    Hi:

    I originally installed my blog in a folder within the root directory. Now I would like to move it out of that folder into the root directory. How do I do that? Do I just move the content to the root directory? Do I have to do anything to the database?

    Your help is much appreciated.

  • Hey David,

    Yes there are a few fields in your database that will need to be modified when you move. The easiest way would be to do the following just before the move:

    dashboard -> Settings

    Modify the WordPress Address (URL) and the Blog Addres (URL) fields to the new location.

    Once’ you’ve done this, the blog will probably become unusable until you’ve moved the site.

    The other way is to do the move then, modify the database directly from your cpanel. Those two fields are in the wp-options table and are called: “siteurl” and “home”.

    Good luck,

    Dave
