However all the wordpress links bring up a 404 error, and the post links are all wrong, missing the /wp/ directory part of the address. * If I add the wp directory onto the site URL, the wordpress links work, but the home page link just takes you back to the wordpress home page, rather than back to the main home page in the directory above. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Site URL problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-url-problem-3/) * Thread Starter [jasbro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasbro/) * (@jasbro) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-url-problem-3/#post-13042429) * Not quite. I’ve installed wordpress in a /wp directory, as I already have a separate home page and website established, so wordpress will not be the home page. I just want wordpress to link to my home page rather than to the index.php file in the wp directory. Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)
