Root directory

[warrenmoises]

Hi,
I would like to upload wordpress to the root directory so "forexample.com" would be used rather than "http://forexample.users.sonic.net/" I tried a redirect code but that didn't work and It didn't allow me to install database to a folder specified. I'm fairly new to this so any help will do. thanks.

Warren,

I took a peek at your site, and it looks like you've put all the Wordpress files in the main web directory (linked to as "public_html" by default and /home/WWW_pages/warrenmoises/ as the full path).

If you're okay with leaving things where they are, you can change the default directory for your website to use this "base" path. To do so, you'll want log in to our Member Tools page (https://members.sonic.net), and navigate the menu on the left like so:

Web Sites / Domain Names --> Hosting --> Change Hosting Directory

You'll want to click the 'Modify' button next to the site you want to change, pick the 'Use my web base directory' option, then click the 'Change hosting directory' button.
