Azure WordPress site – URLs not showing on move from root to subdirectory

by

According the post you provided, if you are following the section Moving a Root install to its own directory, it seems will make the wordpress dashboard panel via visiting url like "http://example.com/<sub-folder>/..." and wordpress frontend site via "http://example.com".

If this is your requirement, it seems there are some different steps with my test and which works fine on my side. You can try my settings:

  • Changed the WordPress site URL to "http://<web_app_name>.azurewebsites.net/<sub-folder-name>"
  • Do not change the Site address (URL) (keep to"http://<web_app_name>.azurewebsites.net")
  • Move your WordPress core files to the sub-folder, except web.config.
  • create index.php in root directory (outside sub-folder), with contain:

    define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php' );
  • Check the permalinks

Here is the final structure of my Azure Web App:
