Trouble moving site

  • I’m having a lot of trouble moving my site from a sub-directory to the main site. My current address is https://www.sitename.com/wp

    I’ve followed the instructions here:
    https://askwpgirl.com/how-do-i-move-wordpress-from-a-subdirectory-to-the-root-directory/?doing_wp_cron=1329840508

    I’ve done this before without any problems but this time I can’t get it to work. The home page doesn’t show when I make these changes. In my httpdocs folder I’m uploading the modified version of the index.php file, but I’m just getting a blank page. I’ve tested by loading up a different, simple html file and that worked ok. Not sure where I’m going wrong.

    This is the line from the index.php file and looks fine to me:

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

    Any ideas?

    The only difference I’ve spotted is that the httpdocs folder contains a folder with the sitename on it. This isn’t the case on my other sites.

    I think this is due to that folder being specified in the “web hosting” section on my hosting package. I’ve changed that now to just be the root like my other sites, but still having the same problem.

    Is there something else I need to change?
