It’s about finished tranfering file to sub directory. It doesn’t say to do that but I can see your point.

If it doesn’t work after i get to the bottom of the instructions at least I’ll now have an idea as to the reason why.

Thanks Root

Sorry didn’t refresh in time to see your advice.

It says to copy index.php and .htaccess back to original directory folder and alter a line in the code of index.php to show a link to the other files in the sub directory.

In the process of doing this now. If it doesn’t work correctly I’ll go back to the original setup.

many thanks

I’ve just printed off the details to move the files and VERY carefully following it to the letter. Have had a home page online for some months for SE recognition and never really looked into blogging. But just happen to read publish & prosper – blogging for your business (cover to cover) and I’m hooked.

As for more headaches, it can’t be any worse than the last 3 days have been.

I’ve now got off the ledge and closed the window so the pigeons can have their resting place back.

Many thanks for your reply FC

I don’t believe it but instead of putting WP into a subdirectory of my site I put it in the main directory. AND IT WORKS!!!!

The only problem is my website home page presently has just a welcome page and email sign up form prior to it going live. But it will now show the blog which I obviously don’t want it to until it’s ready.

Can I go through the installation process and then move it to a subdirectory so my welcome page can still be my homepage
