Using a domain name with WordPress

change the name of the folder that has wordpress installed in it to ur domain name.

This might work….

Thanks! I am a bit of a novice–what’s the folder that has wordpress installed?

just change the name of the folder to ur domain name…the current name must be wordpress…so change that name only….i hope u got it

Sorry, I just don’t know what folder you are referring to. Where do I find it? I didn’t think wordpress was installed anywhere, isn’t it just on a server?

r u self hosting or wordpress hosted?

if u r self-hosting then just check ur root and find a folder named worpress…..then copy all files from that folder to ur root…

it works for me
example:
https://trainee5.afixiindia.com/

rfrances, is this a blog at wordpress.com?

If not, just follow this guide:

wordpress is hosting. So this is a blog at wordpress.com. How can I change the domain name in this case?

You need to contact wordpress.com so that they can map your domain name. This is selfhosted support forum for wordpres.org

Thanks to everyone! I managed to map my domain name to wordpress–yay!
