Addon domain folder structure

[edsmiths]

Hi there,

I've been around this problem and kindly ask for some help.

- Just configured (by the book) an addon domain in my cpanel host account on a new folder inside public_html.

- Both the two sites (joomla-maindomain.com and wordpress-addondomain.com) are running smoothly.

- When I load wordpress-addondomain.com and check the source code, the folder structure is: joomla-maindomain.com/wordpress-addondomain/whatever

Is there a way to change this complete path and hide the maindomain folder?

My idea is to prevent users to know my primary site when checking the source code of the addondomain site and keep a cleaner folder structure.

Thanks in advance

You could look into using a 301 redirect so that the subdomain/sub-directory is redirected to wordpress-addondomain.com.

Alternatively, when you installed Wordpress (maybe using Fantastico?) its "website url" was misconfigured, so it needs to be corrected: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

Thank you,

I've followed your link and made some changes in wp-config. That partially solved my problem but still with some "maindomain" folder path.

I've installed wordpress by ftp so probably that's the main issue... will now do a clean install with softaculous.

I suppose that does not matter which way of installation you are using. You just need to make sure your web host support all needed PHP and MySQL.

Did you change the links in the wordpress control panel?
