• I can never find my posts a few hours after I have posted.. these forums are in BAD need of “watch this thread” feature.. (I think there’s a url somewhere that lists yr posts, but I don’t know what it is..)

    I need to know how to move my blog from mydomain.com/php/to mydomain.com/blog.. what I wrote yesterday:

    I need to know how to put blog on a diff location from where WP is installed.. my WP files are in mysite.com/php/, but I want my blog to be at mysite.com/blog/…

    it says in instructions (http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory):

    Copy the index.php and .htaccess files from the WordPress directory into the root directory of your site (Blog address).

    but can’t find any file or dir called .htaccess among WP files..

    response: I got:

    That’s NOT for your situation – read it more carefully if you need!

    If you WP is already installed in a subfolder but you want that subfolder to be named differently, that’s easy.
    The real question is: do you want that /php/ subfolder renamed or you want to create a new folde called /blog/ and move it there?

    my response:

    I don’t care if I rename the /php/ folder or move WP to mydomain.com/blog/.. as long as address is mydomain.com/blog/… I suppose if I can rename dir ‘php’ to ‘blog’ that would be the simplest.. thank you very much..

    thank you… (if I don’t get response w/in an hour or so won’t be able to find this thread anymore…..;)

    meaning: is it ok for me to just go in there (ftp) and change dir ‘php’ name to ‘blog’?? that would be awesome..

    I have another question, also related to this..
    I have now registered a new domain, <myname>blog.com/ I just installed WP in <myname>blog.com/wordpress, but, if I put blog here instead of at other domain mentioned above, I would want address of blog to be just <myname>blog.com/ that’s it.. (i.e., not as simple as just renaming directory..) how do I do THAT???? I tried installed WP at the root but it wouldn’t let me…

    thank you very much….

    ok, sorry sorry.. disregard.. SOLVED…

    in new domain installed WP in dir ‘home’, and will simply put a redirect from domain.com/index.htm to domain.com/home/..

    thank you very much and sorry…

    As for your second question:

    I’d suggest to

    1. go to your Options > General tab and change the specified location of your blog

    2. via ftp change the name of your php folder to whatever you specified in step one

    (as explained in the Codex)

    Just bookmark that thread, dude, is it so hard to do ?

    And NO, I can’t help you here 😀
