Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments.

I don’t think I was clear, however, in what I’m trying to do.

The instructions Sam sent were useful if I want https://www.example.com/blogsoftware/myblog/wordpress to house my core docs while I want viewers to go directly to https://www.example.com.

But I’m trying to place the core files outside of my public_html directory altogether. On my webhost, I have access to a level above public_html. Anything in that level above is available only to me. So, I have placed my Drupal core docs there (in a folder called /home/xxx/drupal/ All of the core docs are there.

There is also a subfolder in /home/xxx/ called public_html, where all my website docs are. This is completely accessible by the public.

With my Drupal install, I have symlinks connecting files in the private folders to folders in the public directory. This way, you the viewer can access my website, but it makes it that much harder to hack because all the core docs aren’t in the public side…only links to those docs appear in the public side.

I am tying to do something like this with each of my installs of WordPress (I am aware that right now, I can’t run multiple blogs off one install–although if I can figure out how to do this type of install, I might look into WordPress MU.

Does this clear up what I’m trying to accomplish?

Thanks again everyone.

Hello again.

Does this mean no one knows how to do this? I hope there is someone out there that has created a set of instructions to do something like this.

Then again, perhaps it’s not even possible.

I actually had the same question. I have a static page on the root site, but I want a link that says something like “Click here for the blog” and it will take you to the posts…how do I do that?

Thanks.

Thanks Root. I guess I need to rethink how I’m going to do this. I assume by accessibility, you mean 508 compliancy? I never thought about that, but yea, I’d like to be as compliant as I can…no reason not to be.

Have I stumped the gurus? ??

Seriously, is there anyone out there who can help me or at least point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much.
