WordPress installed in a separate directory

    Hi
    For security I have installed WordPress in a different directory from the root.

    But this is causing problems with Gravity Forms when I try and preview a form and also when editing which fields are shown in the Entries table.

    Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

    Thanks
    Rich

    Just to clarify my above post, the link to the preview form is:

    http://localhost/mydirectory/?gf_page=preview&id=4

    When it should be like this:
    http://localhost/?gf_page=preview&id=4

  3. Can you post a screenshot of your Settings > General page (http://localhost/mydirectory/wp-admin/options-general.php) where the WordPress address and Site Address are set?

    Have you followed these instructions?

    Thanks for the prompt reply Chris,

    My Settings > General settings are as follows:
    WordPress Address (URL): http://localhost/mydirectory
    Site Address (URL): http://localhost

    My permalinks are set like this:
    Custom Structure is selected and this is the value: /%postname%

    Yes, I have followed the instructions on the codex.

    Cheers
    Rich

  5. Did you remove or modify the index.php from the root folder?

    What actually happens when you try to preview a form or edit an entry?
