WP in subdirectory… not working

    I installed WP in a subdirectory, then followed the directions (http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory) for having it display at the root URL, but it’s not working. I did as directed:

    1. Changed site url to root (Settings -> General)
    2. Copied .htaccess and index.php to root
    3. Changed require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); to require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
    4. Updated permalinks

    But no luck… So I’ve temporarily created an index.html with a meta redirect to the subdirectory… but really want this to work — so clunky to see the subdirectory in URLs. Help!

    Site is at http://www.slscc.org, and as soon as you’re redirected you’ll see the subdirectory name.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi Ted, got your email and popped in to see your post. I think you made a mistake in Step 3. It should be 

    require('./chaicoughski/wp-blog-header.php');

    because chaicoughski is the directory you installed WordPress in. Give it a try and see how it goes 🙂

    That is exactly what I have in my index.php… which is why I’m confused that it’s not working. Next idea?

    That’s strange.. Could you be more specific about how it “doesn’t work”? Do you get an error message or something?

    P.S. I’m going to guess that whatever error I’ve made and am not figuring out is also why automatic updates aren’t working…

    OK, that’s weird: it’s now working just fine! Hmmm… Could it have been a cache issue, that I was seeing the old site for as long as a day or two? (After 2nd day of old site still showing up, I created an index.html with meta-refresh redirect to chaicoughski… Just now, on removing that file, the WP is showing up as it should. Go figure!)

    Yup it’s working for me too. Could have been a cache issue for sure. Glad it worked out for you! Btw, your URLs still have chaicoughski in them. Perhaps you want to update the menus.

    All working now… must have been a cache issue.
