    Hi All,

    I need to move my wordpress files to a new sub-directory which the files that was installed to the public_html root directory. Can it be done and how? Will the move will result in all the post and configuration and data lost?

    The reason for the move is i want to install the oscommerce estore to the domain. It seems that the wp rewrite scrpit is conflicting to that. In order to solve that, i need to installed or move the whole wordpress files to the sub-dirct as advice by my hosting company.

    Want worry me is that the lost of data!!

    Do we need to modify the wp-config.php file and which line of coding to modify.

    Can all the wordpress gurus help me.

    Thanks in advance.

    cheers,
    flwong

    Moving WordPress is there for you.

    Should NOT need to change wp-config.php for that.
