is the wordpress install in a folder called ‘blog’?
The url points to a folder if you add a slash (‘/’) after it and some text, the system will look in the folder the url poits to – for a folder with the name following the slash – in your case it is looking for the wordpress install to be in a folder called ‘blog’
No. It’s installed in default directory.
How do I move the current blog I have to :
http://<URL>/blog?
This is what I would like. When users go to http://<URL>/blog, they should
see the blog contents
If you want to display your blog as the frontpage you can simply specify such settings within Settings-> Reading and set up the blog frontpage there. You may need to go to Pages-> and edit the blog page url to blog in order to load your blog posts under your_website_url.com/blog
Does the content of my current blog also move to your_website_url.com/blog?
Do I need to create a page called “blog” before
Front page displays Front page displays
Your latest posts
A static page (select below)
Front page: blog
Posts page: blog
Maybe you better explain your current setup a bit more. You said you installed WordPress in the folder pointed to with your_website_url.com.
Do you have something other than wordpress at that location too?
If this is all a wordpress site and you want the blog part of the site to be at your_website_url.com/blog, then you could create a static page as your front page, add a page called ‘Blog’ and then at dashboard->settings->reading, set Front page displays to the static page (you could call it ‘Home’ and point the blog page to the page ‘Blog’
I have Thrive Themes plugin installed as well.
I added a page called ‘blog’.
When I access your_website_url.com it displays an empty page called ‘blog’.
What I am looking for when the user access your_website_url.com/blog
it should display the blog contents.
How do I move my current blog contents to your_website_url.com/blog?
Thanks in advance!
what do you want displayed if someone just types ‘your_website_url.com’?
I would want to display my “home page” when someone types ‘your_website_url.com’
1) go to dashboard->settings->reading->Front Page Displays
– press the ‘A static page’ radio button
– set FrontPage:’ to “Home” (or what ever you have called your home page)
– set ‘Posts page:’ to your page called ‘Blog”
2) go to dashboard->settings->permalink and change from the default to ‘Post name’
3) go test it
Thanks a lot. It worked like magic!
