Hi Terri, thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I was wondered is there any different between installing wordpress and a wordpress-theme in the subdirectory? I was trying to install wordpress-theme and after finishing it. it does not show me the “Create Configuration File.” Of course I followed your instruction. but I just wondered the different between install wordpress itself and the wordpress-theme gave me that issue (which was no “…wp-admin” any idea? thanks
Thank you
Here is a trick question for you (And I’m hoping you can really answer this one). To get to that subdomain, you have to type in http://www.website.com/subdomain, correct? How do we make it so it goes to an entirely different domain all together? So that same exact site you created will display instead at http://www.myotherwebsite.com? In other words, no association whatsoever with http://www.website.com.
I have created a subdirectory. And I have two wordpress installed, one in root and the other in subdirectory. Both of them contains posts and pages. I want to access both and it’s happening. But when I am hiding the subdirectory slug from the post URL by modifying the .htaccess file, the sub directory name got hidden as per the requirement but the posts of my main domain is inaccessible and getting 404 error. Please suggest.
Thank you so muchhhhhhhh !
Hello, I have the wordpress website with posts already existing on it. I want and planning to create a subdirectory and install wordpress in it; However, I still want to use the same theme and keep the same posts I already have on my current worpress website (I want to keep the same content because I will make some very few changes and I am planning to add a specific geographic location to the subdirectory site created via google search console).
How could I keep the same content (than my current worpress website), features, posts, and design in the new subdirectory worpress site I will create? Thanks for your help!
Oh thank you! This was so helpful!
