• I used the advice of my host (Heart) to move my site from (site)/blog to root (site). It works except that the media links are not working, and the permalinks still all refer to (site)/blog.
    The WordPress address is root (site) but the Site address URL is still (site)/blog

    The htaccess file shows:

    DirectoryIndex index.php
    RewriteEngine off
    SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 5
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /blog/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    That first line was put in by Heart to get it working!
    I think perhaps I should have set the site address as (site) before I moved the site files (if I read the Codex right).
    I have the plugin Better Search Replace ready to use, but I’m reluctant at present.

    Please can I have some advice!!
    Thanks
