How to redirect wordpress homepage to subfolder

    I have a wordpress template that loads the home page

    www.thisismywebsite.com


    I want to 301 redirect that to:

    www.thisismywebsite.com/keywordsgohere


    and have all the files and folders that were sub directories under the root all fall in line under the new "root" --www.thisismywebsite.com/keywordsgohere

    problem is that if I just make another folder and move files, nothing is in the right place according to all the images/articles anymore.

    Is there a way to do this without manually editing the ENTIRE website and changing ALL the html links by hand?

    thanks

    WordPress tends to break images when you move from root to subdomain/folder or back. To my knowledge other than re uploading them there is not a good fix. You could use PHPMyAdmin and change your URL's in your MySQL database.

    Did you check your config.php file for path changes?

    It's possible using an .htaccess file if your host supports that.
