 * Hi,
    I’m a newbie… I installed WordPress at [http://mysite.com/wordpress/](http://mysite.com/wordpress/)
   My index.php page was also in [http://mysite.com/wordpress/](http://mysite.com/wordpress/)
   However, I want my blog home page to be [http://mysite.com/](http://mysite.com/)
   As per the instructions in the help section, I did the following: 1. Go to my
   Options page and changed my Blog address to be [http://mysite.com](http://mysite.com)
   2. Copied the index.php file from the wordpress directory into the root of my
   site. 3. Opened up my index.php file and change the line that says require(‘./
   wp-blog-header.php’); to be require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); However,
   now I find that in my Admin page, when I click on templates.php, it tells me 
   that it cannot find index.php. Did I do something wrong? Regards.

 * That’s a bug in templates.php. It doesn’t know to go looking in [http://mysite.com/](http://mysite.com/)
   for index.php rather than [http://mysite.com/wordpress/.](http://mysite.com/wordpress/.)
   This will be fixed in the next release.
