Moving WP to subdir and accessing root folders

    Hello! I hope everyone’s doing well!

    My WP site is installed in my root directory in the /public_html folder.

    I saw that moving it into a subdirectory is very simple as per this article (Method I)! 😊 And I would like to do so since the WP files tend to clutter things up quite a lot.

    My question is the following: If I have other folders in the /public_html (root) folder, how will I be able to access them?

    For example, if I put WP in a subdirectory such as the /public_html/wp folder, and decide to redirect my domain there (http://www.example.com will lead straight to /public_html/wp), then will I be able to access folders such as /public_html/gallery ? With what URL structure?

    Thank you!
    – Gaurav.

    You would need to update the parameters in your .htaccess, or your httpd.conf file

    What do you mean they clutter things up?
    You should only be concerned with the files and folders under the /wp-content/ folder.
    All other files core files that should never be touched.

    Sorry, but this is a terrible idea.
    Please do not do this unless you want to be spending your time managing errors, and troubleshooting all the time.
