| + | ===== How to Move GetSimple from one Folder to Another ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you want to move a GetSimple installation to another folder, there are at least three things you need to be aware of: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Go to the Admin panel and, in ''settings'', change the ''Website URL'', if needed; | ||
| + | - If you use Fancy URLs, you may need to manually edit the ''.htaccess'' file and correct the ''RewriteBase'' rule, otherwise you may get a 503 error when trying to access some pages in your site; | ||
| + | - If there are any images, files or links with relative or absolute paths, they might get broken. Please double-check your site to see if there's anything broken. | ||
