 * I am going to move my WP from one host to another but on the new host want to
   put ALL of WP in a folder under the root such that once moved, to access the 
   blog visitors will need to type [http://www.somedomain.com/folder](http://www.somedomain.com/folder)
   rather than what they type now which is [http://www.somedoamin.com](http://www.somedoamin.com).
 * I have read thru this page
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory)
 * my question is about the section called:
 * “**Moving a Root install to its own directory**“
 * Once I have done all the steps will the visitor enter [http://www.somedomain.com](http://www.somedomain.com)
   OR [http://www.somedoamin.com/folder](http://www.somedoamin.com/folder) to access
   the blog? I want to ensure they have to enter [http://www.somedomain.com/folder](http://www.somedomain.com/folder)
   but the instructions are unclear as we leave the Site Address (URL) as [http://www.somedomain.com](http://www.somedomain.com)??
 * Thanks Doug

 * Doug, if you want to keep them in the /folder/ directory, you don’t need to worry
   about migrating them to the root folder.
 * On the other hand, if you want it to be in the root folder I would suggest running
   a plugin called 404 Redirected that will help search engines and users by automatically
   moving sending them to the new pages in the root directory.
