@totlda

Detailed instructions can be found here: Moving WordPress

Moving Directories On Your Existing Server

Some information on how to move files to and from your site: FTP Clients

Already read it but still can’t do it because and don’t have enough knowledge to do so.

if u dont know then hire someone for this , this type of job are done with some knowledge

If i knew i wouldnt be here asking rite?

Just please help me with step 8, i got it that far. I′m sure its not rocket science rite?

For step 8 you will need to learn how to use an ftp client, or the file manager already present in your hosts control panel. Please read FTP Clients. There is some good information there on how to transfer or move files on your web space.

The file manager in your control panel will probably seem familiar, in that it works much the same way as the windows desktop file explorer.

These are basic management tools you’re going to need to learn how to use. Your hosts user FAQ or support documentation should also contain instructions and tutorials on how to familiarize yourself with and use both FTP and the file manager features in your hosting account.

Thanks Clayton, i already had some experience with the file manager, i can access it and work on it pretty fine (i think) :).

The step 8 mentions the core files? what are they? and how o i move it, and were do i move it?

” Move your WordPress core files to the new location. This includes the files found within the original directory, such as https://example.com/wordpress, and all the sub-directories, to the new location. “

The instructions are almost self explanatory. Core files just means all of the WordPress files and folders in the directory where WordPress is currently installed. In your case, it sounds like you need to move the files out of the /wp folder, and into your public_html folder.

Please read the instructions very carefully. Steps taken out of order or left incomplete will lead to locking you out of the site.

Some additional info and instructions you should have. WordPress Backups

Thanks one more time clayton.

So i don’t need to create any folder inside public_html? Just copy all wp content and folders on to public_html?

I will backup thanks for the advice.

That’s correct. You’ve technically already created a folder named wp, and that’s where your files are currently installed. That makes the address yoursite.com/wp That’s what you’re trying to get rid of.

By moving the files from the wp folder directly into your root (your public_html) directory, you are removing the sub-directory “wp” from the path and the URL.

If done correctly, that will move your site to yoursite.com instead of yoursite.com/wp

Thanks a million, i did it…

Thanks man, if it wasn’t for guys like you (Clayton), there was no point getting this kind of support forums.

THANKS A MILLION:

You’re welcome! I’m glad it went smoothly the first time around!
