Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm putting together a site for a non-profit using wordpress. They currently have a site online, and they'd like it to remain intact while I'm building out the new one.<br />
<br />
I was planning on just creating a folder on their server, dropping all the wordpress files in there, and running the wordpress install like normal. &nbsp;(<a href="http://www.example.com/newsite" rel="ugc">www.example.com/newsite</a>)<br />
<br />
Once the sites all ready and approved, can I just move all of the files out of the 'newsite' directory into the root directory?<br />
<br />
Are there any settings that i'll need to change?<br />
<br />
I appreciate your input.<br />
<br />
