* Thank you very much James for your quick response, I opted to change the database
directly to reflect a site running in the root & then copied all of the files&
it worked!
* I then used Velvet Blues Update URLs to sort out my references to the old /wordpress
subdirectory & its all up & running again!
* Now doing a backup before I try anything else!
* Thanks again!

* Hi Joy,
Many thanks for the quick response. I’ve checked my domain (aerodivers.
net) & I have not pointed it at the wordpress subdirectory. I have two .htaccess
files, one in root which has quite a lot in it including a bunch of stuff referring
to W3TC (a caching plugin I used to have that doesn’t seem to have cleaned up
after itself when I deleted it) and the following:-# BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule./
index.php [L] # END WordPress
* the other .htaccess is in the wordpress directory and only contains the following:-#
BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress
* I also note the web page you directed me to indicates since my site is in a directory
called wordpress my Settings/General WordPress Address URL should be [http://aerodivers.net/wordpress](http://aerodivers.net/wordpress)
not [http://wordpress.aerodivers.net](http://wordpress.aerodivers.net). I seem
to recall trying that at some point in the past & then couldn’t get into my site
but might this be a part of the cause?
* Also neither of the .htaccess files looks anywhere near as complex as those on
that web page & certainly don’t mention the wordpress directory – another part
of the cause?
* My index.php file however does contain the following:-
* define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
* /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require( dirname( __FILE__).‘/
wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’ );
* Does any of that help identify where the problem might be?

* Apologies Mirri360, but I can’t work out how to contact a member, but you had
an issue in another thread where The Upcoming Events widget list was indented
on your site & I see it is not now. I have the same issue & was wondering how
you resolved it?
* Kind Regards

* Found this [http://educhalk.org/blog/?p=21](http://educhalk.org/blog/?p=21) which
fixed it for me
* Still, the question remains: How do I replace [http://aerodivers.net](http://aerodivers.net)
with my new wordpress site that I’ve installed in a wordpress directory on the
same host, do I
1. copy the index & htaccess files from wordpress to root &
edit them 2. change the Settings/General urls to [http://aerodivers.net](http://aerodivers.net)
* Do I need to do anything in Permalinks?
How do I retain the Google ranking or
will there be no impact?

* Help! I’ve broken something!
* I changed Settings/General url for site & url for wordpress to [http://wp.aerodivers.net](http://wp.aerodivers.net)(
from [http://wordpress.aerodivers.net](http://wordpress.aerodivers.net)) & now
it can’t find my site & I can’t log in (it says [http://wp-aerodivers.net](http://wp-aerodivers.net)
is not found & [http://wordpress.aerodivers.net](http://wordpress.aerodivers.net)
is missing all of the theme
* 🙁

* I have & its scary!
* Also, I’m not moving to a new server or ideally Moving Directories on an existing
server.
* I simply want the new site to replace the old with the minimum effort & copying
all the files around seems like an invitation to disaster!
* Can I simply copy the index & htaccess files from wordpress to root & then edit
Settings/General url for the site? If I then go to Permalinks will this now reflect
the new ‘root’ location – do I need to change anything there.
Will I lose Google
ranking? (The bookmarking of sub-pages isn’t really an issue)
* Thanks
