site URL change – all ok but homepage?

  • Hello,
    I have a instance of wordpress 3.5.1 installed in a subfolder “website” on the server. I’m trying to follow the how-tos on making the URL people use/see just the domain name and not include the sub directory in the URL. All my pages are currently working, images display fine, but the homepage gives me a ‘page not found’ error. For the life of me I cannot resolve this issue.

    I’ve tried adding statements to the config.php file, I’ve looked at the .htaccess files, etc. Nothing seems to get it to work… When visiting the homepage, it automatically adds the subfolder name to the path of the url.

    Any help to point me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Well the host provider of this client is Network Solutions and they apparently force you to install wordpress into a subfolder…. I’ve never experienced this before with another host provider. I walked through the process a little bit, and noticed that there’s a checkbox for “make this install your homepage”…. that must be what’s causing my problem – that was checked when WP was installed and now there’s something forcing it to that subfolder.

    I haven’t set up a site on NS yet. That could be the problem.
