    I’m a new WP user since yesterday – downloaded, installed fine, customised site and added a few goodies – all gone well. Until!!!
    Well I installed it allat friday-fun.com/wordpress but wanted to move it to the root directory. In the SETTINGS area I deleted the /wordpress bit thinking that was how I did it but no! Now I can’t get back in to get it back to how it was.
    Am I stuffed?
    any help to get abck in welcome and also – how do I actually move it from /wordpress to the root of my site?
    thanks,
    Mike

  • I guess you have changed the permalinks from http://friday-fun.com/wordpress to http://friday-fun.com/

    To easily fix this, please edit the wp-config.php file in ‘wordpress’ subfolder and add the following lines of code to it:

    define('WP_HOME','http://friday-fun.com/wordpress');
    define('WP_SITEURL','http://friday-fun.com/wordpress');

    This action will get it back as it was, and you should be able to access admin panel at http://friday-fun.com/wordpress/wp-admin

    When you’ll finish working on your site and want it to be accessible at http://friday-fun.com/, simply move the files from ‘wordpress’ subfolder directly to your public_html directory.

    If there are any existing files in public_html directory, do a backup then remove them. This is just for the WordPress instance files to not interfere with other files.

    The final step is to edit the wp-config.php file and to remove the following lines of code:

    define('WP_HOME','http://friday-fun.com/wordpress');
    define('WP_SITEURL','http://friday-fun.com/wordpress');

    In this way, the site will be reachable at http://friday-fun.com/.

    Hope this helps Mike!

    Thank you – adding “www” to the lines you suggested and inserting them all worked fine. Needed the www for some reason.

    One other quickie, the video I used to get to grips with all this says the social icons are acessible via Appeareance -> Themes -> Theme Options but in this release they are not there and I can’t find them anywhere 🙂

    any idea hwo I find them and add them?
    thanks
    Mike

    That really depends on the theme’s features. It’s hard for me to advise. Why not using a plugin instead? Visit https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/ and just search for ‘Social media’.
