Moving from hosted WordPress /blog to a full WP installation

You’re just moving it from example.com/blog to just example.com right? If so, just follow this guide: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress#Moving_Directories_On_Your_Existing_Server

Almost!

It appears that the /blog folder is not a full WordPress intall. I’m not sure what it is exactly though but you don’t have all the settings you would have on a full admin install

Thank you for the link though, I’ll take a look at it ??

Can you access the Users section of the Dashboard? If so, is your user role listed there as Administrator?

Hi James

Thank you again for your help ??

I’m getting the situation now. The user is indeed the admin, meaning your first answer totally applies to the situation: I need to move WP up, closer to the root! Except for a detail

As far as I understood the link you gave me, it applied when the two sides are on WP right? Here, the other side is on… something else.

From my understanding, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal though. Specially because it’s a tiny website not too use so it might be as good to just start from scratch while exporting previous pages/files I suppose!

I’ll keep the update before closing this topic, I’m not done yet haha!

Do you want to completely replace the other site with your WordPress installation? If so, then just follow this guide to moe your WordPress installation: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress#Moving_Directories_On_Your_Existing_Server

And also remove any files from the old site.

Yes indeed!

I’ll see how it goes then. I think I’ll all locally first and send live after; might be less dangerous!

Thank you James ??

You’re welcome!

Hum what do you mean?

I’m moving from a sub-sub-sub-folder to root or something I think ^^

Ah, perhaps I misunderstood “I think I’ll all locally first and send live after,” never mind. ??
