In reply to: Installing 'dev' Worpress in sub-directory of existing WordPress?Ah, yes sorry I don’t think I worded that too well. I was hoping I could, in this order:
1) Keep index.php in the root and my current site in /2012 sub-directory
2) Build and test the new site in the /2015 sub-directory
3) Update the index.php, and WordPress url (in settings) to point to the new site, when its ready.
4) Relax and enjoy my new site for a few years!I’m pretty sure from the replies so far that this isn’t going to work though!

In reply to: Installing 'dev' Worpress in sub-directory of existing WordPress?Thanks Greg, that would be perfect if they do. I have a fairly basic package so they may not, but definitely worth checking out.

In reply to: Installing 'dev' Worpress in sub-directory of existing WordPress?Well at the moment I have an existing site that is a WordPress, that sits in a sub-directory of my root. I need to create a new site (also a WordPress), that I can customise and test within the same space, without affecting the existing site. Then when the new site is ready I’m looking for a relatively painless way to swap them over. I’ve read about .htaccess rewrites and WordPress multi-site etc, but I can’t work out what the best option is for this situation?
Thanks again for your help.

In reply to: Installing 'dev' Worpress in sub-directory of existing WordPress?Thanks for the quick reply James, I’ll take a look at that and see how I get on!
With a sub-domain would I still be able to replace the existing index.php and update where it points to? Sorry, still a bit new to the technical side of this…
Thanks again,
Tom
