Can't replace new WordPress site for old website

    Hi,

    I have a previous website http://www.kangtai.cl (not wordpress) that I’m intending to change for a new website created in WordPress.

    I proceeded like it was suggested in several support threads in the forum:

    1) I created a subdirectory in the root directory which I called “temp”
    2) I installed WordPress at an temporary address http://www.kangtai.cl/temp
    3) I built the new website using wordpress in the http://www.kangtai.cl/temp
    4) I moved all the files that were in the root directory to a folder I created named “old_site” using FTP (filezilla)
    5) I changed the site in the box for WordPress address (URI) and the Site address (URL) from http://kangtai.cl/temp to http://kangtai.cl
    6) I moved all the wordpress files and directories from the subdirectory temp to the root folder public_html, using FTP
    7) I deleted the “temp” folder

    And when I finally thought I was all set, it came the problems. Now, when I use the URL http://kangtai.cl it sends me to the same old address http://www.kangtai.cl/Welcome.html that it used to upload before ( I have no clue where it gets the /Welcome.html), with the difference that instead of loading the old page it throws an error. However, what I expect to see when I use http://kangtai.cl/ is the website that I created in WordPress!!!

    Pleeeease I ask for your help, cause I’m a newbie here and I invested a lot of time creating my new website with wordpress, and now I’m clueless.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    You are clearly talking about the wordpress.ORG version of the software, and need to be over there for help with that. We can’t help you here.
