I've created a new replacement website for the company that I work for on a subdomain of that company's current site. Almost ready to launch but I created the site on theme.example.com and I want to rename the subdomain to companyinitials.example.com. Can I just rename the subdomain folder in the site's cpanel and expect that to work, with maybe some permalink edits? Or is there a better way to proceed?
-All my thanks.

I'm confused, I have a miltisite wordpress installation but also another site managing the customer areas.
So I have the site on the main domain www.domaine.com and i installed the wordpress multisite in a subdomain: sites.domain.com
So far everything is fine, but when I want to create a site, wordpress requires me to be subject to the subdomain like this: other.site.domain.com
I tried to modify the .htaccess and wp-config.php but when I go back to the site management it redirects me to www.domaine.com without my being able to access the wordpress multisite management...
How can I create sites with addresses under the domain and not under the subdomain like this:
other.domain.com and not like this other.site.domain.com
Thanks
It's ok, I can't access for two reasons.
One my wildcard is set on other folder than wp installation (blank page on subsite create)
Two I need to set address of new site for replace domain.com/other to other.domain.com
And now I can access to website and subsite.
Thank!
Thank you for your answer, I just tested but it does not react correctly.
When I put the configuration of DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE on domaine.com I can no longer access the settings of the multisite network, I am redirected to the purchase site which is on the domain.
Another thing, if I therefore create a site in a subdirectory and not in a subdomain with the SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL configuration false, when I type test.domaine.com a blank page appears as if there was no site or if I Type site.domain.com/test/ it works.
I cleared the caches everywhere and tried again but nothing happened.
In case I expressed myself badly,
www.domain.com = The commercial site of the company
site.domain.com = Multisite management and sample site
other1.domain.com = Customer site created from site.domain.com
thanks again
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.
It can help you more if you want Moving Wordpress Site
Iam using hostgator and I want to move my wordpress application from the root directory 'home/username/' to a new directory which is 'home/username/mysite' and the website url should be mysite.com, I tried to do that but now my website url is mysite.com/mysite, so what I could do ?
Unfortunately, Hostgator cPanel does not allow you to change the root folder of the primary domain to anything other than the default public_html folder yourself. If you really need to do it, you need to contact their migrations department. Also, please note that this only works for a VPS or a Dedicated server.
There is, however, a workaround to avoid going through this process to achieve the desired result:
Change the primary domain name on your Hostgator account to something else. (mynewsite.com)
Now create an add-on domain with the original domain name. (mysite.com)
Point the add-on domain mysite.com to the new folder that contains the Wordpress installation. (home/username/mysite)
Your original domain name will now point to the new folder as you desired.
It's not pretty, I admit, but it gets the job done.
Not supported by Hostgator. Please read this
I have my WordPress site hosted on WordPress server. Now, I have registered a new domain name say example.ml. How can I change the WordPress URL to new domain name?
Do I need to completely move my files to a new host to do this? Is it possible to add URL to a site hosted on WordPress.
Any help is entertained.
Well, you could at least check the Wordpress Codex site. here
You need to edit the WP-config.php
define('WP_HOME','http://yournewdomain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://yournewdomain.com');
I have successfully moved a wordpress site from /test directory to the root, so now the website url looks like www.example.com. Fine.
However the admin section (wp-admin) still points to /test directory and so the url looks like www.example.com/test/wp-admin/...
How can I make it like www.example.com/wp-admin/...?
Please notice that I'm not interested in a simple redirection (now the customer is able to access the admin section with www.example.com/wp-admin, but then he's redirected to www.example.com/test/wp-admin/..., and it's not what he wants.
Thanks in advance
Everything is documented in http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
You may need to change many URLs in post/page content; if so, see https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB as suggested in the above Docs.
There is no need to create a new Wordpress install.
Also see http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install if you want to keep core Wordpress files and folders in a subfolder, but have the site appear to be at root for the end user.
You should not move wordpress this way. Here is what you do:
Install Clean Wordpress Installation on the new domain.
(www.original.com)
Use a plugin* to make back-up on your test domain.
(www.original.com/test/)
Install plugin* on the new domain, and restore back-up from test
domain. (www.orignal.com)
Update your style.css, header.php, index.php & footer.php if it
contains hard written links to your test domain.
You cannot simply move a wordpress installation - as most entries, links etc. are stored in the database. If you move folders in your ftp they will still point to the old database. This is why you have to duplicate your site, where the database entries will be automatically updated to your new site domain. Hard written links in any theme php files will have to be updated.
Although your problem depends on how your pointers/sites are set-up in c-panel. If you have to change pointers for your directory, you might have to back-up your website and upload it to a different domain so your new site can access the restoration back-up file via http request.
*Plugins such as wp clone, duplicator.
