• Hi,

    I uploaded and launched a WP site live after working in local. i would like to keep the majority of the files in the wordpress directory. I found some instructions on moving a site from a subdomain to root, but it’s not working quite right. When you loginto http://www.brlconsulting.com it will redirect to http://www.brlconsulting.com/wordpress/. I left the general settings for WP and site address at http://www.brlconsulting.com/wordpress. If I remove the /wordpress everything is broken (styles functionality etc) and a page not found error is thrown.

    I copied the .htaccess and index.php from the /wordpress directory into the root per instructions. In my index.php file I changed this part

    /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

    my .htaccess file at the root level is as follows:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    I think I must be missing something.Can anyone fill in the missing piece?
