Redirecting domain to new wp site

Replies: 0

Hi,

For some reason I’m really struggling with what I think should be a simple thing to do. I’ve got a domain that points to an older site that I want to replace. I created a new wp site that located in a folder within the folder of the current site.

I thought I could just simply go onto my host server and change the domain root directory that the domain points to current and point it to the location of the new wp site. That however results in a 404 error and doesn’t work.

I have considered just copying the entire folder with the new wp site outside of the current parent site folder and then creating a new addon directory to that location on the server. I did try deleting the current addon domain and recreating that to point to the new wp site folder but that caused everything to fail.

Long store short, what is the easiest and best method to point my current domain to the new wp site folder?

Thanks
