Hi Jennifer, Very simple to use method. I was wondering if you used it, as you are making a change to the index file (by adding wordpress2 to the right of the /) would you still keep the back links to the site? For example

@JoePann hi Joe! This video is assuming it is a new blog that is being transitioned from more of a build environment over, but that is a great question. ^J

Jennifer - I spent a ridiculous amount of time, and I mean ridiculous, trying to figure this out. I don't even use the same control panel and I was still able to figure it out. Thank-you very much!

@digitalwebb glad it helped! :)

hey Jennifer - thanks for the short, sweet and to-the-point video - this was exactly what I was looking for and much easier to understand than those "how-to" articles on codex

I was so relieved to find this tutorial - thanks.

However, have some follow-up questions of that's okay. Having transfered the site to root ... I then cannot get plugins like google sitemap to work ... is there a simple fix? Thanks
