WordPress installation subdirectories

  • I am surprised there isn’t a solid article on this topic.

    All I want to do is create a subdirectory on my hosting server, install a wordpress installation in the subdirectory.

    Then redirect a domain request without the subdirectory showing or needing to be in the domain url being entered.

    Example my blog is physically located in https://emotionmarketing.com.au/emotion/

    But I want the blog to show up when someone types https://emotionmarketing.com.au

    This way I can have a number of sub-directories for each wordpress blog, each having a separate domain and each blog does not show the sub-directory when people surf to each blog.

    So, basically, you’re after this?

    I have allready installed wordpress in a subdirectory so I don’t want to move it anywhere.

    I just don’t want the subdirectory to show in the URL.

    The wordpress has already been installed in https://emotionmarketng.com.au/emotion/

    I just want to get rid of the ?emotion/ at the end of the URL and leave the wordpress installation where it is in the subdirectory.

    I have done it once before but for the life of me can’t remember how I did it. I think it was something to do with HTACCESS

    There’s lots of articles about moving wordpress installations, installing them in the root and then transfering them to a subdirectory, multi sites using a single database.

    Though nothing about having multiple wordpress installations in subdirectories each having its own domain and with the subdirectories not showing up in the domain when loaded in a browser.

    Pretty simple really but I am yet to re-learn how to do it?

    I just don’t want the subdirectory to show in the URL.

    In that case, why not install WordPress in the root directory?

    Because I don’t want 16 wordpress installations in the root directory

    You mentioned earlier “each having a separate domain.”

    When not installed each instance of WordPress in the root of each separate domain?
