Changing the WP homepage

    Hi guys,

    I was hoping you could help me.

    I’ve installed wordpress in:
    wpblog.michaelhopcroft.com

    … and want to use wordpress functions in different domains such as:
    me.michaelhopcroft.com

    As you can see by following the links it’s working fine but the functions that wordpress provide seem to default the links to /(the directory where I installed it)/index.php…

    To give you an example, I can display all the posts on say me.michaelhopcroft.com/index.php, but if I click the title of a specific post it takes me to wpblog.michaelhopcroft.com/index.php… I’d rather it stayed at me.michaelhopcroft.com/index.php.

    Is there an easy way to get it to default to the page you’re calling the functions from instead of the root of the installation directory?

    Thanks for your time!

    There’s not an easy way that I know of.

    Why do you want to do this? Essentially, you’d be duplicating content across two URLs… i.e. each post would have a permalink on each subdomain. Why not just keep the blog in one place?

    I’m having the same problem EXCEPT that I don’t want to have content duplicated, I simply want to move the blog from one site to another.

    I’ve changed the home page info in the “options” but I don’t know how to convince WP that it should access the new site instead of the old one.

    There must be some place in the code that refers to the original site but I don’t know where it is.

    Thanks,
    Mary
