   Hello,

   I am new to wordpress but have years of experience with Linux, Servers, Joomla, etc.

   I have a site which is at http://domain.com/blog

   I want to move the entire site to http://domain.com

   In the WordPress >Admin the WordPress location is
   http://domain.com/blog

   and the Site URL is http://domain.com/blog

   The only thing on this domain is the wordpress site.

   My questions are:

   1.) Is moving the entire wordpress site to http://domain.com as simple as changing the Site URL address setting in the admin to http://domain.com , and I don't have to change any file locations?

   2.) Does a config_file.php have to be modified, also?

   3.) Is there a handy way to make an image backup of the entire wordpress site ( i.e. a module that does restorable backups that is recommended).

   I really appreciate your help for this - am helping a friend with her site.

   Thanks,

   Eddie

   You would either need to move all the files per:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

   Or an alternate is to leave most files, but run from root

   Don't just change the URL without understanding what's going on
