 * Hi,
 * I have a WordPress site (vanschendel.com). This site is automatically linked 
   to /wordpress.
 * All WP files are placed in a sub-directory calles ‘wordpress’.
    So, if someone
   visit ‘vanschendel.com’ they are automatically linked to ‘vanschendel.com/wordpress’.
 * How can I get rid of ‘/wordpress’? If someone visit ‘vanschendel.com’,
    I don’t
   want to be directed to /wordpress, but do see the whole wordpress site in /wordpress.
 * many thanks in advanced.
 * Roland

 * Solved by myself 😉
 * Copy index.php and .htaccess to DocumentRoot.
    Edit index.php and change the 
   line
 * (‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
    require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
 * Change the Site-url in WordPress Dashboard.
