Pointing URL to a subdirectory

I want to point my site to a subdirectory, but I don’t want the URL to show what the subdirectory is. I followed steps below from http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
but when I put in http://www.attachedfamily.com it rewrites to http://www.attachedfamily.com/membersonly

See http://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-to-subdirectory?replies=7#post-3286775 for more background.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Pointing your home site’s URL to a subdirectory

In some cases, you may have a WordPress site that changes significantly every year, such as with a conference website. If you want to install each year’s version of the site in a subdirectory, such as /2010, /2011, and /2012, but have the root domain (yoursite.com) automatically redirect to a particular subdirectory (usually the latest), follow this technique:

Install WordPress in a subdirectory, such as /2012.
In your root folder (not the subdirectory folder), download and open your .htaccess file.
Add the following to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?YourDomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ blog [L]

In the above code, change the “YourDomain.com” value to your root domain.
In the above code, change the “blog” value to the subdirectory.
Save and upload the .htacess file back to your root directory.

Now when users to go your root domain (yoursite.com), it will automatically redirect to the subdirectory you specified. When you want to redirect to a new subdirectory, such as the conference site for next year, just update the .htaccess redirect code.
