 * Hi
 * I have a live site at [http://www.example.co.uk](http://www.example.co.uk)
    I
   have a test site at [http://www.example.co.uk/new](http://www.example.co.uk/new)
 * I’d like to make the test site live without having to move things around.
 * I think I want two things
 * 1) Redirect [http://www.example.co.uk/&#8230](http://www.example.co.uk/&#8230);
   to [http://www.example.co.uk/new/&#8230](http://www.example.co.uk/new/&#8230);
   
   2) Rewrite [http://www.example.co.uk/new/&#8230](http://www.example.co.uk/new/&#8230);
   to [http://www.example.co.uk/&#8230](http://www.example.co.uk/&#8230);
 * Can someone point me in the right direction please, any help appreciated, thanks.

 * You can use wordpress from directory so You will need to move what ever you have
   in root [http://www.example.co.uk](http://www.example.co.uk) into a directory
   and then follow instructions here
