   Hi,

   I want to install WP in a subdirectory to build and test a site while the live static HTML works in the root directory.

   When the user is ready to go live I want to move the WordPress site over the static site in the root.

   What is the best way to do that?

   Thanks.

   Assumming you installed WordPress in a folder called blog--to make WordPress available at http://mydomain.com just change in Settings->General, the Blog address (URL) to http://mydomain.com and put this index.php file in your web-root folder (it is the same folder that contains the blog folder)

   <?php
   /* Short and sweet */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
   require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   Then update your permalinks in Settings->Permalinks.
