 * Not that I have upgraded and re-styled my install of WP, I would like to move
   it to the root directory… Is this feasible??

 * Sure, the whole site or just the index page? Make sure whichever way you choose,
   you set the home and site url’s correctly.

 * What I want to do is to move the installation out of the WP directory and into
   the root directory.
    Do I have to change anything?? Permalinks?? Change the index.
   php?? TIA EnVK

 * You would if you had permalinks on, but you don’t. You’ll just need to change
   the “pointers” in the admin section to where the files will be (it is in General
   Options):
    [http://envk.com/wp/](http://envk.com/wp/) to [http://envk.com/](http://envk.com/)
   for both WordPress and Blog address
