Question

I have created a self-hosted wordpress blog and on my ftp server everything is under

     /public_html/wordpress/.. 
         then you have /wp-admin and /wp-content etc..

but when I got to my website the theme doesn’t show up, it only shows a white page with

    www.******.co.cc  

    " index of
    /wordpress"

I figured out the wordpress blog has installed its own directory so if I want to see my website I need to enter that directory first. So I tried to type

   www.*******.co.cc/wordpress/

and it worked my website is all here.

BUT ! I don’t wanna have people to type www.**.co.cc/wordpress/ since the site was originially known without adding /wordpress at the end.

If I move all my wordpress folders under the root

   /public_html .. will it work ??

Answer 1

See http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory to move the site to root.

After the move, if all you see is “index of…”, add

DirectoryIndex index.php

at the top of .htaccess
