   I originally installed WP in a directory:
   foo.com/bar
   All works fine.
   I configured a redirect from bar.com to foo.com/bar
   and changed the settings in WP for the blog address to be bar.com, but that doesn't work as it goes to bar.com/bar, which doesn't exist.

   The reason I'm trying for such a complex solution is I have no access to DNS setting on foo.com, and bar.com is parked - i.e. no hosting there. I see no point in buying more hosting - since I have some on foo.com

   Can I make that work somehow?

   1. A WP installed at example.com/wordpress can be displayed at example.com using this:
   Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

   2. I doubt you will ever make it work with a parked/redirected domain. WP hates any kind of redirect tricks.

   Thanks, I read that before and didn't think to apply that for my problem, I guess it's past midnight and that's why...

   However as you say in #2 it still won't help :(
