Hi
I want to change from Joomla to WP, but I dont want my site to be down while I make the new WP page since it can take weeks. Is it possible that I upload the WordPress folder/installation to domain.com/folder/, and then make it be available on the domain afterwards when I am done? If yes, how can I do this the most easy way?
Thank you.
Install in sub-directory - make work like you want - "move" to root - caution the "move" is only two files and a small change in the Dashboard - the instructions look worse than they actually are.
