If you’re like me, you started your Wordpress blog as a subdomain and now you wish to move it to root.  Here’s what I did to successfully move my Wordpress 2.8.5 blog:

1. Login to Wordpress Admin and under General > Settings change the wordpress address and blog address URLS.

2. Using an FTP client, such as FileZilla, move all files from your subdomain directory to the root.

done!

If you are using permalinks, you may have to update them. There are plugins to help you with this.  I use permalinks and did not since blog.mydomain to www.mydomain change had no effect on the link path.

I hope this helps and yes it’s as easy as you thought it would be.
