   Hi

   I've already got http://www.findaporsche.com on GoDaddy and it's working fine.

   I now want to set up http://www.porsche964.com but am unable to get WordPress to point towards that URL. It was defaulting to http://www.porsche964.com/wordpress but when I tried to lose the /wordpress off the end (using settings and also fiddling with the code after getting hints from this forum), I've lost that as well.

   Any gentle guidance would be much appreciated!

   Thanks

   Phil

   fix the url's to be correct - where it's actually installed
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

   move it properly
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site
   or
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

   Hi

   Thanks for the reply.

   I've already found those links and attempted to follow the advice, but it's not clear and it didn't work. To be honest, I'm new to WordPress and struggle with it.

   Cheers

   Phil

   OK, I've spent most of the day on this and got nowhere.
   The WordPress document says this:

   Change the following and save the file. Change the line that says:
   require('./wp-blog-header.php');
   to the following, using your directory name for the WordPress core files:
   require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');

   What are the WordPress core files?

   Thanks

   Phil

   Finally resolved this after much trial and error. I copied the index.php file from another blog into the root folder.

   I really think WordPress could makes its documentation more user-friendly! :)
