I suppose so since you’ve update their URI’s, correct? * Thanks so much for the help. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [import existing site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-existing-site/) * Thread Starter [dwcasey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwcasey/) * (@dwcasey) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-existing-site/#post-361402) * Can you explaing what you mean by move? Did you just copy files to the root? Or install / reinstall WP to root? * I can see working on new site in new directory, but how will WP know the files are not in new anymore and they are now in root? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [import existing site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-existing-site/) * Thread Starter [dwcasey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwcasey/) * (@dwcasey) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-existing-site/#post-361368) * Splash page meaning the default page you get when you hit a site where WP was just installed. * Yes, existing site. The goal is to begin to use a CMS type application ( WP ) to manage the site and allow other people to manage the site content without always having to funnel changes through me. * I initially did install to a seperate directory. This is fine for the initial migration. However, once I’m done, I really need to be able to use WP to manage the actual site and not just a seperate instance that has to be copied everytime changes are made. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [import existing site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-existing-site/) * Thread Starter [dwcasey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwcasey/) * (@dwcasey) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-existing-site/#post-361278) * I was able to install to docroot at [http://www.sitename.com](http://www.sitename.com), so after install, my main page had the WP splash page. * That’s good…sorta 🙂 Problem is, I need to create new site apart of current site. No interruptions. So I can do second installation of WP to [http://www.sitename.org/wptgc](http://www.sitename.org/wptgc) and make new site. * What is best way to take new site from wptgc and apply it to the docroot install of WP at site [http://www.sitename.org](http://www.sitename.org) ? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [import existing site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-existing-site/) * Thread Starter [dwcasey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwcasey/) * (@dwcasey) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-existing-site/#post-361268) * I was wrong, I am able to install to docroot. Let me play some more once I re- install to docroot.
