I installed wp in a subdirectory, http://mysite.com/wp, but would like to use my root directory as my home URL http://mysite.com.
I found this advice from a year ago:
Open your header.php file in the theme and change the link there to your root directory.
I'm assuming "the link" means my URL, but I couldn't find any reference to it or the root directory.
I also trying changing it in the admin panel, which really messed things up.
Suggestions?

Thanks Samuel B
I had read through both those, however I don't need to move into a new directory, it's already there in its own directory, and I can't see how those instructions relate to my question.
I'm beginning to think that if wp is in a subdirectory, I can't have my URL show up as the domain name unless I move it into the root directory. Is that the case? I understood that somehow you could do that.
the 1st link I thought is what you wanted
maybe re-phrase your needs better

I'll try this again.
I have wp in a subdirectory which means my URL is http://mysite.com/wp. I would like to KEEP WP in a subdirectory, but have my URL expressed AS IF IT WERE IN the root directory http://mysite.com. I read somewhere that you can do this by masking the actual URL.

Thanks for your persistence. I can't resolve this right now. This last link took me down another complicated rabbit hole. I thought it was a simple setting. I'll have to come back to it another time.
Do I have to move WP into the root directory in order to have my URL expressed as mysite.com rather than mysite.com/wp?
Thanks
