I’m almost ready to take my site update live!
Only a few loose ends on this support thread https://kriesi.at/support/topic/how-do-i-part-2/ and a few blog posts to write. I hope to launch no later than Sunday night.
When I’m ready to launch HOW DO I MOVE THE SITE OUT OF MY “TEST” SUBFOLDER???
Yikes. I’d really like to know :)
I’m using Updraft Plus to back up my site right now. My site is currently under the test folder. I wonder if installing WP on my root directory and then restoring there from an Updraft backup would be simpler?
Hey!
One easy way is to simply place an index.php in your / file containing the following:
<?php /** * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme. * * @package WordPress */ /** * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it. * * @var bool */ define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */ require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/test/wp-blog-header.php' );Then in Settings > General change the Site url accordingly:
Your WordPress install would still require to be accessed via /test/wp-admin but the site will display on /. More info:

JosueIf I do this will all my sub pages not include the /test directory?
Ex. Right now the coaching page is http://www.strengthinnumberscoaching.com/test/coaching. Will it (and others like it respectively) then be http://www.strengthinnumberscoaching.com/coaching if I do the above?
P.S. What do you think about my Updraft idea?
1. Correct, permalinks will reflect the new Site URL.
2. I’m not familiar with the plugin but it could work i think.Basically if you have a problem keeping your WP install under
/test/go with the backing-restoring method instead.Regards,
Josue
