 * My website is situated on [http://www.xxxxx.com/1](http://www.xxxxx.com/1) (fake/
   example url)
    I want to redirect [http://www.xxxxx.com/](http://www.xxxxx.com/)
   to go directly to [http://www.xxxxx.com/1](http://www.xxxxx.com/1) I have the
   option of doing this through my hosting/domain provider (godaddy) but from my
   understanding the /1 will still show up unless I turn on masking. One more problem–
   I want the subcategories of /1 to show up, so for example if someone were to 
   click on a page [http://www.xxxxx.com/blog](http://www.xxxxx.com/blog) it would
   take them to [http://www.xxxxx.com/1/blog](http://www.xxxxx.com/1/blog) but still
   display [http://www.xxxxx.com/blog](http://www.xxxxx.com/blog) Once again, from
   my understanding, masking would cover the URL with the [http://www.xxxxx.com](http://www.xxxxx.com)
   now matter what page you go to… So that is not an option. I thought I could do
   this through the WordPress Address (URL), Site Address (URL) settings in general
   settings, and copying and moving the .htaccess or index files after. But when
   I attempted to change either one of those, it tells me “Settings saved.”, yet
   both the URLs stay the same. Is something not working in the system?
 * Any advise on how to go about with this?
    Thank you
