Wordpress install under subdomain not working

0
  • I created a subdomain dev.mydomain.com.
  • I then created an application... wordpress
  • I linked up the application to my subdomain and mapped it to /wp.

However, when I visit the dev.mydomain.com/wp, all the CSS and images don't seem to load correctly. There's no styling or images on the page.

Have you tried setting the Site URL manually? The process is outlined here,

What worked for me was to edit the functions.php file of the active theme. Follow the instructions on the page...here's just a summary:

Put this right after the opening <?php tag.

update_option('siteurl','http://example.com/blog');
update_option('home','http://example.com/blog');

Refresh the page and login as admin. Check settings and make sure that the paths are correct. Then remove those lines from functions.php
