  I installed WordPress using bluehost in a subfolder. It is installed at http://www.tableart.co/tableauchallenge (I have two domains – tableart.co is the primary domain). I put an htaccess file in the root folder to redirect traffic from http://www.tableauchallenge.com to http://www.tableauchallenge.com/tableauchallenge. when I visit the site using the worpress admin I can see the content, but when I try it not logged in all I see is ‘site coming soon’.

  Here is my htaccess file:
  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?tableauchallenge.com$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/tableauchallenge/
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /tableauchallenge/$1
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?tableauchallenge.com$
  RewriteRule ^(/)?$ tableauchallenge/index.php [L]
  </IfModule>

  Here is my root folder:
  http://www.tableart.co/
  The only file in this folder is the htaccess file.

  Hi there,
  You are using a self hosted WordPress.org site rather than a WordPress.com site. Here are the differences between the two in this guide:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  These forums are where we provide support for WordPress.com sites hosted on WordPress.com servers. You can get help for WordPress.org sites here:

  https://wordpress.org/support/

  If the information you need isn’t already there, you can start a new topic.

  Best of luck!
