Need some help with url redirect.

I’m not sure if this is the right section to post this, but my problem is I installed wordpress in a subfolder of my url. I now would like to redirect my main url (www.mysite.com) to use (www.mysite.com/folder) as my main url. Since I do not know how to move my site from the subfolder to the root.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

<meta content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html" http-equiv="REFRESH" />

i would say this could do the job. set it between the with a new index.html,

Redirect /wordpress/index.php http://www.yourdomain.com

Probably best to give moving it a try if it’s something you want more permanent…

else, use a .htaccess file…

hope that helps…

You could use .htaccess

Create a .htaccess file in your root (www.mysite.com) if you don’t have one already and add the following:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index.(.*)?$ http://domain.com/subfolder/ [r=301]

Obviously, replace domain.com/subfolder with your own.

Note this is a 301 permanent redirect with htaccess – I don’t really know for sure, but it might impact your seo later on if you want to stop using the subfolder…
