How to move wordpress files from a subfolder or subdirectory in your webserver to the root.
After i made a video guide how we move our wordpress from the root to a subfolder or subdirectory, this screencast inspires me making this video about moving wordpress to the root.
I personally would prefer having all my wordpress files in a subfolder but there are things you should consider before you move to your blog to different folder or directory:
1. Check the destination directory, and make sure, that you don’t have same files.
2. You must know that it will hurt your SEO because the permalinks or the links that you have built, will obviously change.
Excuse my voice as I caught a bit flu :(

Hey John!
Welcome to this blog.
Well this tutorial is not for your case.
This tutorial is moving from a subfolder to the root, let’s say, your older blog address was, yourdomain.com/wordpress, and you want to change it to yourdomain.com
and not without www. to a site with www.
To achieve what you want to change, I have wrote this:
http://www.blog.web6.org/with-or-without-www-wordpress-blog/
That’s exactly what you need, but only if you are familiar with htaccess file, otherwise, you shouldn’t play with it.
I suggest you to contact your host for a help.
I hope this helps
