Hi, thanks for your attention.

I had already moved index.php to the root folder and changed
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); to
require(‘./blog/wp-blog-header.php’);

As you said, since stuff in ‘blog .htaccess’ should be copied to ‘root .htaccess’, I did so. Now root .htaccess includes rules as below,

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

But still the problem remains………

Is there anything else I can do?

I should have found this at the very first begining,
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

It was in Options Tab.

I got it done. Sorry for the misunderstanding I was in. I copied the index.php in my “theme” to the root directory. That caused the error.

Instead I copied the index.php in “blog” directory and made the appropriate change. Thanks for Kafkaesqui and all of you.

As for duplicate content issue, if I put
User-agent: *
Disallow: /blog/

Then whole my blog won’t be indexed. So I am going to
forget it for the time being. If you have any suggestion
on this, please list them.

Thank you.

My theme’s index.php contains only the code I mentioned in my post. Noting else like
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
That’s the problem I faced.
