How to hide parent folder name from url in a wordpress site?

2 Views

We have installed our wordpress into a sub directory in root folder. like this 

http://www.domainname.com/wp/wp-login.php

How can we hide wp form the url so that it looks like wordpress is installed on root folder.
We tried to put only the index.php file from wp directory to root folder and change the include paths and it didnt worked. I have no experience in htaccess. So if anyone can help me in this. Thanks in advance.

  1. RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}     !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}     !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)           /index.php [QSA]

    I haven’t tested it, but something like this should work. But WordPress manages it’s own .htaccess and I think it will cause some problems when you want to use SEO friendly URLs.
