Come eliminare /wordpress/ dall’URL del vostro sito WordPress

1. Brenda

   Thank you so much for this tutorial! So helpful.

   I followed step #2 and all the pages on my site work now without the /wordpress in the URL, EXCEPT for the homepage. I updated the Site URL in Settings > General, but for some reason the homepage still redirects from mysite.com to mysite.com/wordpress.

   Any idea why this might be happening? Thanks in advance!

     From the sound of the issue, we would recommend checking your index.php and htaccess are both in the correct folder for a likely reason.

   Not sure if this related, on initial set up should you you use the www dot …. com or just your sitename dot… com

     That is a different situation that we cover in our guide below. WWW vs non-WWW is personal preference:

   I followed Method 1: Change WordPress Site Address
   changed the site address with out /mywpfolder
   and downloaded the ht.access and the index file – (they dont match your eg but just added the /mywpfolder etc
   and uploaded the htaccess and the index files back to the root directory
   BUT
   the correct front page came up and then clicked on a link it came up but clicked on a link then and it 404’d.
   my guess is that some pages have urls manually put in but how do I search and replace these?

   Hi!
   First, thank you very much!
   I followed the second method, and now accessing the admin page works without adding “/wordpress” in the URL.
   But when I try to access my website I still have to add “/wordpress” to the URL?!
   Can anyone help? Where have I gone wrong?

     The site is likely active in the old location, you should should still be able to see your login if you go to yourdomain/wp-login.php

   Thank you! I’m a WP novice so your step by step instructions was perfect. I do have a question – I followed Method 1 – does the redirect add to the site loading time? I ask because my site takes very long to load. Thank you!

   Rispondi

   • WPBeginner Support

     While it adds a small amount to the loading time, it shouldn’t add enough to be noticeable. If this increase in load time was recent then you may want to check with your host to ensure there isn’t something conflicting with the redirect you set up.

   I have a question: if I use method 1, do I have to change all url links of my posts and images? My blog are actually inside a folder and I want to make a redirection to the root domain. It’s not clear…

   Rispondi

   • WPBeginner Support

     For the first method, you shouldn’t need to redirect your posts.

   Hi, I made the change in the index.pho file as directed and moved the two files to the root directory, but I get this error message:

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ” );’ (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE) in /data/40/5/47/114/5373603/user/6433782/htdocs/index.php on line 17

   I think line 17 is exactly as described in the instructions, please help!

     You may want to ensure you copied the code correctly and pasted it on a new line. You may want to take a look at our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-pasting-snippets-from-the-web-into-wordpress/

    Hi!
    Great tutorial, and my URL now redirects (woohoo!)
    However when I go the settings tab and change the site title to the one without /wordpress, the site works fine except for the home page, which gives an error.

    What am I missing here…?

    I have my site hosted on my server. Wordpress dir is located in /home/myuser/.

    If I have a wordpress instance in a subdirectory and I just want to delete it and not move it, can I just delete the folder, or do I need to go through some kind of un-install procedure so it is removed from the database as well?

    Rispondi

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Rachel,

      Yes you can delete it. However, we will still recommend to download it as a backup before deleting it.

    Hey, so i had a go at this, and for some reason i am now faced with an HTTP 500 error.

    Not sure where i went wrong, but i don’t seem to be able to get it back to normal.

    Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    I have tried resetting the index.php back to default as well as the .htacess file with no avail.

    To make matters more difficult i get the same HTTP 500 message when trying to login to the wordpress admin as well.

      Hi Michael,

      My folder is called “/wp” instead of “/wordpress”, so probably yours too!

      That might be the problem…

        I had the same problem, and my folder was called wp. I just went back to the index.html file and changed it from wordpress to wp and problem solved! Such a helpful article, this was hanging over my head for months and so glad to have it fixed!

    Hi Syed, many thanks for all these, I have been postponing my site for over a year now as it was simply too intimidating. I had however made the fault of installing wordpress to the subdomain /wp and set the entire site up. Just sorted it out with you tut above. I have however come across a new problem, my home/landing page no longer loads my blog posts. How do I resolved this? I also get a redirect error as well.

