I’m new to WordPress.
Basically I just wanted to move the site from the root www folder to a subfolder.
I have access to the frontend site, but not the admin panel.
I did this steps:
1- Change WordPress Address URL to http://example.com/subfolder
2- move all files to subfolder, and copy index.php and .htaccess to root folder
3- change index.php code line to require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/m4thod.com2/wp-blog-header.php' );
4- in .htaccess public_html I tried with this rules but I commented it.
#<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?m4thod.com$
#RewriteRule ^(/)?$ m4thod.com2[L]
#</IfModule>
5- added this lines to wp-config.php
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com/subdirectory/');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://example.com/');
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://example.com/subdirectory/');
I don’t know if it’s the .htaccess file, I have .htaccess in public_html and public_html/subfolder
I normally do this kind of migrations in Magento 2 with Apache server in a VM, but I’m struggling with this hosting and wordpress.
I’m using Blue Host btw.
UPDATE:
I get Interna error 500.
And this is the way I access
https://example.com/subdirectory/wp-login.php
Greetings!

Please update the permalink setting it works ?
The conflict arises due to incorrect
.htaccess
. Put the .htaccess file in the root folder and original index.php file copy to the subfolder. without editrequire( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );
.
Modify the
.htaccess
for the WordPress site in the subdirectory to include the subfolder name. For example:
