How To Build A Poker Web Site

Alright, now let’s say that you installed your WordPress blog to yoursite.com/funny/ but you want your blog to show up on yoursite.com. Once again this is a fairly simple process. This time, however, you’re actually going to have to make some changes outside of WordPress to do this. Log into your hosting account (Hostgator, IX Web Hosting, Powweb, Ipower, Godaddy, etc) and look for something labeled “File Manager.”

Click on “File Manager” which will now bring you into a list of files. We’ll assume you only have 1 domain name for this walkthrough. Depending on your hosting company the first file name you’ll have to click on will be one of the following – The name of your website (yoursite.com), public_html if you’re using Ipower or Hostgator or htdocs if you’re using Powweb. Once you’ve clicked on that you’ll see some files and folders. Click on the folder that is named for your directory. In the case of the walkthrough we’re looking for the file folder “funny.” (yoursite.com/funny/)

Now locate the index.php file. Download this file to your computer. You should be able to download it simply by clicking on it then clicking “Download” or checking the box then clicking the “Download” button. Once the file has been saved to your computer open it up with Notepad.

Look for the section of code that is highlighted above. This is the only thing you will be changing. Where it says (‘./wp-blog-header.php’) you want to change that to the location of your WordPress blog. In this example you would change it to read (‘./funny/wp-blog-header.php’) Now save your file in notepad. You are now going to upload this file to your root directory. Your root directory is the first thing you see after clicking on public_html, htdocs, or yoursite.com. Once that file is uploaded you want to go back into your WordPress Dashboard.

Scroll down to “Settings” then click on “General.”

You will see a section labeled “Blog address (URL).” You want to delete /funny/ from this section so it looks similar to the above picture. Now scroll down to the bottom and click save. Your blog can now be found at yoursite.com.