      Hi Gareth,

      Good luck with your new website. Wish we could be more helpful, but it is up to the theme and your website settings. Please see our WordPress troubleshooting guide to figure out whats causing it.

    Hi, I followed these steps and my website is working fine. Only issue is now I can’t seem to load my theme’s UX Builder for my site.

    does this method cause any issue if I am using a theme UX builder?

    Rispondi

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Yan Xun,

      Here is what you can try. First create a backup of your website. After that Uninstall the UX builder by visiting the plugins page, now install and activate it again.

      If it comes packaged with your theme, then again create a backup of your website. After that you need to download a fresh copy of your theme. Next, temporarily switch your WordPress site to a default WordPress theme like TwentySeventeen. Delete your old theme and then install it from the zip file you downloaded earlier.

    Thanks for your helpful website. I downloaded .htaccess and index.php. My index php says index.php4 The line on it says this: .htaccess disapears when I download it to the desktop. In ftp, they are located in the same folder as the wordpress1 folder is located. It appears to be the root directory. The site has the url with wordpress1 at the end of it. I’m not sure what to do, and don’t want to crash the site!

    Thanks,

    Can I ask why you download .htaccess only to upload it again?, there is no mention of edting htaccess so why download in the first place ?

      I believe he’s asking us to download the one from the /wordpress/ subdirectory and then upload it to the / root (which is up one level). I hope that helps

    1. I have moved my example.com WP installation into subfolder (let’s call it “secret-sub”).

    2. Typing example.com/wp-login.php automatically re-directs me to example.com/secret-sub/wp-login.php :((

    ((Note: Visiting no other part of my web page shows this subfolder name as part of URL address; visitors see only example.com everywhere.))

    Is this normal behaviour?

    And if so – what’s actually the point of having your WP installation in “secret” subfolder – when basic /wp-login.php and /wp-admin brute attack re-directs to URL showing the “secret subfolder” name??

    Any clear explanation will be very much appreciated. Thx.

    Rispondi

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Filip Kevely,

      When you install another WordPress instance in a sub-folder it creates a conflict for WordPress permalinks. To fix that you need to add this code to your sub-folder site’s .htaccess file:

      # BEGIN WordPress
      <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteBase /secret-sub/
      RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule . /secret-sub/index.php [L]
      </IfModule>
      # END WordPress
      

      Hosted with ❤️ by WPCode

      
      1-click Use in WordPress

      Don’t forget to replace secret-sub with the actual subfolder name.

    problem with 404, I resolve it in a longest manner, First I just open the post and click update, it works,.. although if you got a thousand post then you grow beard before you finish everything,..

    second solution

    another solution, although i never test this type of solutions in my active sites,
    1. first thing first back-up your wordpress website,
    2. when back-up is done, got to tools and click export, it will create xml file
    3. delete all post,..
    4. Import the xml file that you exported,. and and everythng go smoothly,..

      Hi,

      have you checked if you REALLY have a “yourdomain/wordpress” directory?
      Or a “yourdomain/wp” directory!

      Because if you do you have to change the index.php editing accordingly ; )

      Hope that helps,, it worked for me ; )

    Hi, great article, the first one I found which explains this topic in a good matter.
    I have a similar problem, but a little bit more tricky. I do not know how it happened, but certainly I have done something strange at the WP installation. If I check my homepage it is actually in another extra worpress folder, that means I have WP in another WP folder, so my homepage looks like this: “www.example.com/wordpress/wordpress”. in the filemanager in the frp client i can see in the public_html two folders of wordpress. I did not move yet the wordpress folder with the content one level up and actually eliminate the other folder, because I am worried that I will mass it up.
    Has anybody have an idea what would be the best solution? So I actually get the homepage opened under: “www.example.com” and not “www.example.com/wordpress/wordpress”?

    thanks for any good hint/solution.

    I see that several have the same problem as me, but I can not see any response to the issue.

    That is that everything seems to work fine except for:
    the home-page which is still directing to site.com/wordpress and therefore shows a 404 page.
    I did try to delete the htaccess file from the root directory and update the url-structure. it created a new htaccess file but the problem still is the same..

    Would really appreciate your response to this!
