Hello @fierevere ,

I got it knocked by following the instructions on this page https://askwpgirl.com/move-wordpress-subdirectory-root/

Now I just have to work on the slow home page loading speed. Something doesn’t seem right.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Dennis

Hello @fierevere ,

Here is the code that exists in the .htaccess file that currently resides in the public_html directory…

#<IfModule mod_headers.c>
#    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
#</IfModule>
# Removed the prior lines per ticket 746681

I see there are directives between # BEGIN WordPress and # END WordPress. Are these the correct directives to have my site accessed from the public_html directory?

Here is the code contained in the .htaccess file within the drp-wordpress-site directory…

In other words are these the correct directives (which are already there in the .htaccess file in the public_html directory) …

# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thanks and regards,

Dennis

Hello @macmanx ,

I’ve got it knocked. Talked to my service provider and they indicated that their servers don’t generate php.ini files. In order to make tweaks to PHP functions, as you mentioned, the root level .htaccess file was key.

Hi @tfanelli ,

Thanks for your generous and expert feedback. After going to my CPanel under ‘Softwares’ I realized I was using the wrong Software (PHP Selector) to change the PHP version of my domain ( see image ). I took the advice of the ‘information popup’ and utilized ‘MultiPHP Manager’ to update the PHP version on my domain to 8.3.

I was indeed running W3 Cache plugin but it must not have been configured correctly. I reverted to LiteSpeed Cache (which is also configurable – I’ll have to look into that to see what I can tweak for better persormance) and seem to be getting faster initial load speeds ( less than a second ).

Also, here is what my current .htaccess file looks like

#<IfModule mod_headers.c>
#    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
#</IfModule>
# Removed the prior lines per MDD Hosting ticket 746681


RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/.+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
<IfModule LiteSpeed>
CacheLookup public on
</IfModule>

# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “alt-php83” package as the default “PHP” programming language.

<IfModule mime_module>
  AddHandler application/x-httpd-alt-php83 .php .php8 .phtml
</IfModule>

# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

As you can see, I removed 3 lines as suggested by my web hosting company tech support. There is a block of LiteSpeed code, a block of WordPress code and a block of code for the PHP version. If you see anything that might be amiss, let me know if you can. Thanks.

Hi @sterndata ,

Thanks for the input. I don’t believe that xyz.com is a wordpress site.
However, I won’t be using anything from the xyz.com database. I am utilizing xyz.com for information for the xyzblog.com site which I am developing to utilize as the client’s new site and eventually pointing xyz.com to the server space containing xyzblog.com

The actual websites are xyz.com = jpalenhouse.com and xyzblog.com = jpalenhouseblog.com

Hi @crouchingbruin

I see what you are saying. I just noticed that too. Let me try to
remedy this. Man, if this fixes it, that would be great.

I’ll let you know.

Thanks.

Dennis

Hi @crouchingbruin ,

Thanks for your input.

I’ve tried that, even with !important; and it does not seem to work in any
of the three browsers I use, the latest versions of… Chrome, Safari, Firefox.

Dennis

Hi Neil,

Thanks.

Dennis
