 * Hi, I have been having some problems with redirection. My wordpress files are
   in mydomain.com/blog folder and I have been using the blog adress also as mydomain.
   com/blog, but now I want to move the address to the root, just mydomain.com/ 
   however even tough I change the “Blog address (URL): mydomain.com/” when I enter
   an address like “mydomain.com/blog/category/test” this address is not directed
   to “mydomain.com/category/test” and throws a 404 error.
 * I have copied index.php and .htaccess from blog folder to the root as it says
   in [http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory)
   
   And my .htaccess is like the following:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /blog/
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
   
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.buyruk.net$ [OR]
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.blog.buyruk.net$
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://buyruk.net [R=301,L]
       ```
   
 * How can I solve this problem?
