Here is a quick and little trick to move WordPress to a subdomain or addon domain.
Assume you have a WordPress install under
public_html
and you can access your WordPress site via
www.your_domain.com
but what you want to access your WordPress site it via a subdomain. Lets use /blog for this example. The same concept applies to addon domains.
Our goal is to access our WordPress site via:
www.your_domain.com/blog
Here are the steps to move WordPress:
- Create a folder blog in public_html (or whatever your root html folder is called).
- Move all files from WordPress to public_html/blog
- Edit wp-config.php. Add in right at the beginning: ```
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.your_domain.com/blog/'); define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.your_domain.com/blog/'); ```
You are all set. Enjoy your moved WordPress site on your new subdomain or domain.
