 * Sorry the link to the page I need help with is on my local computer under xampp
   and bitnami wordpress.
 * My hosts file contains this:
    127.0.0.1 mysite.me
 * and httpd-vhosts.conf contains this:
    <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mysite.me
   ServerAlias [http://www.mysite.me](http://www.mysite.me) DocumentRoot “C:/xampp/
   apps/wordpress/htdocs”
 *  Include “C:/xampp/apps/wordpress/conf/httpd-app.conf”
    </VirtualHost>
 * When I enter the local domain name in a browser, mysite.me changes to mysite.
   me/wordpress/ where I see the frontend of my wordpress installation. This doesn’t
   make sense to me, since the root of WordPress is at htdocs
 * How can I get rid of /wordpress/ in the URL?

 * Sorry, I figured it out myself:
    In wp-config.php I removed wordpress from the
   path like this: define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘[http://&#8217](http://&#8217); . $_SERVER[‘
   HTTP_HOST’] . ‘/’); define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘[http://&#8217](http://&#8217); . $_SERVER[‘
   HTTP_HOST’] . ‘/’);
