Hello, you have to change the .htaccess file and point it to the correct path.
Have a look at this link http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
Kind regards
Did you copy index.php file or moved it as you still need to have index.php file in directory and did you reset your permalinks after you changed the urls Settings >>>General
Hi,
As stated previoulsy, I followed the instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory up to the letter.
Incl. copying index.php, .htaccess and resetting permalinks
Settings – WP URL is http://www.xxxx.com/wp-main
Settings – Site URL is http://www.xxxx.com
etc…
Everything works well(*), except this one link: www.xxxx.com/wp-main
(*) for example even www.xxxx.com/wp-main/contact will redirect nicely to www.xxxx.com/contact. And my backend is correctly accessible via www.xxxx.com/wp-main/wp-admin.
But www.xxxx.com/wp-main will result in 404 instead of the static home page that is shown correctly with www.xxxx.com
My .htaccess in / is:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
My .htaccess in /wp-main is:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp-main/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp-main/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Appreciate any input towards resolution…or is this a known flaw as indicated in some other posts ;-(
