the file name is 'family'.. it is in a wedding reception invite.. supposed to go to the /family page..
through my mistake the actual address is in this directory '/wordpress/family/' so when accessed the page not found message is all they get..
I tried to put a family.php file in the wordpress directory but that does not work..they still get the page not found error message; its too late to rescind the invite.. and they all need to RSVP...
OMG.. I need help! ( I am the mother of the groom so this looks really bad - LOL)
any suggestions would be welcome!
do you have another website runnign at domain.com which requires you to have wordpress running in the /wordpress directory?
or are you trying to move WP to run from root (domain.com), to get rid of the /wordpress directory?
If you are just trying to get rid of the /wordpress, follow either of these directions
http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
You can either leave WP mostly in /wordpress, and run it from domain.com, or move everything to domain.com (root)
Either way will get rid of /wordpress
thanks but the issue is I need the /wordpress to show up for only that one file.. '/family'
the wordpress runs in the /wordpress directory but the site is root..
when I added the link in the invite..I made an error.. and din;t see it.. all the invites are out there.. so I need the 'domain.com/wordpress/family'
to link to the 'domain.com/family' (actual file location)I don't know how to make the file show up as 'domain.com/wordpress/family'
can you suggest a workaround.. and thanks
all files are root.. the problem is the link in the invite only.. cannot resend invite.. so need to make it work somehow... is there a way to make a redirect?
when you say file.... I'm not sure what that means. Is family a page?
If so, could you make a new page called wordpress, and then make the family page a child of wordpress?
I believe that would make the url domain.com/wordpress/family
I actually tried that but it changed the page name.. 'wordpress' to a number..
first time I'd seen it change a page name and yes I meant a page.. sorry I am a designer from way back.. dreamweaver wordpress is so not the same..
it changes it to just a number, or to wordpress1?
If it's adding a number to the end of wordpress, do you have another page in your trash with the name wordpress?
If that won't work, maybe...
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/
or
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^wordpress/family$ /family? [R=301,NE,NC,L]
in your .htaccess before the wordpress stuff in there?

Problem with my URLs for links to portfolio categories.
Portfolio URL: http://platinumimageworks.com/portfolio-3/
then, click an image
After clicking an image -- error URL: http://platinumimageworks.com/wordpress1/portfolio-3/scenic/
I just launched the site on the root (with files in a folder named wordpress1).
All other files are working except this page where I supplied an absolute link from each image in the portfolio to a specific category. I cannot locate where the link is embedded.
it changes to a number only
OK, I have no idea what is going on there... maybe because of the wordpress folder thing.
Thos other 2 options I listed are all I can think of... trying some sort of redirect

What do you mean, it changes to a number only

The RewriteCond code above does not change a thing.
NOTE: my post is a slightly different issue than first posted by trool

The plugin Redirection does not work either. So will it work if I moved all the files into the root?
