We have www.something.com domain registered and DNS is managed by AWS. The main domain is a Django App hosted on EC2.
coolthing.something.com is a WordPress application (Lightsail instance)
What we want to do is to move our Wordpress from the subdomain to a subfolder.
Meaning coolthing.something.com -> www.something.com/coolthing
Do you guys know any shortcuts other than implementing reverse proxy using httpd config to assign Lightsail instance's IP address to www.something.com/coolthing ?
We do not want to touch our main instance also prefer not to use Cloudflare(unless there is no other way)
Thanks in advance for your tips.
Will appreciate having your comments, if you have done such a thing previously.
There should be no problem moving WordPress install to subfolder you will just need to update "site url" and "home url" in wp_options table, please screenshots below:

So I have set up my static website via S3 and have attached it to my domain example.com.
Then, I have launched a separate wordpress blog via Elastic Beanstalk, let's say exampleblog.us-west-2.elasticbeanstalk.com.
I have already configured my CNAME settings in Route 53 such that blog.example.com maps to my elastic beanstalk site (exampleblog.us-west-2.elasticbeanstalk.com), except, once I start clicking around on the blog itself, the URLs all become exampleblog.us-west-2.elasticbeanstalk.com/NAME-OF-PAGE
How do I get a complete subdomain redirect? i.e., I want all of the pages in my blog to be in the form blog.example.com/NAME-OF-PAGE
Thanks!
Okay -- I have actually figured this out myself so just will share in case anyone else has the same question:
It's really simple - You just need to access Wordpress > Settings > General and then update your site address (URL) to your subdomain (in my case, blog.example.com).
Boom!
I have a Wordpress website http://dominio.com which should be available via a subdomain (nome.dominio.com). All files are stored in a subfolder dominio.com/file of my main domain.
Server administration of my VPS is done using Vesta C Panel.
Could you please give me some help?
I thank's advance
If you want to run the website on a subdomain, I would recommend to create the subdomain via the Cpanel, then to install or move the WordPress to the main subdomain directory.
perhaps I've written bad!
I wanted to say that now I have a Wordpress website (dominio.com)
Using VPS Server with Vesta CPanel
I should point to a sub domain (nome.dominio.com) to a subfolder (dominio.com/cartella)
Forgive me for the mistake, unfortunately I use the translator I do not write English well.
thanks for a new response.
You have to create the sub-domain and point that sub-domain path to your subdirectory (dominio.com/file). And from wordpress database change the URLs. That's it.

I'm pretty new to the Plesk AdminPanel. I own a Domain called riggiramone.ch. For a friend's project I'm trying to set Wordpress up on the subdomain mugi.riggiramone.ch. I did set up the subdomain and made it point at a subfolder of httpdocs (httpdocs/mugi). Then I have installes wordpress via the Plesk-own tool there.
My problem is that the subdomain mugi.riggiramone.ch is not reachable! I don't know why, I checked all the permissions.
Is there anything I did forget?
I think you are using external DNS server and due to that you are getting this issue. I will suggest you please check your main domain DNS zone and update the correct "A" record for your sun-domain and once you update it correctly you will not get any issues with your sub-domain.
How do we point existing domain to wordpress MU site on another server? Here's the setup.
Server A has WPMU installed, with network setup of subfolders. www.wpmuinstall.com/site1
Server B has a domain hosted on it.. www.clientdomain.com
We want to point www.clientdomain.com from ServerB to ServerA www.wpmuinstall.com/site123
If above is not possible, we can switch to site1.wpmuinstall.com but then how do we point this site1.wpmuinstall.com to the siteid1 ? We have the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin installed but the WPMU is still setup as subfolders.
Please advise on how to accomplish client domain pointing to our wpmu site. Ideally we want to setup something like wordpress.com with custom domains pointing to subsites.
Thanks
If you are working with paths, install Wordpress Domain Mapping plugin and follow the steps described on this article. It will let you map a domain to a path in your server.
If you are using subdomains, then:
Add the desired subdomain to a site.
Point www.clientdomain.com to your wordpress server.
On your server, add the domain www.clientdomain.com and make it point to your wordpress installation.
Wait until DNS changes take effect.
Your site should be ready.
Our company is trying to transition to WordPress Multisite but we have several issues working against us at the moment. We host WP outside our server environment (we use Amazon for our WP sites) so we actually have to use an URL proxy to our Amazon servers. The other issue is that we needed to install Multisite in the root of the folder so the domain is http://100.10.20.30/foldername but we can't proxy that to http://www.domain.com/foldername because that is a live site that we're not moving to WP any time soon. So, of course, the problem we're running in to is that the IP is showing up not only in the source code but in Google now as well (which we don't want).
Does anyone know of anything we can do to keep the IP out of the source code/Google? I was thinking about rewrite rules in the htaccess file but didn't want to do anything until I had some better ideas.
Also, I can't use the domain mapping plugin that everyone seems to suggest for this type of issue because our sites aren't hosted in the root of our server (a prerequisite for the plugin).
So to break it down, this is what we need:
Multisite Parent Blog <-- This has to be the IP address
Multisite child blogs <-- Domain name but when we set the actual proxied domain name in the settings we get a 404 error because it's not looking in the right place. It's looking for an actual folder on our internal servers.
Thanks!
Found the solution myself. Posted below:
In the Multisite dashboard, click on "All Sites" then administer the specific site.
Under the "Path" field, you'll need to deselect the "Update siteurl and home as well."
Save changes.
Click on "Settings" tab.
Change the URL in the following fields: "SiteURL" and "Home"
Save changes.
When all is said and done, the IP is showing in the "Info" tab but it changes the URL in the source code to your domain.
