ok well i am having trouble getting my blog to show up. if i do www.mydomain.com/blog it will show up, but i want it to show up just by typing in the domain www.mydomain.com i found a tutorial http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory that i thought could help me but it doesnt seem to work for me? anyone have any idea what i am doing wrong and can explain to me in detail how to fix this? lol thank you in advance!
you can use htaccess Redirect /blog/ http://www.mydomain.com If your blog is new it may be better to reinstall it in the root (public_html or similar) You can export your posts and save the db and then reimport them back into the new installation
ok well i have a hosting account with hostgator and have multiple domains on this account. what i am trying to do is set up a blog on one of my domains but not on any of the others. so if i was to install wordpress in the root wouldnt that put wordpress on ALL of my domains? how can I go about putting wordpress on just one of my domains? i cant seem to figure it out.
then it should be installed in the root folder of that particular domain -then when you go to that domain in a browser no subfolder should be needed for the url I cant believe that no one else has repied to this thread
