 * Guys, since i havent found any answer for months to my questions about scaling
   and stuff i decided to move.
 * I wanted to move a whole category to an other subfolder as a separete installation,
   but i dont want it to be too noticable…
 * I had this category: Event… the permalink url of this was [http://domain.com/event](http://domain.com/event)
 * I created a subfolder with the same name: event… put an index.php…
    Typed [http://domain.com/event](http://domain.com/event),
   got the index.php! Yes… so instead of wordpress starting up first, i reach the
   folder.
 * So i confidently copied all wordpress files to my new folder, also created an
   other database and imported all of the datas!
 * I modified the config file according to the new database name and the new username.
   When i type [http://domain.com/event/login.php](http://domain.com/event/login.php),
   i got the login screen. I type in everything, and get redirected to
 * [http://domain.com/wp-admin/](http://domain.com/wp-admin/)
 * instead of the subfolders wp-admin:
 * [http://domain.com/event/wp-admin/](http://domain.com/event/wp-admin/)
 * I thought its because the admin_url() or sg is still points to the old url. THe
   strange thing, i even got logged in to the old database.
 * What should i do?
    I need help badly, plase, deadlines comin… :S

 * Okay heres my progress:
 * I renamed the event folder to event 1 to avoid collision with the already existing
   category…
 * But this time ive got a not found page… so the question is:
 * How can i make wordpress to avoid the handling of a certain subfolder?

 * Okay now… I did a test.. changed the appearance of the 404 pages..
 * now when i try to reach sg indeed not existing stuff for example:
 * [http://domain.com/eventblablabla/](http://domain.com/eventblablabla/)
 * i get the ROOT wordpresses 404, and when i try to reach
 * [http://domain.com/event1/](http://domain.com/event1/)
 * i get the event1 404 page! It means the subwordpress engine takes over, yay!
 * I think maybe the problem is the sub wordpresses options are still the same as
   the cores… means it doesnt work with the event1 subfolder but wants to be in 
   the root!
 * I will try to modify the options in my database and report back.
