    I was going to move my blog from wordpress/ to the root /

    I followed the instructions and changed the WordPress address (URI) and the Blog address (URI) to the root address.

    I copied all the files and folders under wordpress to the root and then nothing it didn`t work, nor the index.php or the wp-admin/index.php.

    1) Now I am moving back the blog to the original location but how can I change above setting back as they were?

    2) Why didn`t it work? I did have my old homepage index.html n the root as well but I guess that could not have caused wordpresses index.php no not function, could it?

  • Actually, you can leave wordpress in the folder called wordpress, change your Blog address URL to NOT have the /wordpress at the end, then put this index.php file in your root folder.

    <?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

    Even though the actual WordPress files reside in a sub-directory, the index.php file in your webroot, and the change to Options->General admin page Blog address (URL) allows WordPress to act as your main page. This particular setup is described at: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

    but how can I change above setting back as they were?

    you can use phpmyadmin to access your database, and change the values inside there, or you can use my script ??

    Just please be sure to watch the tutorial, and keep in mind what Michael just said above.

    Thanks for great help. Case is solved and closed. I just loved your script whooami, it worked perfectly.

    I never got Michaels instructions to work though. Perhaps it has to do with .htaccess. I never understood that part, guess I need to study. At least there are none such files in any catalogue.

    Once again, thanks.

    Awesome, I’m glad it helped! ??

    If wordpress is in a subdirectory will and you change the index.php file as instructed will your url still be

    mysite.com/wordpress/posts, etc. when you are navigating through…
