Then went back to Settings>Permalinks and clicked on the “pretty” permalink structure. * I looked at the .htaccess file again and the “double” code appeared again. * I tempted to repeat the above process, but deleting .htaccess after saving to default permalinks. * Would that screw up the website? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Basic .htaccess?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-htaccess/) * Thread Starter [runamuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/runamuck/) * (@runamuck) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/basic-htaccess/#post-6508248) * So can I delete the extraneous code and save the file without doing any harm? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moving WP files from one location to another](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wp-files-from-one-location-to-another/) * Thread Starter [runamuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/runamuck/) * (@runamuck) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wp-files-from-one-location-to-another/#post-6493752) * Thanks! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moving WP files from one location to another](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wp-files-from-one-location-to-another/) * Thread Starter [runamuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/runamuck/) * (@runamuck) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wp-files-from-one-location-to-another/#post-6493627) * wow. thanks so much. I just have to copy over wp-content to the root? Shouldn’t I copy over everything? * Am I supposed to completely empty the root folder before putting new files in? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moving WP files from one location to another](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wp-files-from-one-location-to-another/) * Thread Starter [runamuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/runamuck/) * (@runamuck) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wp-files-from-one-location-to-another/#post-6493597) * okay…now I’m getting a little (okay, a lot) nervous. Can someone review my plan of action below and let me know that it’s correct? * My situation: My redesigned site (new) is in a subdirectory (folder) of the primary domain name. (eg. [http://www.primary.com/newsite](http://www.primary.com/newsite)). * The site to be replaced (old) is in a subdomain of the primary domain name (shared hosting on same server). This is the root directory. (eg [http://www.rootsite.com](http://www.rootsite.com)) * My strategy: 1 – back up “old” WP files and database. This is the existing site on the root directory. 2 – Log into newsite and change WordPress and Site address to new location which should reflect the root directory. 3 – Move WP core files to the new location via FTP. 4 – done??? * I guess I’m not sure what to do with the existing site. Can I simply move the files to a subdomain labeled Archives? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [RSS Feeds](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feeds-49/) * [runamuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/runamuck/) * (@runamuck) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-feeds-49/#post-6065717) * You don’t need a plugin, but you can give your site admin the feed URL by category: * [http://yourwebsitename.com/category/your_category_name/feed/](http://yourwebsitename.com/category/your_category_name/feed/) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Redesigning a site while keeping existing site active](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redesigning-a-site-while-keeping-existing-site-active/) * Thread Starter [runamuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/runamuck/) * (@runamuck) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redesigning-a-site-while-keeping-existing-site-active/#post-5936377) * So what should I do with the old WP site?

Should I just redirect the URL in Settings? I don’t want to break any existing links. I haven’t done this is a while… * Thanks! * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Giving WordPress Its Own Directory](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/giving-wordpress-its-own-directory-7/) * Thread Starter [runamuck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/runamuck/) * (@runamuck) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/giving-wordpress-its-own-directory-7/#post-1893816) * I’ve been making the edits thru Dreamweaver (in remote view). Just to double- check, I went into the the webhost’s file manager via cPanel and checked the file and it was unchanged. I edited the file via cPanel and it worked.
