Så här tar du bort /wordpress/ från URL:en till din site i WordPress

Försöker du remove /wordpress/ från din website’s URL?

Ibland installerar Beginner WordPress i en subdirectory, och det gör att /wordpress/ visas i URL:en till deras website, till exempel http://example.com/wordpress/.

I den här artikeln kommer vi att visa dig hur du blir av med /wordpress/ från din WordPress site URL.

Removing /wordpress/ from your WordPress site url

Note: Den metod som visas i denna tutorial fungerar även för andra subdirectories.

Varför har min website /wordpress/ i sin URL?

WordPress är ganska enkelt att installera, och de flesta WordPress webbhotell erbjuder snabba WordPress installatörer i deras webbhotell kontrollpaneler.

Vissa Beginnare som installerar sin WordPress website manuellt kan dock råka installera den i en subdirectory. Oftast har denna subdirectory namnet ”wordpress”.

Detta händer vanligtvis eftersom användare slutar uppladdare wordpress foldern de hittar i den officiella WordPress.org download.

Låt oss ta en titt på hur du enkelt kan fixa detta och bli av med /wordpress/ från din sites URL. Vi kommer att täcka tre metoder, och du kan använda dessa länkar för att hoppa till den du vill använda:

Metod 1: Börja helt enkelt om med en new install av WordPress

Om du precis har installerat WordPress och det inte finns något content på din website kan du börja om från början.

Radera bara den aktuella installationen och följ instruktionerna i vår WordPress installation tutorial för att korrekt installera WordPress igen.

Om du redan har add to content till din website finns det två enkla sätt att remove /wordpress/ från din sites URL. Vi kommer att täcka dem i metoderna 2 och 3.

Metod 2: Ändra din WordPress Site Address

Om du har en etablerad site WordPress är den här metoden enklare och snabbare. Nackdelen med den här metoden är att dina media files, t.ex. images, fortfarande kommer att använda /wordpress/ i sin URL.

Först måste du logga in på din WordPress admin area och gå till Settings ” Allmänt. You will notice the ’WordPress Address’ and ’Site Address’ fields both will have the same URL.

Du måste ändra alternativet ”Site Address” och peka det mot din rotdomän, t.ex. http://www. example.com och lämna alternativet ”WordPress Address” som det är.

När du har gjort det klickar du på knappen ”Save Changes” för att lagra dina inställningar.

Change WordPress site address

Därefter måste du ansluta till din website med hjälp av en FTP-klient. Väl där går du till /wordpress/ directory och downloadar filerna .htaccess och index.php till din dator.

Om du inte kan lokalisera .htaccess-filen kan du behöva tvinga din FTP-klient att visa dolda filer. Om du använder Filezilla måste du klicka på Server i menyraden och välja alternativet ”Force showing hidden files”.

Show hidden files in your FTP client

När du har downloadat båda filerna till din dator måste du öppna filen index.php i en textredigerare som gillar Notepad. I den här filen hittar du en rad som gillar detta:

require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

Den här raden hämtar filen wp-blog-header.php, som är obligatorisk för att ladda din WordPress site.

Vad du behöver göra nu är att enter filens korrekta location genom att ersätta den befintliga raden med den här:

require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php' );

Save your changes and upload both index.php and .htaccess files from your desktop computer to the root of your domain using FTP.

Rotmappen är den parent-mapp som innehåller mappen ”wordpress”, och den brukar anropas /www/ eller /public_html/.

Root directory with a separate WordPress folder inside it

Nu är allt klart. You can now visit your website using the root domain, and everything will work fine.

http://example.com

Men om du behöver logga in på din WordPress-admin, måste du fortfarande gå till wp-admin i ”wordpress” directory så här:

http://www.example.com/wordpress/wp-admin

Metod 3: Flytta WordPress till root directory

Denna metod är mer omfattande och flyttar permanent din WordPress site från subdirectory till rotmappen på din website.

Step 1: Skapa ett Duplicator-paket

Först måste du installera och aktivera pluginet Duplicator på din website. För mer detaljer, se vår Step-by-Step guide om hur du installerar ett plugin för WordPress.

Vid aktivering måste du besöka sidan Duplicator ” Settings och sedan klicka på knappen ’Create New’.

Create new duplicator package

Detta kommer att starta Duplicator-guiden, som kommer att skapa ett installationspaket av hela din website. Klicka på knappen Nästa för att fortsätta.

Därefter kommer plugin att köra några skanningar. Om allt ser bra ut kan du klicka på knappen ”Bygg” längst ner.

Build duplicator package

Duplicator kommer nu att skapa ett paket och uppmana you att downloada det tillsammans med skriptet för installeraren.

Gå vidare och downloada båda filerna till din dator.

Download duplicator package

Step-by-Step 2: Skapa en New: Database för en ny install av WordPress

Du kan använda den befintliga WordPress-databasen, men det är bättre att skapa en new så att din gamla databas är säker och oförändrad. På så sätt kan du enkelt återgå till din site om något skulle gå fel.

You need to visit your hosting account’s cPanel dashboard, scroll down to the ”Databases” section, and then click on the ”MySQL Databases” icon.

Database cPanel

Därefter anger du helt enkelt ett namn för din database.

Därefter ska du klicka på knappen ”Create Database”.

Create database

cPanel kommer nu att skapa en new database åt you. Efter det måste du rulla ner till ”MySQL Users” section.

Nu måste du ange användarnamn och password för din nya användare av databasen och clicka på knappen ”Create a User”.

Create MySQL user

Nu måste du tilldela behörigheter för databasen till den nya användaren.

Rulla ner till sektionen ”Add User to Database” (Lägg till användare i databasen). Välj den användare i databasen som du har skapat i dropdown-menyn bredvid fältet ”User” och välj sedan databasen. Slutligen klickar du på knappen ”Add”.

Add user to database

Din new database är nu redo att användas för en ny install WordPress.

Step 3: Run Wizard för Duplicator

Nu måste du uploada Duplicator archive-paketet och filen installer som du downloadade tidigare till root directory på din website.

Detta är den directory som innehåller foldern/wordpress/.

Upload Duplicator files to the root folder of your website

När du har uppladdat båda filerna öppnar du skriptet för installeraren i ett fönster i webbläsaren. You will need to enter your site’s root URL and then prefix it with /installer.php.

https://example.com/installer.php

Detta öppnar guiden för att installera Duplicator.

Duplicator wizard

Kontrollera boxen Terms and Conditions och klicka sedan på knappen ”Next” för att fortsätta.

Därefter kommer du att bli ombedd att ange information om databasen. Enter informationen för den database som vi skapade tidigare i steg 2.

Connect your database

När du har enter informationen om databasen klickar du på knappen ”Next” för att fortsätta. Duplicator kommer nu att packa upp din backup av WordPress-databasen från archive till din new database.

Därefter kommer den att be dig att updating the site URL and path. You behöver inte göra något här, eftersom den nya URL:en och sökvägen kommer att upptäckas automatiskt. Men om den inte gör det kan du manuellt enter detaljerna här.

New site settings

Duplicator kommer nu att slutför migreringen.

You will be able to click on the ”Admin Login” button to access your website at the new location.

Migration finished

Step-by-Step 4: Ställ in omdirigeringar från subdirectory till rotmapp

Grattis, du har utan problem flyttat din WordPress site från subdirectory till rotmappen.

Nu är det dags att ställa in redirects så att dina användare och search engines kan hitta din websites new location.

Först måste du ansluta till din WordPress site med hjälp av en FTP-klient och sedan ta bort den gamla /wordpress/ foldern.

Delete old wordpress subdirectory

Därefter växlar du till admin area på din site i WordPress. Eftersom du har flyttat den till roten av din website, kommer din WordPress admin URL att gilla detta:

https://example.com/wp-admin

Nu måste du installera och aktivera pluginet Redirect. För mer detaljer, se vår Step-by-Step guide om hur du installerar ett plugin för WordPress.

