There was no easy answer and in the end a developer helped me. We deleted the WP multisite installation and reinstalled a single WP site, at his suggestion. By reinstalling we could start afresh with the originally intended title. I wish there had been a simpler answer – but there you have it, and brings this topic to – well not exactly resolved – but a conclusion. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Remove /wp/ from the url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wp-from-the-url/) * Thread Starter [warringtonscott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/warringtonscott/) * (@warringtonscott) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wp-from-the-url/#post-3874495) * Hi and thanks for thoughts and help so far, * I’m beginning to see that maybe it’s because this site is part of a WP multisite that we have these problems – not being able to change URL in General Settings. * I was pointed towards this page [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL) and from there some directions to resolve this issues for a multisite [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Multisite](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Multisite) but it does not look nice to do! * Q: As the site is hardly started do you think it would be simpler to reinstall WP with the original basic URL? – pencilkit.co.uk * Thank you in anticipation, ws * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Remove /wp/ from the url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wp-from-the-url/) * Thread Starter [warringtonscott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/warringtonscott/) * (@warringtonscott) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wp-from-the-url/#post-3874454) * Esmi, Sorry – a role management plugin?

We certainly didn’t meddle with anything we shouldn’t have (too stupid!) I had tried myself earlier but it would not fully install. * I think it was uploaded through [softaculous.com](http://www.softaculous.com/) I believe as part of [5quidhost.co.uk](http://www.5quidhost.co.uk/) Hope this sheds some light, Many thanks, ws * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Remove /wp/ from the url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wp-from-the-url/) * Thread Starter [warringtonscott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/warringtonscott/) * (@warringtonscott) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-wp-from-the-url/#post-3874372) * Hi esmi, With thanks, * Here is a screenshot I’ve posted on dougiescott.com of pencilkit’s general settings page [http://dougiescott.com/](http://dougiescott.com/) * I can see editable settings in the dougiescott general settings, so I know where they ideally should be.

I feel I can’t do anything until I resolve this step. * Thanks for any help, ws. Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total)
