Report content (issue description)

I’m trying to get method 1 to work but it doesn’t change anything. I still have to go to domain.com/wp to get to the blog page. I tried changing .htaccess to www-data ownership and group and reloading apache2. I’ve double-checked that I had the file contents right in .htaccess. I copied and pasted it into nano and used search and replace to change example.com to our domain name and wp to replace my_subdir. Is this information up to date?

I tried method 2 as well but I think I ended up with broken links if I recall correctly. Will probably give it another try.

Note that I have the settings in wp administrator as domain.com/my_subdir (with my real domain and subdirectory, wp in my case).

I know you can’t give technical support, I just wonder if this information could be checked to see if it still works and I’m not just going crazy. 🙂
