   Hi there,

   I am about to install a WordPress multisite at the root folder of my hosting account server.

   At the moment I have a flash site installed there (at the root folder) and would like to delete it and install wordpress in its place.

   Is there a way I can make my flash site work as it was, from within a folder placed at the root (where wordpress is installed)?

   Is that the way to go or there is a simpler better way - if so how would I make it work?

   Thanks

   Yes, you can move your flash site to a subfolder and WordPress will leave it alone. A folder will always trump WordPress posts.

   Thanks Ipstenu - that's great news.

   Once I have my flash site inside that folder - how can I make it work if the index.html is inside it?

   Lets say my flash site is http://www.hello.com - normally the domain would grab the index.html from my hosting root folder, but if wordpress is installed there and index.html is inside a folder (with all the flash files) - how will it find it there? How do I reconnect it?

   Cheers

   You move the flash site, AND it's index, to hello.com/flash

   Then you link to it. That's called 'moving the flash site to a subfolder.'

   All right, I'll do so then.

   Thanks a lot Ipstenu
