    Hi all

    Well I’ve started creating the site for my very first blog here: http://acaiberrydirectuk.co.uk/dev my question is this:

    As I’ve setup a folder on my server called ‘dev’ and installed wordpress there how would I move the site to the root folder without having problems with all the links, articles, images, pages etc?

    I’m hoping there is a way to do this as I dont really want to be working on the site with it being accessable on the main domain name till its ready to go live so to speak.

    Many thanks in advance

    Neil

    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 dev folder)

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

    Then update your permalinks in Settings->Permalinks.

    Oh, and when you get a chance can you tell them to stop sending me all that spam about ac**berry*. Thanks. 😉
