    I got the solution!

    I’ve copied the files .htaccess and index.php from the folder where wordpress is installed (in my case public_html) and pasted them into the root directory. Then I’ve changed a line in index.php:

    from
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ );

    to
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/public_html/wp-blog-header.php’ );

    Now everything works like a charm.

    Thank you for your help!

    I have removed the hardcoded lines in wp-config.php. These entries can now be changed in the backend.

    The webspace is only used for this website, should I try to relocate my wordpress installation to the root directory?

    I’ve changed the database entries and trying to access my website results in a “Forbidden – You don’t have permission to access / on this server” message.

    Any ideas?

    I’ve checked wp-config, it’s indeed hardcoded in there, but changing it doesn’t do much – changing wp_siteurl resticts me from entering the backend and wp_home doesn’t do anything at all.

    Again, my directory looks as follows:
    /public_html/—all the wordpress files—

    Should I try to move all my wordpress files to the root directory? What about changing links which may occur in the database or in the programming?
