Site URL ?

Michael,

If I am understanding correctly, you want to re-direct the xxxx.com domain to xxxx.com/DAsite/ so that when a visitor types in xxxx.com it goes to xxxx.com/DAsite/? Yes, that will technically work, however once you get the new site up and ready you may want to consider moving the WordPress site from the DAsite folder to the root directory. Moving a site from one folder to another is pretty simple and is described in detail here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL

No. Sorry.

ce_kevinw, are your sure that will work? Everything I can find says it won’t.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I understand it is quite easy to move everything to the “root” directory but I just don’t want to mess around with his “old” site and move it somewhere else just in case he wants to switch back to the “old” site.

I was just worried all the links to my pics etc. wouldn’t work anymore by pointing the domain to the subfolder.

Is the /DAsite on a different server? Yes, that would be a totally different story and would be much harder to configure if possible at all. But if the DAsite folder is within the root directory then an .htaccess redirect could be done with the correct coding. However I agree that the information in esmi’s link is a better method.

/DAsite is on the same server. just a different directory.

Maybe the best is as mentioned to use esmi’s suggestion.
Are there going to be issues with the SQL database who might have stored directories?
