Partially Restored Wordpress Site but on Admin Login I see the "White Screen of Death"
Dear Experts,
I have partially restored a Wordpress site at this URL:
www.FilipinoFutures.com
I can see some of my old content however when I try to go to the Wordpress Admin login page I see the White screen of death.
Can Anyone tell me the steps I should take to diagnose this problem?
Best Wishes,
Phil

Dear Hielo,
Given that other things might be broken if I keep my restored site in a sub-directory perhaps it is safer to move it back to my root directory?

Dear Hielo,
I tried searching for the two defines:
WP_SITE_URL
and
DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE
Neither of these appear in my wp-config.php file. I assume this is because I am using an older version of WordPress.
There is an ABSPATH variable at the bottom of the config file.

If I look in the version.php file in the includes directory it tells me that I'm running Worpress 3.0.

I'm running Worpress 3.0.Wordpress is current at 4.2.2. You might start by bringing your code base up-to-date then installing your required plug-ins.

When I go to where I'd expect the WP Admin area to be:
http://filipinofutures.com/wordpress/wp-admin
I get redirected to a localhost url:
http://localhost/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Ffilipinofutures.com%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
It looks like somewhere you've configured an address for the site as localhost. Maybe in wp-config.php? Maybe in one of the db tables? I'd start by trying to resolve that.
Here are some different steps for fixing the site url:
