I have a wordpress site that is currently running in a subdirectory of my website, basically put my structure is as follows:
root/wp
I’d like to keep the wordpress wp folder in the same place however have it load the wordpress site directly from the root url.
For instance currently the site loads when I go to www.mysite.com/wp however I’d like to have the wordpress site load when I simply go to www.mysite.com – currently if I go to www.mysite.com it simply loads an 500 Internal Server Error message.
I would expect I’d need to make some changes to the htaccess files – can anyone suggest how this would be done
So in a nutshell
When I go to www.mysite.com – it looks at the /wp folder but still appears as www.mysite.com in the address bar.
Adding these lines to .htaccess should do the job (not tested, sorry, it may not be sufficient):
