NinjaFirewall setup confusion

    Hi,
    I want to try out NinjaFirewall on one of my sites… But part of your set up is confusingly worded… to me anyway.

    Firstly… My site has “WordPress in a folder”. So there’s site root and WP is installed in the folder “wpfolder”.

    NinjaFirewall correctly recognizes that I have WordPress installed in a folder.

    There’s a step where you say “Because it is possible to install WordPress into a subdirectory, but have the blog exist in the site root, NinjaFirewall needs to know its exact location.”…

    Does that mean NinjaFirewall needs to know the site root location or the WordPress location? Or does NinjaFirewall need to know where NinjaFirewall is located? It seems ambiguously worded.

    It then says that…
    “Path to WordPress root directory: [ /home/my/path/wpfolder/]”
    which is the correct path to my WordPress files.

    However… The line previous to the above says…
    “Please edit the path below only if you have manually modified your WordPress root directory as described in the Giving WordPress Its Own Directory article.”

    That would indicate to me that the “Path to WordPress root directory…” DOES need to modified, as I DID follow the directions in the article.

    But if I modify it, it will no longer point to the WordPress location, which, I’m sure, is where it’s supposed to point.

    It just seems that it all could be worded more clearly.

    Hi,

    If you followed this article, your WordPress index.php must be located inside the “/home/my/path” folder and all other files inside the “/home/my/path/wpfolder/” subfolder.
    Therefore, the root is “/home/my/path” (where you moved your index.php) and that is the value NinjaFirewall needs to know.
