  Hi,

  I’ve got a problem. I’d like to run WordPress on a Subdomain.

  My website is for example: http://www.MY123SITE.com
  I’ve created a Subdomain: http://upgrade.MY123SITE.com
  So, what I’ve done:
  a) I’ve created a folder web within the subdomain name directory ‘upgrade’ and then move all the content into the folder titled ‘web’.
  ftp:/subdomains/upgrade/web/all Files…
  /wp-admin
  /wp-content
  /wp-includes
  wp-config.php
  …
  b) I’ve updated my WordPress config file to reflect the new database, “wp-config.php from ftp:/subdomains/upgrade/web/wp-config.php
  c) I’ve updated “wp_options” -> siteurl from http://www.MY123SITE.com/MY123SITE to http://upgrade.MY123SITE.com

  If I’m checking an address http://upgrade.MY123SITE.com I will redirect to http://www.MY123SITE.com/

  Please let me know what it’s wrong?
  If I need to change something else?
  How can I log in to WordPress Panel for this Subdomain?
  It’s not a DNS propagation because I waited for 24h.

  Hi, @callitsupport!

  These forums are specifically for questions regarding WordPress.com, which is a hosted service. Your question relates to a self-hosted WordPress site, which would be better suited for the WordPress.org support forums, which are here: https://wordpress.org/support/

  Good luck! :)
