I have a website www.mcruiseon.com. I have added .htaccess to get all www.mcruiseon.com to redirect to www.mcruiseon.com/wordpress. But the 'wordpress' still shows up on my html link on browser. Can I hide the fact that the website is hosted under a folder wordpress ?

If understood correctly, you'll have to follow this Codex instructions: Using a pre-existing subdirectory install.

If you already have WordPress installed in its own folder (i.e. http://example.com/wordpress) then the steps are as follows:

If that's your case, you'll learn how to make WP work as if it were on the root, even being installed on a folder. If your actual .htaccess only have the redirection you mention, you can delete it, otherwise make a backup so you can merge it with the new one (from WordPress).

  1. Remove the custom redirection rule you said you added in your .htaccess file.

  2. In WordPress Dashboard > Settings > General > Site Address (URL) — change the URL to http://www.mcruiseon.com

  3. Read this for more info.
