I have finally moved this wordpress wiki into the davelevy.info domain from its historic site at wiki.davelevy.info; it’s now at .\/wiki to be precise. Here’s how I did it. …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How to move a wordpress site from a sub domain to domain hosted folder name.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Use cd ..\/oldwiki; find . | cpio -pvdum ..\/next\/wiki<\/code> to move the old instance to the new location<\/li>\n
  2. Change the settings page<\/li>\n
  3. Amend the redirects file, Redirect 301 \/ https:\/\/davelevy.info\/wiki\/<\/code><\/li>\n
  4. I examined and amended my version of header.php which had hardcoded locations to implement the button menu at the top of the page.<\/li>\n
  5. I installed really simple sssl, to deal with the hardcoded images at http and reinstalled the header image, the former may have been overkill.<\/li>\n
  6. I then wrote some SQL, which I ran against the blog posts table to replace the content enclosed old URLs. I used the SQL REPLACE function.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This was piss easy, why has it taken me so long?<\/p>\n
