Moving wordpress from subdomain to root directory
-
I originally installed wordpress just to use the blog feature so installed it in the subdomain of /Blog. I’ve now decided to build the whole website with it so want to move the files to the root directory. I changed the urls and moved the files to the root directory but it all went horribly wrong and my website was lost for about 9 hours and I couldn’t access the wordpress admin until I deleted then reinstalled all the files back in to the /Blog folder. I’m hoping that someone can help and talk me through it really slowly as I can’t work out where I went wrong.
Also my website is now automatically directing to https://www.drawnbyrhiannon.co.uk/Blog which is handy in a way as people are being directed when they type in https://www.drawnbyrhiannon.co.uk but I just don’t want the /Blog in every address of the website!
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can take a minute and be patient with me to explain this.

After the site transfer in the root enter this code in wp-config.php
define('WP_HOME','https://www.drawnbyrhiannon.co.uk'); define('WP_SITEURL','https://www.drawnbyrhiannon.co.uk');Also backup the database and use this plugin to replace https://www.drawnbyrhiannon.co.uk/Blog with https://www.drawnbyrhiannon.co.uk
