The answer depends on why are you moving the folder.
If you just need to folder to be moved but leave the URLs the same then you will need to adjust yout apache/nginx config files to point to the right directory when serving a request for a url of the type /wp-content/...
If you need to adjust the url as well then you need to also define appropriate WP_CONTENT_URL

I can set the WP_CONTENT_URL but I am not sure how to do that. WP_CONTENT folder is not inside wordpress installation,it somewhere else in filesystem. Oct 29, 2015 at 13:33

If the directory is not accessable from outside by a url then you need to change your webserver config. Oct 29, 2015 at 13:50

Can you please share what changes I need to make in NGINX configuration..? Nov 10, 2015 at 16:20
Create a folder as blog.
put wp-contant folder in blog folder.
define this line in config.php
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy bloggin.! */
define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname(FILE) . '/blog/wp-content' );
wp-config.phpdid you add yourdefine()line? It needs to go before the/* That's all, stop editing! Happy bloggin.! */line. See wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/103945/… .
