Move WordPress to a different URL path on the same domain

By default, WordPress is available at the domain or IP address root URL, such as http://SERVER-IP or http://example.com. To move WordPress to a different path on the same domain or IP address, such as http://SERVER-IP/blog or http://example.com/blog, follow these steps:

• Log in to the server console using SSH.

• Edit the /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/httpd-prefix.conf file and find the lines below:

  #Alias /wordpress/ "/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/"
  #Alias /wordpress "/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs"
  

  Uncomment and update the Alias directives to reflect the new path. For example, to move WordPress to the /blog path, update the file to look like this:

  Alias /blog/ "/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/"
  Alias /blog "/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs"
  

• Look for the lines below in the file /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-config.php file:

  define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/');
  define('WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/');
  

  Modify them to reflect the new path, as below:

  define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/blog');
  define('WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/blog');
  

• Restart Apache:

  $ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
