Att installera WordPress i en subdirectory kan vara mycket användbart. Det gör att du kan run flera WordPress webbplatser under samma domän.
Den här inställningen är perfekt för att organisera content. Det hjälper också till att hantera olika projekt utan att påverka huvudwebbplatsen.
I den här guiden visar vi hur du installerar WordPress i en subdirectory. Behandlingen är enkel och kommer inte att påverka din parent domän.
Till slut har du en new WordPress site igång i en subdirectory.
Subdomain vs. Subdirectory: Vilken är bättre för sökmotorsoptimering?
Normalt sett vill du starta en WordPress website på ett eget domain name (till exempel wpbeginner.com).
Ibland kan du dock vilja skapa ytterligare websites med samma domain name.
Detta kan göras genom att antingen installera WordPress i en subdomain (http://newebsite.example.com) eller som en subdirectory (http://example.com/newwebsite/).
En fråga som vi får är vilken som är bäst för sökmotorsoptimering.
Search engines behandlar subdomains på ett annat sätt än root domain names och tilldelar rankning som separata websites.
Till exempel anser search engines att WPBeginner och våra WPBeginner Videos webbplatser är separata webbplatser.
Å andra sidan drar underkataloger direkt nytta av rotdomänens auktorisering och rankas därför högre i de flesta fall.
Ett sätt att skapa separata WordPress webbplatser i både subdomäner eller subdirectories är att installera ett WordPress multisite network.
Men om du vill att två websites ska hanteras separat kan du installera olika instanser av WordPress.
Du kan också använda WordPress tools för site management för att skapa en enda dashboard för att hantera flera WordPress installationer.
Obligatoriska förutsättningar för att installera WordPress i subdirectory
Det finns inga särskilda obligatoriska krav för att installera WordPress i en subdirectory. Om du redan har en WordPress website i root domain name är det bara att köra.
Men om du har en statisk (icke-WordPress) website kan du behöva kontrollera med ditt webbhotell om de har support för WordPress.
Om de inte gör det måste du flytta din website till ett annat webbhotell.
Vi rekommenderar att du använder Bluehost. De erbjuder en generös rabatt på webbhotell till WPBeginners användare med ett gratis domain name.
Om du använder en annan hosting provider, så gör alla de högst upp WordPress hosting företag det mycket enkelt att installera flera WordPress webbplatser med samma hosting konto.
Om du till exempel använder Bluehost kan du lägga till en new WordPress website från din dashboard på webbhotellet.
Kom dock vänligen ihåg att de flesta konton för delade webbhotell har limiterade resurser på servern.
En plötslig trafikökning på en av yours websites kommer att påverka prestandan och hastigheten på all andra websites på samma account.
Om du precis har börjat kan du göra det på ett delat webbhotell. Kom ihåg att du måste uppgradera till hanterat webbhotell för WordPress i takt med att ditt företag växer.
Med detta sagt, låt oss titta på hur du enkelt installerar WordPress i en subdirectory.
Step-by-Step 1: Skapa en subdirectory under rotdomännamnet
Först måste du skapa en subdirectory eller en folder under huvudwebbplatsen. Det är här du kommer att installera WordPress-filer.
Anslut till ditt WordPress webbhotell account med hjälp av en FTP-klient eller File Manager i cPanel.
När du är ansluten går du till din websites rotmapp, som vanligtvis är mappen /public_html/.
Du kommer att se dina WordPress-filer och -foldrar om du redan har WordPress installerat i rotmappen.
Högerklicka sedan och välj ”Create new directory” i menyn.
You need to be careful when choosing the name for your subdirectory. Detta kommer att vara en del av din nya WordPress sites URL och vad dina användare kommer att skriva i sina webbläsare för att nå denna website.
Om du till exempel döper denna directory till travel-guides, kommer adressen till din WordPress website att vara:
http://example.com/travel-guides/
Steg 2: Uppladda WordPress-filer
Din nyligen skapade subdirectory är tom för tillfället. Låt oss ändra på det genom att uploada WordPress-filer.
