Thanks! I was busting my brain trying to get that to work! Can any other host or domain manager point to a directory like that?

Thanks,

Pamela B.

Wow! Thanks digibucc! I am feeling every bit of my “Dumb-blondness” now ;)I get my domains from a different place than my host. I went online with them and changed the name servers to my new host (bluehost) and that works okay, but you are telling me I can call the other company and they can point to a specific file at my host?

Please let me know if I have that correct.

Thanks so much!

Giving up! What I was hoping to accomplish here is the following. I created the example above because I actually did this with a site I was building for a friend: I built a live site in the following directory on my server: americanphotopro.com/public_html/oguin

Once I got the site done I wanted to move it to a new domain I purchased: https://www.floridaportraits.com

Since I used a program called “Builder” I couldn’t easily copy and paste everything or use the wordpress ‘export’ feature. So I wanted to ‘redirect’ from https://www.floridaportraits.com to the directory where I created the WordPress site. I tried all of your suggestions and more. I still cant get it to work. I either get the error mentioned earlier or I get to a perfectly blank white page.

I’d still like to get there if anyone things they have the answer. Thanks so much to Digibucc for all your ideas.

Digibucc,

You are correct on the server directory. My site is Americanphotopro.com. Floridaportraits.com is a subdomain of americanphotopro.com. I own both domains.

I have Floridaportraits.com set up as a subdomain in the public_html of https://www.americanphotopro.com

Yes, the WordPress files are all in the oguin directory.

How do I “set Floridaportraits.com to point to the oguin directory?”
I thought that is what the index.php file was doing?

Thanks again,

Pamela B.

Digibucc,

The file structure where the current wordpress site resides is americanphotopro.com/public_html/oguin. (Yes I know I messed up when I created another file named public_html file within the file structure) from this can you tell me how the index.php should read instead of: (./public_html/oguin/wp-blog-header.php)?

Thanks so much for your help ??

Pamela

I still cant make this work. This is the error I am getting:
Warning: require(./public_html/oguin/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home7/ameridr9/public_html/floridaportraits/index.php on line 17

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./public_html/oguin/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/lib/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /home7/ameridr9/public_html/floridaportraits/index.php on line 17

Anything else anyone can suggest?

Thanks,

Pamela

Thanks Digibucc & Samual. When it says move the “Core” files in the guide, can you tell me what those are? Is 644 what the permissions should be set to so the htaccess files can be writable? Floridaportraits.com is a sub-domain and not my root. Would that make a difference?

esmi,

That is one spooky avatar and you are one smart cookie!

Bless you!

Thank you so much! Wow! I was not going to figure that out on my own.
You rock!

Here is my header.php

This is my website.

I want to keep the header image from displaying on my “Gallery” page.

Jeff

Anyone else have any ideas?

I am thoroughly confused.
Everything I try brings down the entire site.
Jeff

Does this happen in all browsers?

Elizool99,

Sorry Eli. I am not as smart as you. I really need it spelled out for me with the actual code. As I said in my first post I really need the hand holding. I need to know the exact code to write and where to place it in the header.php

Thanks for your patience,

Jeff

Elizool99,

You peeked while I was experimenting. Unfortunately I still cant get it working. I restored my site. It’s back up.

What I don’t understand is what to write in the header.php. My page id=10.

Can you tell me what to write and where to place it?

Thanks so much.

Jeff

Here is the page I am working on. If you click on any of the gallery images below the header they will pop up behind the header image when viewed in IE. Grrrr!

Jeff

Elizool99,

You lost me already.

I know my page #.
I vaguely understand what you are talking about.
Can you give me the code and where I would write it in the header.php?

Thanks so much for responding so quickly.

Jeff
