 * I am attempting to remove wp from my url using phpmyadmin. I followed the directions
   below and when I then try to open my site without /wp at the end. I get the following.
 * Index of /
    cgi-bin/ wp/ wp1/
 * I have done the following in phpmyadmin:
    1 Backup your database and save the
   copy off-site. 2 Login to phpMyAdmin. 3 Click the link to your Databases. 4 A
   list of your databases will appear. Choose the one that is your WordPress database.
   5 All the tables in your database will appear on the screen. 6 From the list,
   look for wp_options. Note: The table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed
   it when installing. 7 Click on the small icon indicated as Browse. 8 A screen
   will open with a list of the fields within the wp_options table. 9 Under the 
   field option_name, scroll down and look for siteurl. 10 Click the Edit Field 
   icon which usually is found at the far left at the beginning of the row. 11 The
   Edit Field window will appear. 12 In the input box for option_value, carefully
   change the URL information to the new address. 13 Verify this is correct and 
   click Go to save the information. 14 You should be returned to your wp_options
   table. 15 Look for the home field in the table and click Edit Field. Note There
   are several pages of tables inside wp_options. Look for the > symbol to page 
   through them. 16 In the input box for option_value, carefully change the URL 
   information to the new address. 17 Verify this is correct and click Go to save
   the information.

 * Do I understand right, that you are trying to change URL of your WP installation
   from [http://www.yourdomain.com/wp](http://www.yourdomain.com/wp) to [http://www.yourdomain.com](http://www.yourdomain.com)?
   
   If yes, you need to modify more than just database. See and follow [this tutorial](https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
