How to Move a WordPress Blog to Root
1. Back up all existing files on your server. Pay particularly close attention to existing files in your root directory that share the same name as files in the WordPress subfolder.
2. Log in to your blog. Click 'Administration' and then click 'Settings.' Click 'General' and enter the new location of your blog in the 'WordPress Address' box. When moving to the root directory, this should be the top-level domain with a trailing slash (Ex: http://www.mysite.com/).
3. Enter the same URL in the 'Blog Address' box and click 'Save Settings.'
4. Log in to your server with your desired FTP client. When connected, navigate to the folder on your server where WordPress files are currently located. This should be within a subfolder of your root directory.
5. Cut and paste all files and folders from the WordPress subfolder to the root directory. If you experience any overwrite warnings, allow the FTP software to overwrite existing files as you already have a back up copy of all old files.
6. Go back to your WordPress administration interface and log in if necessary. Click 'Administration,' 'Settings,' 'Permalinks' and update your WordPress permalink structure if you modified it with your previous WordPress installation.
7. Click 'Settings' and click 'Media.' Verify that the 'Store Uploads Folder' feature is set to place new uploads in the new folder location and not the old location within the subfolder. Update this information as necessary.
8. Click on the title of your website at the top of the Administration interface to be taken directly to your blog homepage. Verify that your blog loads from the new URL. You have now moved WordPress to the root.
