    I’m trying to install WP onto an html site.

    I imported the site via iTheme’s BackupBuddy to it’s own wordpress directory in the root of the site (http://toddbaxterdawson.com), and want the WP site to show up instead of the html site.

    I went to http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Pointing_your_home_site.27s_URL_to_a_subdirectory and followed the directions, but it’s not working and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

    My .htaccess (both root level and /wordpress/ level) reads:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /wordpress/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    
    # END WordPress

    ~~~
    My index.php (root) reads:

    <?php
    /**
    * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
    * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
    *
    * @package WordPress
    */
    
    /**
    * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
    *
    * @var bool
    */
    define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
    
    /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php' );

    ~~~

    My index.php (/wordpress/) reads:

    <?php
    /**
    * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
    * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
    *
    * @package WordPress
    */
    
    /**
    * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
    *
    * @var bool
    */
    define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
    
    /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

    ~~~

    Can anyone see what I’m doing wrong here?

    Hi dosuntai,

    As I understand you should find the

    index.html

    file and rename it as

    index2.html

    or anything of your choice. Hope this works for you.
