 * ok when I installed WP it defaulted to the /wordpress directory, so I just duplicated
   it for root. Wasn’t a problem aside from a few small fixes. The biggest hangup
   has been the admin bar doesn’t show up in the root site, but does in the /WP 
   site.
 * The second problem, just happened recently with our theme. For some reason, the
   landing page on /wordpress is busted….but every subpage and the root page work
   fine.
 * checked for the footer fix, it was kosher on all the theme pages I checked. Any
   ideas, tips, tricks, or fixes would be greatly appreciated.
 * P.S. It is an adult blog, so if you are sensitive to that type of material, you
   may not want to check the links. No nudity, but some discussions of explicit 
   topics.

 * It would have been easier to uninstall the wordpress blog at /wordpress and then
   make a new installation at root level.
 * Try this out:-
 * 1. Go to control panel of the /wordpress blog, and set site URL and WordPress
   Address URL to [http://theswankyblog.com](http://theswankyblog.com) and save 
   it so your existing database points to the new site. When you do this the /wordpress
   blog will stop working properly so don’t panic.
 * 2. Install WordPress at root level but tell it to use existing database.
 * 3. Uninstall WordPress from /wordpress directory.
 * Let me how that goes. You may want to back up your database and files before 
   trying it out.

 * I did step 1…and it fixed the rest of the issues. Thanks for that, knew one of
   you smart people would fix this in an instant.
