    I have a blog on myDomain.com on a WP GoDaddy (Ultimate) package. I’ll be pointing another domain to the same server and thought I could set up the site in advance in myDomain.com/subFolder to make a seamless switch. However, a clean install of WP went fine but all buttons navigate to the parent blog, with ‘Page not found’ nested in the home frame.

    Where can I reset the root for the sub domain, or will this be automatically resolved when I update the DNS for the second domain to point to the myDomain.com/subfolder?
    Or how does that work? Thanks in advance! new territory for me, .. I’m a sound engineer ??

    which buttons? are navigating to the blog. do you have a link to the site in question.

    if im understanding your problem correctly; heres two ways you could do it.

    1. create the new blog by making it a sub-domain like this: subfolder.yourdomain.com do this in hostgators add-on domain option,then load wordpress on it using fantastico.

    or

    2. create folder as you mentioned. you can do it hostgator but i usually just create a folder using my ftp client under the domain name you want to use.ie.. mydomain.com/blog then load wordpress in /blog folder.

    once the new blog folder is setup you can use duplicator plugin to easily transfer/clone/copy everything to it.

    Thanks for the quick answer. The domain is https://lcrecordings.com/ (3.3.2) and I’ve installed another WP instance (3.4) in https://lcrecordings.com/enoch/

    Click on any button and it will open the page up in the parent frame. I’ve got a similar local set up using MAMP on Mac, and this works fine so was hopeful it would be the same ??

    hostgator sounds very useful will give that a try, but would first like to make sure root is correctly defined. Wondering if I need to define the Path somewhere in wp-config.php or is there a string in the DB I need to tweak?

    many thanks,
    peter
