I’d suggest to try using this: http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ As @s_ha_dum has said, it looks like you’ve missed something. The above script automates the process of updating all URL references within the database when changing folder/URL and is much quicker and easier. You’ve probably missed some entries as some references to the URL are stored as serialized … Read more
That is Core code trying to use a Core function. You have almost certainly had a problem with the transfer. Very carefully, re-upload all of the files. I expect some file is missing or corrupt.

In a nutshell there is no generic reliable way to load WordPress core from arbitrary file. Since core and extensions directories are independent from each other (they are co-located by default, not by necessity) only core configuration “knows” where extensions are, but not other way around. In private code things like this just get hardcoded. … Read more
