in tracking down a Wordpress problem.
