Community Q&A:
Choosing a Directory With WordPress
I am part of a group who is setting up a new website on WebHostingHub. We are using WordPress as our Content Management System. I have found the page where you set up the installation of WordPress. Under Software Setup, the heading "In Directory" reads as follows:
"The directory is relative to your domain and should not exist. e.g. To install at http://mydomain/dir/ just type dir. To install only in http://mydomain/ leave this empty."
For those of you who have done this, I am just wondering if it is more advisable to create a directory onto which we can install WordPress or if we should just install it to the domain. I'd welcome any advice. Thanks!

Hello SquarePeg61, Thank you for your question. It really depends on the nature of your website. If your main website is going to be designed in Wordpress, I would recommend leaving the "In Directory" option blank. That way they can access your Wordpress installation on: http://yourdomain/com If this is going to be a part of the website, for example just the blog section, then you can enter "blog" in the "In Directory" section. Then you would access the site at: http://yourdomain.com/blog If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul |
