 * Hi all
 * I’ve built my site up for testing now, just wondered if moving site from [http://localhost/wordpress/](http://localhost/wordpress/)
   to domain directory, do I edit the SQL field wp_options ? so it can load in the
   right directory.
 * hope that makes sence

 * Reopening this thread… I did this, but now I’m afraid that people that have linked
   to threads (such as google) will now get the 404 error page. I’m AWFUL at writing.
   htaccess redirects.. how can I get it so that threads that were once at site.
   com/wordpress/2006/06/name-of-post will get redirected to site.com/2006/06/name-
   of-post ? Any regex wizards that can help me out? 🙂
