 * I need help with 2 things.
 * My wordpress URL is:
    [http://aaina.tasvver.org/2016_pv](http://aaina.tasvver.org/2016_pv)
 * Instead I want it to be simply [http://aaina.tasveer.org/2016](http://aaina.tasveer.org/2016)
 * 2.and when people type in aaina.tasveer.org it should default to [http://aaina.tasveer.org/2016](http://aaina.tasveer.org/2016)
   instead of the current default [http://aaina.tasveer.org/2015](http://aaina.tasveer.org/2015)
 * How do I accomplish this?
 * Thanks in advance

 * This section, Using a pre-existing subdirectory install, will get you #2:

   Especially note the sentence “If you already have content in your site, see when
   your domain name or URLs change for how to deal with references to the old URL
   that will remain in the database.”
 * Creating a page called 2016, and replicating your home page there, will get you#
   1.
 * Only potential problem: previous bookmarks made by visitors will no longer work.

 * Thank you. Fixed #2.
 * Hmm.. Do I need to recreate the whole new website and replicate the content? 
   Wow wish I had thought about it earlier.
 * Thanks.

 * “Do I need to recreate the whole new website and replicate the content?” – only
   if you want existing Bookmarks to work (that visitors may have made in their 
   browsers).
 * “Creating a page called 2016, and replicating your home page there, will get 
   you #1.” – a better idea is to make an index.html file at /2016/index.html with
   an automatic redirect to the home page. Using the meta Refresh HTML tag.
