 * Hi. I have many sites installed in subfolders. I redirect from the root using
   javascript window.location.
 * From a seo perspective:
 * 1-Should I replace that with the method of moving the index.php and htaccess 
   file to the root?
 * 2- And does it matter if the sitemap is in the subfolder (registered as is in
   webmaster tools)
 * Thanks

 * You should use htaccess to redirect with 301 redirect code, It’s good for seo.
