Moving index.php to web root in 1.5

  • Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldnt find exact specifics either here or in the codex. I have a normal installation of WP which I have just successfully upgraded to 1.5 and am using a modified version of the default Kubrick theme.
    I have now decided that I would like my blog to form the home page of my site instead of the current index.html.
    My blog is installed into mysite.com/news. The codex gives instructions for doing this in 1.2, but surely they will be different in 1.5 due to themes?
    I have just spent the last week or so customising the blog, so am reluctant to dive in and break it before getting instructions.
    thanks for any help on this.

  • I think you need to copy the index.php to your public_html directory and change the line

    require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

    to
    require(‘./news/wp-blog-header.php’);

    That is, you should copy the index.php file with that’s in the root of your WordPress directory, not the one from your theme directory. And then you should make the changes as pathfinder indicates.