Först måste du besöka WordPress.org website och klicka på knappen ”Download”.
Din webbläsare kommer nu att downloada zip-filen med den senaste WordPress-programvaran till din dator.
När du har downloadat filen måste du selecta och extrahera den.
Mac-användare kan dubbelklicka på filen för att extrahera den, och Windows-användare måste högerklicka och sedan välja alternativet ”Extract All”.
När du har extraherat ZIP-filen kommer du att se en ”wordpress” folder.
I wordpress-mappen finns alla filer och mappar som tillhör WordPress core.
Nu ska vi uploada dessa filer till din new subdirectory.
Anslut till din website med en FTP-klient och gå till subdirectory som du skapade i det första steget.
I panelen för lokala filer i din FTP-klient går du till mappen ”wordpress” som du just extraherade.
Välj alla filer i mappen och uploada dem sedan till your new subdirectory.
Step-by-Step 3: Skapa en ny databas
WordPress lagrar allt ditt content i en database. Du måste skapa en ny database med din nya site WordPress installerad i en subdirectory.
Först loggar du in på instrumentpanelen på ditt WordPress-webbhotell och klickar på knappen ”Settings” under din website.
Därefter växlar du till tabben ”Advanced” från menyn högst upp.
Rulla ner lite till section cPanel och klicka sedan på ”Manage”.
Detta kommer att starta cPanel eller den avancerade kontrollpanelen för webbhotell.
Därifrån måste du klicka på ”MySQL Databases” under sektionen Databases.
Note: Din dashboard på webbhotellet kan se annorlunda ut än screenshoten ovan. You simply need to locate the ’Databases’ section.
På nästa vy enter du namnet på din nya database och klickar på knappen ”Create Database” för att fortsätta.
Din cPanel dashboard kommer nu att skapa den nya MySQL-databasen. Klicka på knappen ”Go Back” för att återgå till sidan Databases.
Därefter måste du add to ett användarnamn och password för databasen.
Rulla bara ner till ”MySQL Users” section och ange ett nytt användarnamn och password. Klicka på knappen ”Skapa användare” för att fortsätta.
Därefter måste du ge den här nyskapade användaren behörighet att arbeta i den database du skapade tidigare.
Rulla ner till sektionen ”Add user to database” (Lägg till användare i databasen). Välj ditt användarnamn för MySQL och välj sedan din nyskapade database.
Klicka på knappen ”Add” för att fortsätta.
Cpanel kommer nu att ge MySQL-användaren fullständiga behörigheter på din nyskapade database.
Steg 4: Installera WordPress
Nu när allt är på plats kan du gå vidare och installera WordPress.
Besök den directory du skapade tidigare i en web browser genom att skriva in URL:en så här:
http://example.com/your-subdirectory-name/
Då kommer du till installationsguiden för WordPress. Välj först språket för din website i WordPress och klicka på knappen ”Fortsätt”.
Därefter kommer du att bli ombedd att ange ditt WordPress-databasnamn, databasens användarnamn, lösenord och server.
Enter the database details and click on the ”Submit” button.
WordPress kommer nu att anslutas till din database.
När anslutningen är klar ser du ett ”success message” som gillar detta:
Klicka på knappen ”Run the install” för att fortsätta.
På nästa vy kommer du att bli ombedd att ange en Rubrik för din website och välja ett användarnamn, password och email address för admin.
När du har enter detaljerna för din website klickar du på knappen ”Run install” för att fortsätta.
WordPress kommer nu att konfigurera din website och visa dig ett success message:
Nu kan du logga in på din new website WordPress, som är installerad i subdirectory.
Step 5: Fixa permalänkar
Om du har en separat WordPress install i rotkatalogen kommer .htaccess-filerna i din subdirectory att orsaka konflikt. Detta kommer att resultera i 404 error på din website.
För att lösa detta måste du editera .htaccess-filen i din subdirectory WordPress install. Ersätt koden i din .htaccess-fil med följande kod:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /your-subdirectory/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /your-subdirectory/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Glöm inte att ersätta /your-subdirectory/ med namnet på din subdirectory.

