    Hi all. I had my wordpress installed at / in a hosting but I’m trying to change blog to my own local hosting. The problem is that in my hosting I want install the blog at /blog but my images are linked to “/wp-content/uploads…”. The problem is that the link to the image in my hosting is /blog/wp-content/uploads…”. I think there are two posibilities:

    1. Change all images links to the correctly URL. The problem of make this is that if in the future I would change to / I had to change all links another more.
    2. Perhaps, apache server had an option to make at /blog be an independient host that interpret / like /blog. Someone know if it’s possible?
    3. I’ve try to change images links to src=”<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>/wp-content/uploads…” but it have’t work.

    Sorry for my bad english, I only speak a little english and thank you very much for helping.

    Howdy. You would have to first install your blog (and the database) the way it was on your original web hosting account — and then move WP.

    This is a general description of how to move WP to a subdirectory while leaving the home page in the root folder; however, I think you could probably stop at #6. But it’s absolutely vital to back up everything first.

    Hi DianeV. Thank you very much for your reply. The link have been very useful for me because it’s one of the things I was trying to do. Anyway, images continues linking to “/wp-content…” in place the “/blog/wp-content…”. Someone have idea how can I solve this? Thanks.

    I have seen another mistake. The link to pages of wordpress are http://example.com/page/ in place the http://example.com/index.php/page/. I imagine that there is a way to solve it.

    Edit: It was a personal problem because I was trying to enter pages from a bad link make by mine at the other webhosting in place the official link to pages at the list of the wp_list_pages() function. Sorry.
