How To Redirect Your Domain To A Subfolder Using .htaccess

In: Advanced Asked By: Omahaintergroup [2

I’m new to wordpress and the codex redirected me to the above page on your site. I have read it but can’t figure out how to comment on that page so I’m asking my question here.

I changed my .htaccess file as you suggest and copied it to my root directory as well as copied index.php from omaoa.org/wordpress however going to omahaoa.org as a user would still shows the old index.html rather than the home page I designed in wordpress. What should I do?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Tom,

The following .htaccess code should do the trick and get your site to redirect to the subdirectory:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?YourDomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ blog [L]

However, there are some other changes you might need to make to your WordPress setup that are further explained here:
