URL Rewrite ? - Wordpress

Hi,

I'm a longtime customer at Winhost and I would like to know if it'S possible to do what I need. I tried a couple of things but was never able to make it work.

I have a regular website at the root using asp.net and IIS 7.5.
I have also installed wordpress on the default /wordpress folder.

I would like to hide/remove the /wordpress from all the page on the wordpress website. www.ADomaineName.com/wordpress to become www.ADomaineName.com. It is possible and how can I do that ?

Thanks

Richard

 

There's no default option in WordPress permalinks settings to remove the home directory from the URL, so you'd have to do what @Elshadriel suggested and check out the code used when hosting domains in subdirectories. That should get you started.

This may be of some help too - it's the web.config lines necessary to use "post name" URLs in WordPress on Windows servers. So it's a rewrite, though it doesn't change the path, as you're trying to do:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
        <match url="*"/>
        <conditions>
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true"/>
        </conditions>
        <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php"/>
        </rule></rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>
