I'm thinking about doing some restructuring and was wondering if anyone had any experience with moving a wordpress install to a subdomain or category?

Like moving the wordpress install from www.domain.com to www.domain.com/blog/ or something similar. Is it possible to do this without having to do a fresh re-install in the new location?

yeah it is all you need to do is to shift files to root of your subdomain and than through WP admin panel update url & address

Yes, I've done it before. It's not that hard. However, just make sure the software is supportive enough and that the pages do not load slowly.

I've noticed that wordpress will auto redirect backlinks to updated category/post pages when altering them through the admin. Will this still work with a moved installation or will I need to go and try and update all backlinks by hand?

Simplest solution would be if wordpress would simply create something other than an index.php file or simply create the index.php file in a specified location so that the main domain /public_html/ index file could be something else.

Use the export function, setup the wordpress in the subdirectory, use the function import. I think you just need to change the path in the wordpress dash board once.

you can use a software call "wptwin" to clone and move the site into a subfolder.
