If you have used softaclous to install your new WordPress site and forgot to remove the default value in the directory field, your website would be installed in a subdirectory called “wp” instead of your main domain. this means you will have to go to your-domain.com\/wp <\/strong>to access your website instead of your-domain.com <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to fix this, you will have to Rename your website’s URL and move the content to the main directory. below I will show you how to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 1: Rename URL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In your WordPress dashboard Go to Settings > General<\/strong> and remove the wp subdirectory from the end of the URL for both the WordPress Address and Site Address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure you dont have a trailing slace ( \/ ) at the end <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Move Your Files To the main Directory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now you will need to MOVE all of the WordPress files from the wp subdirectory up one level to public_html folder\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Login to your Cpanel and open the File Manager. Navigate to Public_html > wp Directory <\/li>
  • Click on “Select All”<\/strong><\/li>
  • Click on “Move”<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    • Remove the “\/wp” at the end of the directory field<\/li>
    • Click “Move File(s)”<\/strong> <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Resave Permalink Structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Log in to WordPress by going to your-domain.com\/wp-admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Go to Settings > Permalinks<\/strong> and click “Save Changes<\/strong>“. This will rewrite your .htaccess file to remove the subdirectory from the page URLs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      That is it, now you should be able to access your site Directly using your Domain name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
