Removing "WordPress" as sub-domain

  • I installed WordPress using Blue Hosts quick install. I think I must have selected the wrong option since the URL of my web site has “WordPress” as a sub-domain (www/Domain/Wordpress/). I want to remove the “WordPress” from the URL and I have not been able to find a way to do this.

    Can I uninstall WP and reinstall it so that it installs correctly?

    I installed a second copy of wordpress in a second data base/domain and it is working correctly so I think I must have selected the wrong option when I initially installed WP.

    Thank You

  • You could reinstall (meaning DROP the tables and delete the wordpress folder) then install the files in the web-root folder.

    Another option to make WordPress available at https://mydomain.com in Settings->General, change the Site address (URL) to https://mydomain.com and put this index.php file in your web-root folder (it is the same folder that contains the wordpress folder)

    <?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

    Then update your permalinks by visiting Administration > Settings > Permalinks and clicking on Save Changes.
