 * Hi there
    In short, I can’t point to my blog posts anymore, please help.
 * In detail;
    For URL cleanness, I copied the index page one level up, from within/
   wp folder (wp installation), to the root folder, but preserving the wp environment
   and content within the wp folder
 * Following the indications in the wordpress page: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory](https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory),
   I edited the index file,
    changed ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ ); for ‘/wp/wp-blog-header.
   php’ );
 * In dashboard, general settings, I pointed the Site URL to the root folder and
   kept the WordPress URL to ‘wp’ folder (as it was)
 * After saving changes, went to PERMALINKS, as suggested by the above link.
    The
   problem is the link above says “go to the Permalinks panel and update your Permalink
   structure. WordPress will automatically update your .htaccess file if it has 
   the appropriate file permissions.”
 * It doesn’t say what exactly to do so I’ve tried a couple of things and none works;
   Kept the structure as it was, didn’t work, then changed the structure from ‘Post
   name’ to ‘custom structure’ adding the /wp so trying to point my posts to the/
   wp folder (as before)…didn’t work either. Posts appear in my blog page, but point
   to nothing (links broken?). When saving permalinks, got the ‘saved’ message, 
   so I thing it’s not do to with .htaccess file, though I see no change when inspecting
   it after each save
 * What is the structure my PERMALINKS should have to access the old posts in the
   database ?
    thanks/regards, marie

 * Hi Marie
 * It looks fine on my side. I accessed your May 14th posts just fine.
 * Perhaps try clearing your cache / flush your dns?
