Change directory name?

  • Hi, dear wordpress advanced users! I’m a blog beginner, and have 3 questions :
    1. I (stupidly) installed my wordpress files in one directory:
    http : // mysite.com/dir1/
    and I’d like to change the name of this main directory to
    http : // mysite.com/dir2/
    I did it, the index.php is ok, but (of course, nothing is magic…) the links are not working anymore.
    is there an easy way to solve this “directory renaming” problem ?
    2. My main “user” is admin, with level 10. I’d prefer to have a login with another name than “admin”, so i created new users but they are only on level 9. How can I put another login as admin ?
    3. I entered several links categories. How can I change their ID numbers (in order to make them appear in a different order on my site) ?
    Thanks veeery much if (after laughing about my stupid questions) if you can help me…

  • 2 – Profile page. Change your name there.
    3 – Use spaces. Put a space before one of the category names, and it will look the same, but will be displayed first. Put 2 spaces before another, and again, it will look the same but then that will be displayed first. Mores paces = higher up the list. Ugly but it works.

    1. Under Options > General, change the URI to reflect the changes in directories that you’ve made.
    2. Login as admin, go to Profile, enter first and last name and nickname. Click update. It will use the nickname to show on your blog page, or select any other from the dropdown list shown.
    3. Edit your link categories. So the first category is “Links” with ID=1, then edit that link to whatever you want as the first one, then edit the other ones accordingly. Then use the order key for get_links_list:

    Thanks for the answer (1)!
    For the (2), I understand about the nickname appearing on the blog. What i’d like is to log in on the wp-login.php page with another login than “admin” but still level 10.
    For the (3) well… my brain is melting! I guess that I should reenter the links in the right order… *feeling lazy* Thanks for the link nevertheless!
    I hate this kind of ugly business, but i think I’ll use the spaces…
    Thanks both of you ??

    2. You could use
    https://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/
    Browse table wp_users, edit the first user:
    ID=1 / user_login=admin / blah blah
    Change the user_login key to whatever you want the login to be.
