   Site: http://swbcdc.org
   Theme: WooThemes-The Station

   All pages working properly from within the subfolder except for the home page. I can't seem to remove the subfolder name from the URL for the homepage, and so the message is Sorry, this page doesn't exist.

   I think I did everything right: WP files in subfolder;
   WP Address: swbcdc.org/newwebsite
   Site Address: swbcdc.org

   in root directory and in subfolder, have:
   .htaccess
   they are identical.
   They have rewrite base and rewrite rule the name of the subfolder.

   In root directory I have:
   index.php file that contains newwebsite in the blog-header.php line. The same file in the subfolder does not.

   In essence, I think I have the set up that was suggested in the WP Codex for this situation.

   What else is missing? Appreciate the help, thanks!

   Have you tried flushing your rewrite rules by visiting Settings > Permalinks in your Dashboard? Re-saving them can't hurt either.

   Dashboard settings: I use date/title format that is offered as a checkbox option. I toggled them a little, and set them back where I wanted. No help.

   Anyway, that can't be the problem, I don't think, because every other link updated correctly, except for home/index. There is something not right with index, I just don't know what.

   I was previously referring to your theme's index.php file. Why don't you try reverting to a bundled theme and see if you still have a problem. If it works, your theme is to blame.
