Make install seem like its in Root (when its in subfolder)

  • It used to be easy, now since its been a while since i had a fresh install i can’t work it out.

    I’ve checked the codex and other (recent) blog posts and i don’t seem to be get ones that match my options. When i do find the place with install URL and sit URL i can’t seem to edit it and i don’t know why.

    Please help, happy to do a new install if i have to but would be good to know now not later. Thanks in advance.

    That could be because those are currently hard-coded in wp-config.php.

    Apart from that, here is how I have my Primary Domain in a sub-folder without having to add the sub-folder as part of the address in my browser bar:
    https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/347

    Thanks, but these steps is where i run into trouble

    In WordPress address (URL): set the address of your main WordPress core files. Example: https://example.com/wordpress
    In Site address (URL): set root directory’s URL. Example: https://example.com

    I just don’t have that as an option.

    Is that something i can just change and that will solve my problem? (plus changing .htaccess etc etc)
