Softaculous

Topic : Changing the URL of Wordpress install

Posted By: maddynz on July 19, 2012, 10:19 am

Hi, I installed wordpress with softaculous to the defalt location \wp so the wordpress blog can be seen on mydomain.com\wp.

Now that the blog design is complete I want to move it to mydomain.com

The old website is currently showing at mydomain.com

How do I move the entire site? Can I just edit the details via the softaculous panel? I have created a backup from here but my IT knowledge is pretty poor - the wordpress instructions are confusing.... Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You can move the files from public_html/wp to public_html/
then make the changes i.e. URLs and paths in the config file and the database. For eg: $home/public_html/wp to $home/public_html/ and http://mydomain.com/wp to http://mydomain.com

and then edit the installation details in Softaculous. Go to Softaculous Enduser panel -> All Installations and click on the "Edit Installation" icon corresponding to your installation.
