Wordpress help: moving a blog

by tsgeric
2 replies
Hi,
I have WP set up in the root of //sitename.com.

I would like to move it to //sitename.com/blog.

Is doing this as simple as changing an option somewhere, or is this is a significant move of everything (e.g. database)? Can someone let me know how to do this or point me to a good tutorial?

    To simplify:

    1 - Copy all the files from //sitename.com
    2 - Create the new directory //sitename.com/blog
    3 - Paste the files there
    4 - Get a dump of the MySQL database with PHPMyAdmin
    5 - Open the database dump (.sql file) with a text editor
    6 - Replace all instances of sitename.com with sitename.com/blog and save it under a new name
    7 - Import the new .sql file, overwriting the original

    That should do the trick. You may need to rebuild your .htaccess file as well, just resave your permalink settings and that will happen automatically.
