Basic Wordpress setup

Support
1

I might be making a couple of complete noob mistakes but please can anyone provide any help with:

  1. Is it possible to make my Wordpress blog the top level of a domain rather than with a ‘/blog’ path tagged onto the end?
  2. Is there a default username and password for accessing Wordpress admin panel? I set it up with a yunohost user but that user account’s details do not work when trying to log into Wordpress.

Thank you.

Edit: OK, got round the password issue by installing an email app and getting Wordpress to send a password reset link.

Hello,

  1. It’s possible : Put only / instead /blog in the path box to install wordpress on the top level. But it will be not possible to install other apps in this domain.
  2. It looks there is a bug with the Wordpress app. You are not the first who say there is a problem with the password on Wordpress. Reset it is the right way :wink:

Sorry for my poor english.

Thanks for the reply. Didn’t even think to try a simple ‘/’ - assumed it wasn’t possible after it would not let me leave the field blank.

I may have found another bug with the Wordpress app. If you change the path to ‘/’ it still redirects to ‘/blog’ when accessing the domain resulting in a ‘Page not found’ error.

If you are comfortable with the notions of FTP and databases, I advise you to install a Custom Webapp and put it yourself Wordpress.
In addition, it will be much easier to manage your files and make changes.

I did it 2 days ago and it works perfectly :wink:

6

If you change it manually or if you install it again with the proper address ?

Both.

Can you show the nginx configuration file for the wordpress? It should be there in /etc/nginx/conf.d/yourdomian.tld.d/wordpress.conf.

#–MULTISITE–rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;
#–MULTISITE–rewrite ^/(/[^/]+)?(/wp-.) /$2 last;
#–MULTISITE–rewrite ^/(/[^/]+)?(/..php)$ /$2 last;
#–MULTISITE–}

location / {
alias /var/www/wordpress/;
index index.php;
if (!-e $request_filename)
{
rewrite ^(.+)$ //index.php?q=$1 last;
}
if ($scheme = http) {
rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

location ~ [^/].php(/|$) {

include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
}

Include SSOWAT user panel.

#include conf.d/yunohost_panel.conf.inc;
}

All looks good. Clear your browsers cache.

Done and issues persists - even tried opening the page in a different browser and asking a friend to check from his PC, still get redirected to /blog instead.

12

Can you show /etc/ssowat/conf.json.persistent ?

Its conf.json file you showed. There is another file conf.json.persistent. Please show that one.

15

Apologies - didn’t notice the last suffix there. I think we have found the issue:

{
“redirected_urls”: {
“mydomain.comt/”: “mydomain.com/blog”
}
}

16

@abers
Please remove the line "mydomain.comt/": "mydomain.com/blog"
Then regenerate the SSOwat configuration by this command yunohost app ssowatconf
