Folder keeps on getting created on its own... weird!

IM Headlines · 10-08-2009, 12:09 AM

Recently I moved my blog from domain.com/blog to
the top level domain.

Everything is fine except for that stupid wp-content folder.

Let me explain the situation.

I have the 3 folders:

Wp-admin
Wp-content
wp-includes

And all the necessery php files.

But there's another folder called "blog". Which contains
another wp-content folder in it. Whenever I delete it,
another one gets created automatically...

Can anyone tell me how to solve this?

I'm assuming that this is happening because in the past,
my blog used to be in the "blog" directory...

Thanks in advance

I'm guessing when you moved your blog, there's still a setting lurking in the wp-config.php file, or your Wordpress settings MySQL table that's pointing to domain.com/blog/wp-content

Because this folder doesn't exist, it'll try to create it again (and again, and again...)

Best bet is check the above two areas to see if there's a document root or path to domain.com/blog, and change that to domain.com.

Problem solved!

It was not coming from the SQL database, neither the
wp-config.

I went to settings, miscellaneous, and I set it up from there.

Cheers and thanks for the help anyway.

Glad you got it fixed.
