• Hi there,
    This is my first post, and im not IT savvy, so please go easy with me.

    I’ve recently set up my website https://www.confusedcanines.co.cc and have gone with wordpress as being the most intuitive for my needs. I installed wordpress into a sub-folder from root (called wp).

    I read about changing the default URL by dropping the .htaccess file and index.php in the root directory (which I have done). While doing this, I had a look inside the .htaccess file, and noticed that while there was some blurb there, it didnt seem to limit access to any part of site? I dont get any warning or error messages on my dashboard, so do I need to add something in here? I feel like I’m vulnerable to outside attack?

    Any advice?
    Contents of .htaccess:

    # -FrontPage-

    IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

    <Limit GET POST>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
    </Limit>
    <Limit PUT DELETE>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    </Limit>
    AuthName confusedcanines.co.cc
    AuthUserFile /home/confused/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
    AuthGroupFile /home/confused/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

    # BEGIN WordPress

    # END WordPress

  • I think there’s a easier way to change the url. Go to:

    > your_domain/subfolder/wp-admin/edit.php
    > Settings (lower left of page)
    > General Settings
    > Blog address (URL) and change it there

    i believe you can do it there. forget the .htaccess
