Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory not completely working

I never tried that – but the “Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory” talks about having the install files in example.com/wordpress and the index at example.com.

WordPress expects to find files in subdirectories relative to itself, if you have moved the index file to a completely different directory the configuration changes required may run deeper than the actions you have taken.

I have several blogs running in subdirectories and they are fine on the original install configuration.

Is there a reason why you need the setup you have outlined?

I’m just a picky bastard and want to keep my example.com/otherdirectory link ??

I’ll just set up a redirect and suck it up!

Thanks guys ??

…want to keep my example.com/otherdirectory link …

So, wouldn’t be the simplest way to move your WP install to the “otherdirectory”?

<I used to have the problem login in and intuitively I thought probably the reason was that wordpress couldn’t find the directory were it was installed simply because it wasn’t located there anylonger.>
The way I fixed it with: giving_wordpress_it’s_own_directory was just leaving it like: https://example.com/phpMyadmin/user/(which is already in the url that comes with phpMyadmin.)>
<Then in general options: WordPress.codex/giving wordpress it’s own directory/.>
<I also put all the .htdocs in that same directory called home,>
<And finally logged into word press, but not trough the admin panel.>
<Instead I used a software I got from sourceforge.net that
sorts an algorythm with an interface on Windows, though I can’t use it now because I got locked out of the wos.1.1.1>
<And that’s were my wordpress directory is.>
<I leave it to you guys who are the experts to figure out just what I did right (and/or) wrong.>

@allenavila,
stick to your thread – what you describe has nothing to do with the Original Post (OP) here. And it’s a nonsense on its own ??

May I ask you to stop putting < and > around your sentences.

I kind of have the same problem, I move the site to its own directory, now all the images are gone and the pages I created, do I need to edit any thing in the SQL to get it back to normal ?

TT

Well I got all the text stuff working, it didn’t like a HTML index file in the same DIR as the index.php file, strange, it was a splash screen, any way how do I get the images back, the address was wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/06/palm.jpg

I now need it to be
wp-content/uploads/2006/06/palm.jpg
were do I edit please.

TT

TT, if the links to the images in your earlier posts point to
wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/06/palm.jpg
and now you need it without the dirname… that’s, unfortunately, in the database. You either edit the links manually, or you can ask around: maybe a good soul will help you with a MySQL query to change those links.
