Thanks, but I cannot see that this answers my question.
I guess I am just too noob to understand this. I would really appreciate some expert help so I don´t ruin my whole site. I have already messed up several times 🙂

Is this so complicated that I have to hire a professional?
Actually, that Moving WordPress link does have the answer.
Your URLs have changed but your Domain name hasn’t.
Therefore, you will have to do a search and replace of the database to update the URLs to the new location (in your case, without the /wordpress).
There is a link there too for the tool that I always use as it also handles serialized strings stored in the db; a popular plugin does not.
Here’s the link, in case you missed it 🙂
`http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/’
MAKE SURE you have a backup of your db BEFORE running this tool, and read the instructions carefully! 🙂
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress has all the information you need. See the section “On Your Existing Server”.
While WordPress.org has done a fantastic job of making WordPress easy to install and setup, it is, in reality, a database-driven application usually running on a remote server and accessible and usable over the internet.
You will need to decide if that’s too complicated or not. I think of it as a great learning experience.
pretty easy, copy index.php and .htaccess (not move them) to root folder
edit index.php and change /blog-header.php to /wordpress/blog-header.php
in admin settings -> General change “site address” yourwebsite/wordpress/ to yourwebsite
oh, I think of it as a great learning experience.
Thanks you, I cannot see that this answers my question.
