Based on what you’re saying (about wordpress being installed in a folder called wordpress) you may need to change your index.php in the main root ([http://poweroverwireless.com/index.php](http://poweroverwireless.com/index.php)) to this: * ``` ``` * Did you change the index.php file in the wordpress folder as well? If so, you should undo that. * Thread Starter [garethp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/garethp/) * (@garethp) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comwordpress-only-on-installation/#post-893162) * * This is my index file, but I’ve moved the index file from the wordpress folder to main folder.

Not a move but a copy. * [http://poweroverwireless.com/index.php](http://poweroverwireless.com/index.php) and [http://poweroverwireless.com/wordpress/index.php](http://poweroverwireless.com/wordpress/index.php) both have to exist for your site to work 🙂 * Thread Starter [garethp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/garethp/) * (@garethp) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comwordpress-only-on-installation/#post-893320) * Many thanks, but Ive tried that. On a help sheet it sais I had to change the php file under the root domain name. I did that and the root domain worked but whenever I clicked on the header it took me back to .com/wordpress * But now I have another problem, I changed the blog address to .com instead of. com/wordpress * Why is this part so difficult???? Can anyone help me, is there anything I can do? * I’m a whits end. * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comwordpress-only-on-installation/#post-893323) * stop screwing around and read the documentation.
