Remove directory name from url Wordpress

1) in your dashboard, go to settings -> general and make sure

a) wordpress directory -> http://mydomain.com/wp

b) site address -> http://mydomain.com

2) move your index.php from subdirectory to the root (MOVE, don't just copy)

3) edit your index.php to read

    /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */    require('./wp/wp-blog-header.php');

where "wp" is your subdirectory

4) delete any .htaccess file in the subdirectory

5) add this to your .htaccess in the root

# BEGIN WordPress<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /index.php [L]</IfModule># END WordPress

Under this setup, your wordpress installation will be located in /wp/ directory. Visitors will visit your site using http://mydomain.com.

If you want to have a good read-up on everything so you know exactly what you're doing, read this https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

Add (or edit) the .htaccess file and put this:

# BEGIN WordPress<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /wp/RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /index.php [L]</IfModule># END WordPress

This basically creates a rewrite rule for your apache server and all traffic is redirected according the RewriteBase directive.
