a simple query about file moving

[hubbard]

hi guys,

i want to move my blog from
mysite dot com/blog

to mysite dot com

ie from a subdirectory to the root.
If its quite a big directory, how is the best way to move it, is it trickY? do i use the built in ftp with my hosting company, or what?

sorry for the dumb question...

Not at all dumb, as there are a number of ways of doing it.

You could move the files on the server, download the files and reupload, or you might be able to change the site configuration such that mysite dot com serves files from the directory that contains the blog.

It will depend on your hosting setup and what facilities you have available. Have you asked your hosts?

P**f easy :

look for index.php

Change require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
to :
require('./wp-blog-header.php');

*assuming your wordpress is in a folder called wordpress

PS: You'll need to copy index.php to your root - you don't need to move anything else.
Note also that if you already have an index file in the root you will need to remove this in order for your blog to show in the root of the domain :)

You could probably use htaccess too.

In you web host panel, move the files.
