Changing URL from subdirectory to main directory (6 posts)

    Right, forgive me if I don't give the right terms. I'm a noob at this and will try to explain my problem as clearly as possible:

    I run my WordPress blog on http://jc-martin.com/fighterwriter/

    What I would like to do now is to run WordPress on my parent URL: http://www.jc-martin.com

    My WordPress is run through a hosting server, so I have access to phpMyAdmin. I tried changing my URL name on there but it didn't work and my old site kept appearing.

    Please explain what I need to do very simply...:) thanks!

    I tried method 4 on here already (changing directly from database) via phpMyAdmin but I still see my old parent site and it completely messed up my blog too! :(

    Not sure how to do methods 1-3? Where are these .php codes?

    My idea is to change your domain root. My domain adminpanel offers me this function.

    So if your website is on http://jc-martin.com/fighterwriter/
    it should be possible to set your domain root to /fighterwriter/

    but if you have folder in / , you must move them to /fighterwriter/
