    I have a website at http://www.mysite.com. I decided to try and build a WordPress site, and created and installed WP at http://www.mysite.com/WIP (WorkInProgress). I now know this was a mistake, just need to fix it.

    I want my WP site to ‘be found’ at the root domain.
    Should I move my directory?
    Should I just point to the different directory?
    Whats the best way to achieve what I’m after?

    Thanks team.

    You can create index.php on your root folder with the following contents with in…

    <?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__ ) . '/WIP/wp-blog-header.php' );

    This should do the trick!
