How to change WordPress installed blog path?

3 Views

I have installed my WordPress blog site here, http://www.test.com.au/demo, now I want to change my root path to this http://www.test.com.au, but when I transfer all files to here, I can’t really access the site correctly.

I don’t know what is actual method to do this.

  1. You may need to do more than just transfer files. You will need to change a few database settings as well in wp_options. Do a select * from wp_options and see which settings are still pointing to your old location, then you can change those.

  4. I would follow @davidosomething’s list above.

    In the future, I would try this.

    • Install the site in a permanent directory like “admin”.
    • Test the site and get it setup the way you like.
    • When you are ready to go live, go into the admin settings area.
    • Keep wordpress address the same, and remove “admin” from site url.
    • Then copy your .htaccess file and index.php file into the root.

    • Open up copied index.php file, and delete “admin” from last line:

      require(‘./admin/wp-blog-header.php’);
