Change WP Installation location (2 posts)

    Hi,

    When I installed my wp one year ago, I put it in the directory, for example: http://www.mengyer.com/blog/

    and copied the index.php and the permanent link file to the root directory (So my website is just my blog)

    However, recently I registered an subdomain, ex. blog.mengyer.com (And use my root directory as an welcome page that integrates other pages)

    I changed the permanent link as directed by wordpress, but I found that I could not change my wordpress installation directory, which is /blog/. Is there any way that I can change it to my subdomain as well?

    I am asking this question primarily because I have a sidebar login in the index page, and since I activated the subdomain, it failed to log me into the Dashboard, and I have to double-login.

    Thanks in advance!

    Instead of moving just the index.php file, you should move the whole WordPress site into your main /root/ directory.

    Here's an article on the appropriate way to move WordPress into another directory: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
