Point domain name to a folder directory with WordPress


I installed my Wordpress site to a subdirectory in my root directory. The reason is that I don't clutter my root directory. So I was looking for ways to point my home site's URL (www.duotales.com) to a subdirectory where WordPress installation of this site is located. I used these steps outlined in this blog and it worked like a charm. 

In your public_html folder (also called the “root html” folder), you need to create a file called .htaccess. From this file we are going to use a few lines to redirect those requests in a search engine friendly way.
Add the following lines to that file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?YourDomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ blog [L]

The only change you need to make is to change “YourDomain.com” to your domain. This will then redirect everything from the domain to the folder /blog at that domain. If you want to change that folder just edit the “blog” part.

Also if you are looking how to move a root install in it's own directory, or how to use pre-existing directory to install this WordPress article is useful.

How to export issues, backlog to file in Jira Next-Gen software project

Image
I am using Jira next-gen for my project and I created a backlog (roadmap) and the board. My developers found it is time-consuming to go thru each of the items, click on the issue, comment then click on another one.. They wanted to see all of them in the file. Apparently it is not very straightforward and I wish Jira developers simplified it by making an Export button at the top of the right corner. Here is how to do it.  When you are in the Next-Gen Project go to Filters - Advanced Issue Search Add caption Then filter for what you would like to export and then in the upper right corner click on Export button and choose what format you would like.
