 * Hello,
 * According the codex it’s wise to move config.php one folder above.
 * So it should be moved from dir/root/ to dir/ ?
 * Is that more safe and don’t i need a .htacces file there(dir/)?

 * Hi,
 * I suggest you to secure your wp-config.php file rather than moving it to another
   folder..Please read this article for the same:
