如何缩短WordPress网站路径？将子目录部署的WordPress页面访问路径改为根目录形式

Hey there! Let's get your about page's URL changed from http://localhost:82/_testwebsite/wordpress/about/ to http://localhost:82/about/—here's a step-by-step breakdown to make it happen:

Step 1: Update WordPress Site & Home URLs #

First, we need to adjust the core WordPress settings to reflect your desired root URL:

• Log into your WordPress admin dashboard.
• Navigate to Settings > General.
• Keep the WordPress Address (URL) as your actual installation path: http://localhost:82/_testwebsite/wordpress/ (this tells WP where its core files live).
• Change the Site Address (URL) to your preferred root URL: http://localhost:82/ (this is what visitors will see in their browser).
• Click Save Changes—WordPress will automatically update database entries to match these new URLs.

Step 2: Adjust .htaccess Files #

Since WordPress is installed in a subdirectory, we need two .htaccess files to handle the URL rewriting correctly:

Root Directory .htaccess (C:\xampp\htdocs_testwebsite) #

If there's no .htaccess file in your root htdocs directory, create a new one and add this code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

This tells Apache to route all requests to the WordPress installation in the wordpress subdirectory while keeping the root URL structure.

WordPress Subdirectory .htaccess (C:\xampp\htdocs_testwebsite\wordpress) #

Make sure the .htaccess in your WordPress folder has the default rewrite rules (if it doesn't, regenerate it via the permalinks settings later):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /_testwebsite/wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /_testwebsite/wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Step 3: Refresh Permalinks #

To ensure WordPress picks up the new URL structure, we need to regenerate the rewrite rules:

• Go back to Settings > Permalinks in the WP admin.
• You don't need to change any settings—just click Save Changes. This will flush the old rewrite rules and apply the new ones.

Step 4: Verify Your Setup #

• Visit http://localhost:82/about/—it should load your custom template page correctly now.
• Double-check that other pages/posts also load with the root URL structure (e.g., http://localhost:82/your-post/ instead of the subdirectory path).

Important Notes #

• Ensure Apache's mod_rewrite module is enabled: Open your XAMPP Apache config file (httpd.conf), find the line #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so, remove the # at the start, then restart Apache.
• Avoid hardcoding URLs in your theme—use WordPress built-in functions like get_permalink() or home_url() to generate dynamic links that adapt to your site URL settings.
• If you run into 404 errors, double-check your .htaccess file permissions (they should be set to 644) and that the rewrite rules are correct.
