It is working fine now, but I fear when I upgrade to a newer version of wpmu, the settings might be screwy, as I don't remember which files in the wp-content, wp-includes, wp-admin, and other files to edit the correct URLs. The truth is that beside editing the URL in the database, I did an edit with wp-config.php and changed the base to the correct URL. What else do I have to do to ensure a complete URL transition? </p> http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/to-move-wordpress-mu-to-another-directory-or-upper-directory#post-3688 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:31:50 +0000 andrea_r 3688@http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/ <p>Move the files where you want (preferably the root), and then you will have to edit the URL in the database in a few areas. </p> http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/to-move-wordpress-mu-to-another-directory-or-upper-directory#post-3674 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:14:37 +0000 Andrew 3674@http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/ <p>Hiya,</p> <p>WPMU should always be installed in the root directory of a domain/subdomain.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Andrew </p> http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/to-move-wordpress-mu-to-another-directory-or-upper-directory#post-3673 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 22:07:52 +0000 argh2xxx 3673@http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/ <p>How can I move wordpress mu installation out of its original directory to another directory or to upper level of directory?