Vid aktivering måste du besöka Tools ” Redirect page. Pluginet kommer nu att visa dig en installationsguide. Klicka bara på knapparna ”Continue Setup” och sedan ”Finish Setup”.

Redirection setup

Därefter måste du byta till tabben ”Redirects” och add new redirect.

First, you need to check the ”REGEX” box at the corner of the first field.

Därefter går du till fältet ”Source URL” och lägger till https://example.com/wordpress/.*Nästgår du till fältet ”Target URL” och lägger till https://example.com/$1.

Redirect subdirectory to root folder

Glöm inte att ersätta ”example.com” med ditt eget domain name. Se sedan till att du klickar på knappen ”Add Redirect” för att save dina ändringar, och you are done.

Ett annat verktyg du kan använda för att redirecta posts och pages är All in One SEO (AIOSEO). Vi visar dig hur du omdirigerar besökare som använder gamla URL:er som innehåller /wordpress/ till din nya site location i vår Beginner’s guide on how to do full site redirects in WordPress.

Dessutom kan du aktivera 404 error tracking för att fånga upp eventuella trasiga links så att du inte förlorar keyword ranking.

Från och med nu kommer alla användare som försöker komma åt din website med /wordpress/ i URL:en automatiskt att redirectas till korrekta posts med din nya rot-URL.

    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!

  3. Adrian says

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

  4. Lilly Walker says

    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?

  5. Alice K says

    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?

    • WPBeginner Support says

      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

  6. sginader says

    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!

    • WPBeginner Support says

      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.

      Administratör

  7. Rachel says

    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…

  8. birgit van Munster says

    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!

  9. Bella says

    Thank you so much! The guide I was reading didn’t mention the .htaccess part. This guide fixed the error on my site. Great work!

  10. Bart says

    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…?

  11. TROP ICSU says

    Hi there!

    I have my site hosted on my server. WordPress dir is located in /home/myuser/.
    I tried to follow your steps by copying the updated index.php and .htaccess into same dir level where wordpress dir is. But no success.

    Can you pl guide? Thank you.

  12. Rachel says

    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?

  13. Michael Hayman says

    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.

    • Clarisse says

      Hi Michael,

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

      That might be the problem…

      • Louise says

        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!

  14. Gareth Botha says

    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.

  15. Yan Xun says

    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?

    • WPBeginner Support says

      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.

  16. Gina says

    Help! I followed your tutorial for removing wordpress. Now I can’t get into the site or admin.
    Getting the following:
    Warning: require(/home/content/09/8001609/html/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/09/8001609/html/index.php on line 17

  17. Marko says

    Done that, and ’/wordpress’ from addressbar is gone, but Google still lists it with it in the search. For example:

  18. Beth says

    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,
    Beth

  19. Lee Graham says

    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 ?

    • Brandi says

      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 :)

  20. Manpreet Kaur says

    HI,

    Thankyou so much for these helpful tutorials my one problem is solved but there is one another. When I search on google and type my website address it shows index of link instead of my website name. When I click on that link it opens my website. Can anyone help me to display my website URL on google instead of index of URL.

  21. Ariadne1985 says

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    I spent hours working on it (failure) and then found your site + explanation.

    SUPERB!

  22. Filip Kevely says

    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.

    • WPBeginner Support says

      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
      

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

      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 ; )

        how to check whether i have a /wordpress or a /wp directory? and what following changes should i make then in the index.php file?

        Thank you for this reply!! Your answer is what helped me solve my problem. I didn’t realize you couldn’t just use ’wordpress’ as the tutorial said but needed to use the exact subdirectory name. it worked. Thanks!!

  31. Vernon Harris says

    I was moving our word press site from the root folder to a sub folder and everything almost worked. The only exception was that I couldn’t find a way to remove the sub-folder from the domain URL.

  36. Temitope says

    Hello, Thanks for the tutorial, I’m pretty new to WordPress, I did a one click install and it was a multisite installation too. The website URL and domain URL fields are’nt available under settings. Please how do I go about this on a multisite???

  37. Tobi says

    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.

  38. Brandi says

    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!

  39. Krista Hagman says

    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?

  40. Carolina says

    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.
