NEED HELP: Change application site to main site (domain.org/wordpress to domain.org)

[JGP1279]

Hello,
I am in the process of rebuilding a site for someone. I am completely new to this minus some reading. I chose Wordpress due to its ease. I have created the new site within the host, but when I created it, it was named domain.org/wordpress. I cannot figure out how to either forward it to that extension or remove the extension and make it the primary site. When I went through the forwarding information I found on the web, Plesk gave me a notification stating that if I change the hosting parameters the installed applications (Wordpress) would no longer work. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Justin

Hi,

You will have to make a couple of changes in the wp-config.php file to add the derivatives. The one I am mentioning in about is as below:

----------------
define('WP_HOME','http://<domainname>');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://<domainname>');
----------------
You can refer to the below link for more of those information.

OR

If document root is not going to bother you and that you are not going to use the document space outside the Wordpress directory, then you may try changing the document root of this domain to the path where you have installed the Wordpress.
