Wordpress url query

We have a domain blog.domainname.com

After installation the admin url is: blog.domainname.com/wordpress/wp-admin

What I'd like to know is if the /wordpress/ should be there?

Seems like you uploaded a sub-directory /worpdress/ to a sub domain . If you want a a true URL path like so blog.domainname.com/wp-admin , you will need to move all files from the WordPress directory to the root directory.

Then open your themes functions.php file and add the following code just after <?php

update_option('siteurl','http://blog.domainname.com/wp-admin'); update_option('home','http://blog.domainname.com/wp-admin');

Then go to the home page , once you have verified the paths are correct remove the update_options from the functions.php file.

From that url, have you put all of WordPress in a folder called WordPress?
