andypeat Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have searched this but can't find specific instructions that work. I have wordpress in its own folder www.subdomain.domain/blog I also have a redirect from the main domain to subdomain here so if you go to www.domain it will go to www.subdomain.domain/blog (complicated) But the address shown on the site is always www.subdomain.domain. How can I move the files so it is www.domain ? or is there another way to do this? thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Just move all the files and folders to the public_html folder but you will have to go into the Administration panel of your WordPress installation and change the settings to reflect the change. You will also have to manually edit the database with the new location. Sorry, I can't remember which value it stored in. And you might want to read this Moving WordPress information.

idallen Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I have wordpress in its own folder www.subdomain.domain/blog I also have a redirect from the main domain to subdomain here so if you go to www.domain it will go to www.subdomain.domain/blog (complicated) But the address shown on the site is always www.subdomain.domain. How can I move the files so it is www.domain ? I had a site at sub.domain/wordpress and (without moving any files) got it to appear as sub.domain (without the /wordpress in any of the URLs) by following the instructions here: http://codex.wordpre...s_Own_Directory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
