WP Gurus >> A Question If You please
 

Calling Fris :) or any other wordpress gurus

I have a blog which I have been playing with and installed it into a sub folder but want to move it into the main public_html folder and use it as the main site. Is this an easy thing to do or would it be easier to just re-install the blog into the main folder before I do any more work on it

Cheers

You can find pluginthatwill "search and reaplace" in your database, so you will:

search for: yourdomain.com/subfolder/

and replace with: yourdomain.com/

and just move files to domain root.

P.S. never try that but I guess it will work

copy index.php into your main folder
edit index.php to point to your wordpress folder
under Settings: General, change Blog URL to your main url.

done

example:
wordpress is installed in public_html/wordpress/
copy public_html/wordpress/index.php into public_html/index.php
edit public_html/index.php and you'll find this line
change that to

Thanks guys for your help and have a very Happy New Year
