Redirect Child Theme

    Hi all and thank you for this amazing community.
    I’m here to ask for your help with an issue I can’t solve.

    I have been asked to work on a preexistent wordpress website, finish it working with the client and then put it online.

    When I got the credentials I updated worpress to the last version and decided to change theme. I worked with the client and now the website is ready, except for the fact that it is in a child directory, and nothing I can try to redirect it on the main url will work:

    the website I am working on is this: https://www.manolasgarbi.it/wordpress/, and I want to make it reachable on https://www.manolasgarbi.it/

    What I’ve tried until now:

    – changing the “Website URL” on “General Settings”
    – changing the .htaccess file in the parent and in the child theme alternatively (I find a guide that told me to put it in root but I don’t have the authorization)
    – variously try to change the index.php (with no result)

    The .htaccess in root (I can’t change it but I can download it) says

    ErrorDocument 403 /__tmp/topweb.shtml
    AddHandler php5-script .php

    Could please somebody help me?

  • you will have to move the site out of the WordPress folder and into the root folder

    Hi HudsonValleyWebDesign,
    thanks for your support.
    Unfortunately this solution didn’t work either.
    I tried:
    creating a new subfolder called “parent” where I placed all that was there before and then moving the site out into the root folder, but this doesn’t work.
    Then I tried eliminating the “parent” subfolder and working on the .htaccess file.
    Something happened, but not quite what I was hoping for:

    now

    https://www.manolasgarbi.it/ give an internal server error, and

    https://www.manolasgarbi.it/wordpress/ does not load correctly image and contents.

    Do you have any idea of what happened? My impression is that the sql table is not connecting correctly the css and the image files. Does it make any sense?

    Thank you!

    ok, I tried it again, leaving in the root only the wordpress files as for a normal installation. Now it works just fine.
    Thank you for your help!
