# Feature Request: Folder for Root Files

 * For future WordPress versions, I’d like to suggest that there’s a folder/directory
   called “wp-general” where the root files will be stored.
 * The reason for this is, when working in an FTP, it’s annoying to have all those
   files (that hardly anyone ever touches) just laying around taking up space. With
   a “wp-general” folder, it will create better organization and users will only
   see 4 main folders/directories: “wp-content”, “wp-admin”, “wp-includes”, and “
   wp-general”.
 * I hope this will be taken into consideration when developing the next version.
   Thanks.

 * Bump!
 * I vote for moving WordPress Core out of root directory ^^!

 * Not sure why the bump, but don’t you accomplish the same thing with [Giving WordPress Its Own Directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory)?

 * Sorry 🙁 , bump is for `wp-general`
 * I have read this codex article, but I meant “out of root web” for core application:`/`
   instead of public_html, www…
 * F.E:
 *     ```
       /
       	/applications/wordpress
       	/public_html/blog/
       ```
   
 * WordPress address (URL): `/home/myhost/applications/wordpress/`
    Blog address(
   URL): `http://myhost/blog/`
 * In this situation, the point is: think we would need a new param or something
   like this:
    Wordpress path (PATH): `/home/myhost/applications/wordpress/` (or
   ABSPATH from config) WordPress address (URL): `http://myhost/blog/` (i guess 
   for… static files, etc…) Blog address (URL): `http://blog.myhost/`
 * Well, just a small suggestion… 😉
 * S!
 * PD: Umm… actually I don’t know if it’s possible right now. I think about the 
   issues of ABSPATH out of `/www/`
