H, Thanks for your post!
Did it worked for you?
I have failed moving my shop from subfolder to the root.
The new installation was still pointing to the old folder. Maybe I was a single click from the success? I do not know. Hard for me to find out.
As far I have abandoned the idea to move, and I have put in place a landing page directing visitors to the shop.
My shop is running and I do not want to experiment to much having fear the shop will crush if I mess up the code.
Anyhow the problem is interesting so I'll test this on another server, just to learn how it works.
@Scott J, if you can share your experience it would be nice
Thanks!