Hi, I have created subdirectory using auto-installer feature in Hostinger for my News blog for creating a completely different site for different language. For example:- example.com/language. I am gonna post unique articles here.
I might also post the translated version here (Not ai translated though, I am gonna translate it myself). Does it affect SEO? Should I translate the some articles or leave it to google?
WPBeginner Support says
You would want to check with your SEO plugin to ensure the correct markup is added and it should not affect your SEO.

I have installed WordPress on the subdirectory. (i.e)www.example.com/blog) and now I created a test post (i.e.)www.example.com/blog/test. Is it possible to remove the subdirectory from the url? Looking something like this example.com/test (i.e)www. Rootsitename.com/Postname
WPBeginner Support says
If you want to do that then we do not have a specific recommendation to achieve that and it would likely be best to place the post on your primary domain to achieve that.

Jiří Vaněk says
This can be done using the .htaccess file, which is the Linux apache configuration file. It is possible to upload rules to this file, which can be used to rewrite URL addresses in the browser. However, it is a relatively complex topic and it is necessary to approach such an intervention sensitively.

I want to build a web with a wordpress subdirectory, the first web is domain.com, and the second web is domain.com/blog … as far as I know wordpress uses domain.com/blog as the default post … will it hurt SEO?

WordPress does not use /blog as a default, that is only the most common URL to use. Using blog for a subdirectory should not have a major effect on SEO.

What if the I created a new subdirectory from another subdirectory, should the fix permalink still be relevant and work with no problem?
For example, I have firstwebsite.com/firstsubdir/ the second subdirectory will be firstwebsite.com/firstsubdir/secsubdir/ should I still use the same fix for the permalink?
Sorry English is not my first language.
WPBeginner Support says
You would need to include the second subdirectory in the permalink change and it should still work.

Thanks for a clear tutorial.
Is it possible to install WP in a subdirectory but use the main domain URL to access it and still have the main URL displayed in the browser address bar?
To clarify:
I would install WP in mydomain.com/sub/ but would like to access it by opening mydomain.com and have mydomain.com displayed in the browser so that visitors can bookmark my URL.
Is it possible to set it up?

It is possible but would depend on your hosting provider to see if it is allowed. If you reach out to your hosting provider they should be able to assist.

Hi. I manually copied my WordPress files to the root folder, without the plugin. I then copied the original database in a new one, where I replaced the siteurl to reflect the new location, the root folder. In the wp-config file at the root folder, I changed WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL to remove the /wordpress.
As a result, I was able to reach the wp-login for my new location, but no further.
And when I visited my site, I was getting a warning ”too many redirections”.
Any advice?

Hi Team, Thanks for this post, not only these… all the other posts in your blog are very helpful to us, I really appreciate your works. Thanks a lot for these.
And need a little help, actually did the same as in this post, installed wordpress in a sub directory, but I’m face a little issue, i.e. I’m unable to receive the emails from contact form, when it was on sub-domain it’s working fine, but when it is installed on sub-directory not receiving the form submissions, it’s going on loading but not getting submitted. Please help me with this. Thank you.

If they’re not being stored in your site if they should when submitted you would want to reach out to your form plugin’s support. If you are not receiving an email then you would likely want to use SMTP: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-send-email-in-wordpress-using-the-gmail-smtp-server/

Just got it to work but little bit worried, does it increases my load time of both pages. I mean to say that
( currently I have made this on localhost for test but I am going to implement it in one or two days on my main server )
I have two website but single domain
Just want to know that does this will increase the bandwidth useage and load time.
Let’s suppose if I my main webpage size 1 mb and my second website size is also 1 mb so when someone load the main page does it loads all the 1+1 2mb size.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Owaiz,
Yes it will increase bandwidth usage depending on your traffic. Since both WordPress installs share the resources, traffic load on one website will affect the performance of other website as well.

Question: Login for main and subdirectory
Hi. I created a subdirectory with a separate WP install.
It looks like the user has to create an account for the main and subdirectory and to login for both the main and subdirectory.
Is there a way to let a user who has login to either the main or subdirectory site to have access to the other site without having to login again? i.e if user has login into main site, he/she does not need to login to the subdirectory site. and vice versa.
Thanks.

By default, if you are using softaculous, you are installing wordpress to the default directory named wp. You don’t need to install manually WordPress in a directory/ subdomain, you only need to change the name of the directory where you want Softaculous to install WordPress and it will also make a database and so on.
