Can someone answer my last question on this forum post from the other day [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/303146?replies=23](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/303146?replies=23) * Basically I want to make sure that the process of updating the Permalinks will change a page (while the site is under development – installed in a /wp folder) such as: example.com/wp/about to: example.com/about * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Issues with installing on GoDaddy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-installing-on-godaddy/) * [jonikw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonikw/) * (@jonikw) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-installing-on-godaddy/page/2/#post-1186085) * Thank you Michael and apologies to keep asking questions … * > put this index.php file in your web-root folder (same folder that contains > the blog folder) * If I install into a /wp folder vs. your /blog example – do I have to change the` require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');` in your example to `require('./wp/wp-blog- header.php');` * Also – will the process of updating the permalinks then make a page such as: [http://mydomain.com/wp/about](http://mydomain.com/wp/about) become [http://mydomain.com/about](http://mydomain.com/about) * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Issues with installing on GoDaddy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-installing-on-godaddy/) * [jonikw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonikw/) * (@jonikw) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-installing-on-godaddy/page/2/#post-1186083) * Thank you. Trying to make sure I understand. * If I install WordPress to say: mydomain.com/wp and do all the development – all the necessary files and uploads for the NEW site are located within the /wp folder. During devel. my Settings->General for Blog address says [http://mydomain.com/wp](http://mydomain.com/wp) * Then to switch over and go live I just have to: 1. Change the Settings->General to: [http://mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com) 2. Put the index.php file shown above in the root * Do I need to delete the index.html file from the root so it loads the index.php? How do I redirect links to the old html pages? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Issues with installing on GoDaddy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-installing-on-godaddy/) * [jonikw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonikw/) * (@jonikw) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-installing-on-godaddy/page/2/#post-1186081) * I am setting up a WordPress site for a client who has an existing HTML site on GoDaddy. During the development phase of the WP site I obviously do not want to disrupt anything on the current site. * My question is: Can I install the WP in the root and work on developing the site without causing any conflicts to the HTML site? Will I be able to browse to the WP site? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Sponsors Slideshow Widget] Problem with alignment](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sponsors-slideshow-widget-problem-with-alignment/) * Thread Starter [jonikw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonikw/) * (@jonikw) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sponsors-slideshow-widget-problem-with-alignment/#post-1335622) * Problem resolved. Just had to change/delete the margin setting for .links_slideshow in the CSS. * Love the plugin! Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total)
