I installed wordpress in /wp/ directory. So in my blog every URL had /wp/ in it. I followed multiple articles(1,2) and was able to remove the 'wp' from URLs.
before - example.com/wp/post-1-name
after - example.com/post-1-name
In permalink settings I have selected -
post name - http://example.com/sample-post/
Now every url I open do not have /wp/ in it. Except front page.
In 'reading settings' I also set the 'front page display' to 'a static page' and selected lets say 'Introduction' as the front page.
When I open urls in browser all urls except home page (example.com) works fine but when I open homepage or click on the page url of "introduction" page (which is static front page), a message is shown -
This Website is Under Construction.
Come Back Soon.
Going to http://example.com/wp/ shows 'not found' page.
In my general settings -
WordPress Address (URL) -> http://example.com/wp
Site Address (URL) -> http://uptuplacements.com
