How Can I Move My Wordpress Install From Mydomain.net/blog To Mydomain.net?

Category: FAQ   Time: 2009-11-22   Tags: , , , , ,

I don’t wanna move my files from the /blog directory, I just want mydomain.net to redirect the visitors to mydomain.net/blog
well, I went to Wordpress’ General Options page and did this but it didn’t work :(
[WordPress address (URL): http://www.mydomain.net/blog
Blog address (URL): http://www.mydomain.net/
Enter the address here if you want your blog homepage to be different from the directory you installed WordPress.]
and since I’m on GoDaddy, my current mydomain.net page looks like this http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/1107/godaddykb1.png

    1. Enter the following code and save the file as index.php.
    < ?php
    header( 'Location: http://www.mydomain.net/blog‘ ) ;
    ?>
    2. Upload this index.php to
    http://www.mydomain.net/
    Thats it!
    If you want to move your blog to http://www.mydomain.net/ instead, follow these instructions…
    First upload Wordpress to http://www.mydomain.net – Its preferable to upload the same thing as http://www.mydomain.net/blog/
    At this point http://www.domain.net should have all the directories and files that are in http://www.mydomain.net/blog/
    Don’t delete the http://www.mydomain.net/blog/ directory yet.
    Now goto,http://www.mydomain.net/blog/wp-admin/
    Navigate to the Options tab. (/blog/wp-admin/options-general.php)
    And in there modify the following URLs to,
    WordPress address (URL): http://www.mydomain.net
    Blog address (URL): http://www.mydomain.net
    Now try opening http://www.mydomain.net
    If all goes well then you can delete http://www.mydomain.net/blog/

    make a redirect, you could cloak the /blog or just find a script that intregrates the blog like a cms then install that in the root
