I'm about to switch my current HTML website to WordPress. My website has been up since 2006. I think my situation is pretty standard. Here are the main details of the transition:
My current site is in the
/public
folderMost pages have
.php
extensionThe WordPress folder is
/clickandbuilds/mywebsite
(WordPress.org, hosted by 1&1)I'll also need to do 301 redirects for all
.php
pages to the WP pages
Is it safe to just switch my domain from the /public folder to the WordPress folder once everything is ready? I assume it's a standard procedure - but I'm not 100% sure.
