My website is hosted at root directory (public_html) for hosting so the URL format is as follows:
http://www.example.com
I want the homepage to be open as it is on main domain but to add a custom folder directory (directory name 'wp') to all my inner pages and posts. For example currently I have the page structure like this:
http://www.example.com/?p=123
But I want it to be open like this with 'wp':
http://www.example.com/wp/?p=123
What are the necessary steps needs to be taken for this?
Thanks in advanced!
You would need to create a folder in your root directory called "wp" and install wordpress there.

Is it possible to add new non-wordpress website under same domain in Wordpress?
My domain is http://7deal.com/ and I want to access my non-wordpress website using http://7deal.com/merchant/. I already upload my new files and tried it and it display page can't be found.
Thanks for any help.
In the main directory where your web files are stored you will just need to make a folder called "merchant". Then add all of your new website files in there.
NOTE: wordpress's .htaccess file may cause some issues depending on what the other website is!
Try to delete or rename wordpress root .htaccess.
I have a website in main folder with urls like:
domain.com/article/one etc.
Also i would like to install Wordpress into folder:
wordpress
But i would like urls to be NOT:
domain.com/wordpress/post/....
But:
domain.com/post/...
I would like to handle with .htaccess or index.php all requests to Wordpress so they are redirected to proper place in wordpress folder, so the main application will be intact.
How to make sure my basic app and wordpress will work together nicely?
change wp-options table value of home url and site url
what you want like abc.com
and move your content to main directory where you want like public_html/
My problem is that I have installed worpress on CPanel. But when I access my site name i.e. www.loophole.ml it shows the index / page. But when I open www.loophole.ml/admin then I shows my website.
How I can make it directly that when I search www.loophole.ml my website appear not the Index/ page.
Easiest solution is to take wordpress out of the admin folder and install it in the parent folder, e.g.
public_html <-- Copy files into this folder
- admin
- cgi-bin
Once the files are in place you will need to alter the database so that the home_url and site_url are the same (http://loophole.ml/). These fields are located in the wp_options table.
I have wordpress installed on the root of my website (say example.com/), but there is a folder of the website that i want to directly build in php/html not controlled by wordpress - basically I want it to be its own separate entity, but with the url being example.com/folder/, so it sits under wordpress in the url hierarchy, but is completely independant... Is that possible? I have done some research but cant find a solution or any reference to this.
Thanks very much for your help!
Just make the folder in the root directory of the wordpress install. Any files inside of that folder that does not declare the wp-load.php file will not be controlled by wordpress.
Basically I have a website that I built in html and don't want to touch but what I would like to do if its possible is install Wordpress in a sub directory on the same site sort of like a holding area to showcase a wordpress site I am working on! I tried simply adding a new directory to the domain and copying over the wordpress folder but this didnt work so im just wondering if anyone knows how to do what im looking for can they help me out please!
Any help is much appreciated!
Edit: The original website is not a wordpress site, its just a normal HTML website its not a blog or anything, I already have other HTML websites in subdirectories im just looking to have one subdirectory that uses wordpress.
For example:
main site = www.mywebsite.com (Built in html)
1st subsite = www.mywebsite.com/siteb (built in html)
2nd subsite = www.mywebsite.com/sitec (using wordpress)
WordPress can be install in a subdirectory - by default the download will unzip into a folder called wordpress which you can rename if you would like. If you run the install from the subdirectory it should set the proper WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL values, but if not or if you currently have WordPress installed in the root and want to move it to a subdirectory, you can follow this guide to Giving WordPress Its Own Directory.
