# Site adress error

 * Hi!
 * So, I have a new WP installation on a location that is not root but inside a 
   folder. I think I succesfully changed what it’s needed because it seems to be
   working (I wanted [http://cenizasenelaire.com/](http://cenizasenelaire.com/) 
   to point to the installation on [http://cenizasenelaire.com/cenizas](http://cenizasenelaire.com/cenizas)).
   Thing is, I can’t change **Site adress (url)** to [http://cenizasenelaire.com/](http://cenizasenelaire.com/)
   in the WP options. It’ll show “403 Forbidden / Access to this resource on the
   server is denied!” when trying to save. So, WP doesn’t recognize “cenizasenelaire.
   com” as the frontpage but “cenizasenelaire.com/cenizas”. What could I’ve missed?
   Maybe I just can’t change that?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Change everything back and then see [Allow WordPress to take over the root domain](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install).

 * That’s what I did. Problem is the first step is already not doable because the
   error is not a “file not found” but the one I mentioned earlier (it won’t change
   the Site adress at all). Anyway, I finished the rest of the steps without changing
   that and that’s where I’m at the moment, but… yeah, I need to change that.
 * Regards.
