 * My usual workflow is create a development site on the back of my site e.g. mysite.
   com/dev/newsite and then when ready to go live it then goes to the new url e.
   g. newsite.com
 * However what I usually like to do is put WordPress in it’s own directory so it
   doesn’t clutter up the FTP e.g. newsite.com/site and then I add the index.php
   t root to access it from this folder.
 * Hopefully that makes sense! How would I go about moving the dev site to the new
   site using this structure?
