Hi Shaun, yes I did. I had to move all my files to the root directory rather than keep them in the “WordPress” folder.

Thanks for following up.

I prefer the non-www URLs, but that’s just my preference. Ultimately it really shouldn’t matter

Thanks kCoder – you’re right! I just did it with a niche site. Just go into Settings in the WordPress dashboard and change the Site Address url.

Hey guys, I changed both addresses (seen in screen shot above) from http://www.replayimage.com/wordpress to just http://www.replayimage.com.

Now I can’t view my site anymore. Sorry but im new to this and dont know how to add wordpress back to it. The reason I want to put it back is because Im not ready to launch yet and would rather have everything ready and then remove the wordpress from URL for good.

Help is greatly appreciated!

Sal

If you want to make direct queries on the database there is an online tool to generate sql queries to Change a wordpress URL. It is licenced under a creative commons license, and written in simple Javascript / HTML.

If you have WordPress 2.2 or higher, you can actually change the url without any database change. See here: Word Blog URL change without Database Query
