Lenny Warren Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 My forum is installed in the root directory of my server, but want to move it to a sub directory /forums so that I can install a Wordpress front end. I've been searching/googling but panicking that I kill my forum, is it easy to do??? Is it just a case of modifying the base_url in conf_global.php and physically moving the folders and files?

Optic14 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 There is documentation for this: It is for moving to a different server but many of the steps are the same, you can skip the database transfer steps as you are on the same server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
