How To Move WP from domain.com to domain.com/blog?
-
Hello everyone!
Thank you for reading / responding.
I’m new here and have had a WordPress Blog on my server for several months. I actually had it set up with plug-ins and a bunch of extras for me, then it was handed over to me to manage. I am now out of touch with the people who set it up and not able to go to them for help.
I searched the forums for previous posts to answer my question but I haven’t found specifically what I need. My apologies if it’s already been answered.
Onward.
Quick background: I’m in financial services and get people out of debt. I’ve developed educational articles, a book, audios and video, plus debt analysis tools, budgeting guides etc. I created the “Freedom Debt Relief Guide” that I provide for free to those who “opt-in” to my list.
OK, I set up my blog and have a few posts, however, all of these posts serve the purpose of generating traffic to opt-in to my list.
This is WordPress version 2.5.1.
My main domain name is debtgotoguy.com.
Originally I set up WP on my root and my blog displayed as my home page. Everything worked great.
I realized that I need my home page, however, to be my opt-in page, NOT my blog home page, so that I can capture subscribers / opt-ins when I get direct hits, etc.
So I changed my “Blog address (URL)” in WP Admin “Settings” from https://debtgotoguy.com/ to https://debtgotoguy.com/blog.
I uploaded a new home page (my opt-in page) “index.php” to my root and now my opt-in page displays on https://debtgotoguy.com/ as I wanted it.
The problem is, now I cannot access my blog, anywhere. I actually didn’t even have a directory in place for https://debtgotoguy.com/blog. I realize I made a mistake now.
I need to know how I can keep my home page for https://debtgotoguy.com/ as it is but get my blog to show up and function at https://debtgotoguy.com/blog.
How can I do this?
Thank you for any guidance and help : )
