    That sounds like good advice.

    Being inexperienced now, the thought of tons of files in root getting out of
    control sounds scary but I think you’re right after gaining some experience and confidence I shouldn’t have any problems.

    The additional layer and click is a good point as well.

    I think you just changed my mind. lol

    Thanks again, I appreciate your responses and taking the time to help!

    Ok,

    Thanks, I understand much better now why the php option is better.

    What is your opinion of the root vs sub-directory issue for WordPress install?

    Any benefits to the root version that outweigh the organizational benefits of sub-directories?

    If it’s just cosmetic that’s fine, but if there are SEO and/or linking benefits then I’d prefer to know now while in planning stage.

    Thank You

    Hi,

    Thanks for answering.

    Well, after searching around the web on articles and forums, it seemed
    a good idea to use a subdirectory for keeping the root directory clean and uncluttered.

    I’m not sure about search engine results. If my home page were sitename.com/wp then I would use that to build links to as well as to inner pages with that same structure so I don’t think that would be an issue.

    Of course if I built a ton of links to the naked home page without the /wp that would be somewhat of a waste as a single stand alone page.

    I tried that code and it works great (thanks!) but I don’t see the difference between that and the 301 redirect I already tried which does the same thing just as efficiently.

    Can you explain the benefits of one over the other?

    Thank You
