so before i buy i want to make sure that i know everything involved with the below info.

right now the site i do web and graphic work on uses wordpress. as you all know that script is cpu intensive even before adding a lot of plugins (like we have).

what i would like to do is install vb to a directory like /public_html/vbulletin-folder
once everything is setup and looks great move the wordpress to something like /public_html/wordpress (just so if anything goes wrong i can move it all back)

if that part is done, can i simply move all of the files and folders from /public_html/vbulletin-folder to /public_html or would i need to edit code anywhere?

i just about have the people that own the site talked into buying the full blown vbulletin with the cms/blogs/mobile.
also know that this could have been posted on the .com site but figured if things need modded you grand masters of coding would be a better option to ask.

No modifications are required, there's a setting in the control panel to dictate the board path.

is that something you change before moving the files or after?

[Thunderbird8]

In my experience, you could do it either way, though it is best to turn it off if you're going to be moving it around the server until it's in the new place and the setting has been corrected.

You should do the change to the forumurl setting BEFORE moving the files else you may not be able to log into the forum after the files have been moved.

If the files are already in the public_html don't move anything, simply rename the files.

theres nothing on there yet, but we will want seamless swap from wp to vb.
when the time comes i'll change the url path and then move it to the top dir.
thanks everyone for the speedy info
