Giving WordPress its Own Directory While Leaving Your Blog in the
Root Directory
Many people want WordPress to power their site's root (e.g.
http://example.com) but they don't want all of the WordPress files
cluttering up their root directory. WordPress allows you to install the
WordPress files to a subdirectory, but have your blog exist in the site
root.
The process to move WordPress into its own directory is as follows:
- Create the new location for the core WordPress files to be
stored (we will use /wordpress in our examples).
- Go to the
Options panel.
- In the box for WordPress address (URL): change the
address to the new location of your main WordPress core files.
Example: http://example.com/wordpress
- In the box for Blog address (URL): change the address to
the root directory's URL. Example: http://example.com
- Click Update Options.
- Move your WordPress core files to the new location (WordPress
address).
- Copy the index.php and .htaccess files from
the WordPress directory into the root directory of your site (Blog
address).
- Open your root directory's index.php file in a
text editor
- Change the following and save the file. Change the line that
says:
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
to the following, using your directory name for the WordPress core
files:
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
- Login to the new location. It might now be http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/
- If you have set up
Permalinks, go to the
Permalinks panel and update your Permalink structure. WordPress
will automatically update your .htaccess file if it has the
appropriate file permissions. If WordPress can't write to your .htaccess
file, it will display the new rewrite rules to you, which you should
manually copy into your .htaccess file (in the same
directory as the main index.php file.)
