   Thanks so much for this. I did install WP into a subdirectory and then spent a week remaking the site so that it was installed in the root directory At least now I know better after reading your tutorial.

   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.

   Thank you so much for this!! I did everything you said to do, and almost everything works. There’s just one page that stopped working and is returning a 404 error page. Can you help? Thanks!

   I tried, but the space that says Website Address and site address does not exist in my General area in Settings.
   Is there another way to do it?

   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!
   Thank you for a great post.

    I have two domains in a single account. and so two wordpress installations in two subfolders. In this case, is it possible to move index.php and .htaccess of both sites to same root directory. If not what to do ?

    • Shady

      You can make use of vhost go in the conf of ur webhost and do something like:

      DocumentRoot D:/webserver/htdocs/domain1
      ServerName domain1.om
      ServerAlias www.domain1.com
      
      
      
      
      DocumentRoot D:/webserver/htdocs/domain2
      ServerName domain2.om
      ServerAlias www.domain2.com
      

      This will make the subfolder the root for the domain you want to

    public_html/www.example.com/hi
    public_html/www.example.com/ur

    is this possible and if yes then how can i do it plz help

    Rispondi

    • WPBeginner Support

      It is possible. There are multiple ways to do this. You can consider creating a multilingual WordPress site. This will eliminate maintaining separate WordPress installs.

      You can also go installing multiple WordPress instances in separate directories for each language. You will have to setup redirects in .htaccess file.

    However, when trying to follow the steps, I realised that I don’t have the index.php file in my /wordpress/ directory. Is that weird? I can see the .htaccess, but the index.php is not there!!!

    This worked but now the admin bar is not visible when navigating the site. One of the perks of WordPress is the ability to easily navigate and edit pages. How can I add the admin bar back to the site?

    Hi,
    I executed al these steps and it works great except for my home-page.
    When accessing my home-page the /wordpress is still appended to the url, but the page is no longer found. All other pages are working fine.
    My first thought was to deactivate all plugins, but that didn’t help. No matter what I am doing, still getting that error.
    Any advice would be great !

    Rispondi

    • WPBeginner Support

      You can try these steps:

      Connect to your website using an FTP client. In the root directory you will find a .htaccess file. Download it to your computer. Delete the original file from your website. Visit your site’s admin area and go to Settings » Permalinks. Do not change any settings on the page, just click on the save changes button. Check your website to see if the error has resolved.

        HI, I have followed these instrucs to the letter, too….. the home page url still loads as example.com/wordpress and I get a 404 error. Subpages work just fine, it is the home page. Tried the above suggestions but still receiving 404 error. Any other suggestions?

      • Guy Riems

        Well, I finally found the issue why wordpress was still appended to the URL of my homepage only. In the document root there was a index.html containing a permanent redirect to
        mysite/wordpress. I am using Apache as webserver; the default search-order for Apache is index.html before index.php.

    Thank you for all the great tutorials, they have been enormously helpful as a beginner to WP. On this one I have followed all the instructions to the letter but get a blank screen when making the changes. I have resorted to redirecting to /wordpress for the time being so that the site remains active. Any clues?

      No clue, but you can try deactivating all plugins and switch to a default theme, then follow the instructions.

    Thanks so much for the thorough details. Worked well, but only the second time after some investigating of the problem. My root directory had /wp not /wordpress so I had to edit the index.php file with ….
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wp/wp-blog-header.php’ ); instead of
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’ );

    Many thanks.

    Hi, how do i add subfolders for the menus in my site. i want my menus eg the menu SHOP to have example.com/Shop as its address

    Rispondi

    • WPBeginner Support

      WordPress does not have subfolders. It does have parent and child pages. For example, your shop page can have address like example.com/shop and it can have a child page like example.com/shop/clothing. You can also add child items to any item in the navigation menu regardless of its content type. See our tutorial on how to add navigation menus in WordPress.

    Em… I think I broke something by following this tutorial…
    Last night I did th exact steps in this article and it worked – my WP page was no longer under /wordpress but in myname.com. However when I tried to login and access my dashboard this morning I got a database error saying “Error establishing a database connection”. Now I’m desperate.
    What did I do? I’ve just downloaded the htcaccess and the index.php file and edited them as you showed. To fix the problem I also tried to re-download the files, roll them back as they were (I re-set the index file to wp-blog-header) and upload them but with no luck.
    Anyone can help me understanding what I could have done?

    For those of you still suffering problems when you do this, don’t forget after making the changes and uploading the files back to the web server, to log into the admin area, go to “Settings” then “Permalinks” and simply hit “Save Changes” to update your Permalink Structure.

    Thanks so much for a great post. I hope there is still support for this even though it is about 2 months old!

    I do have one question. On my main wordpress parallax page there is no /wordpress. However, I created a new page (for a form submission) and the menu nav bar changes the link location once that new page is open.

    Normally since it is a one page parallax on the main home page it works fine, but once you go to the new page, all the buttons on the nav bar change and have a /wordpress/ gets added in between the address (and results in a 404 page error). For example http://www.texample.com/wordpres/blog. But on the main home page when you click on blog the address is http://www.example.com/blog. I made the changes mentioned above, but still can’t seem to solve the problem. What are your thoughts? Thank you in advance!

    So what am I supposed to change in the htaccess file?

    Rispondi

    • leo

      Just nothing. You download index.php and .htaccess files from to Wordpress installation folder. You make the correction only to the index.html file. Then you upload both files to the root folder of your site. Done.

    For me this is just part of a normal WordPress install. I find it tidier to install wordpress in a subdirectory. I know others who do so as well. There’s nothing “accidental” about it.

    Rispondi

    • Mitch

      I agree Susanna! I purposefully always install Wordpress to a subfolder. Keeps it cleaner that way. Especially when designing websites that are NOT Wordpress driven, but Wordpress is used for a only for a blog or some other specific purpose.

    The problem is with the plungin becouse when i change my site to the root folder and click to the translation flag it goes to the url “http://filmarte.ec/en/” but it doesnt load the translation, so i have to get back and when it loads to “http://filmarte.ec/wordpress/en/” it loads the tranlated site well

    Does it work with Wordpress Multi site setup ?

    i have My Wordpress installed in sub-directory, folder name “home”
    http://www.example.com/home/
    http://www.example.com/home/jobs/
    http://www.example.com/home/store/

    so this will be final path, after following above trick ?
    http://www.example.com/
    http://www.example.com/jobs/
    http://www.example.com/store/

    or there will be an issue doing this on WP Multi site setup ?

    Thanks for the tutorial. I have tried to force the .HTACCESS file from filezilla but it will not show up.

    It is a new installation. When I change the mysite.com/wordpress to mysite.com and view my site it takes me to my server home page.

    do I have to change any of the permalink structures to create the HTACCESS file.
    This issue has been a bug bear for some time now I only want people to search for stevenboocock.com

      If you just installed WordPress then it is possible that there is no .htaccess file to show. WordPress only generates .htaccess file when you are using pretty permalinks.

    Great article!

    I have a question though… If people wanted to visit my blog index page then previously they would have had to go to http://www.mydomain.com/wordpress . If this change was made as described in the article, would people now have to visit http://www.mydomain.com to see the blogs same front page?

    Would this change all the post URL from mydomain.com/wordpress/my_post to mydomain.com/my_post ?

      If your site is already on an address like this: http://www.example.com/wordpress, then you do not need to register another domain name you can just get rid of the wordpress and your site will be available to your readers on the main domain. i.e. http://www.example.com
