I’m pretty confident I should do the 302 redirect thing.
2. Bad links are bad but I read here to not do disavow, true?
A 302 is a temporary redirect, a 301 is what you need to use if your going to redirect from the root to your WP. However if it was me, I’d do the opposite.
Set up your WP installation on your root, then use the 301 redirect pointing your yourdomain.com/wp/ pages back to the same pages on your root. As far your first site. Just redirect everything to your base url.
This disvow is like a last resort. Kinda like putting your head between your knees and kissing your ass, when the plane your on drops out of the sky. Remember even if you use it, Google gives no guarantees it will honour your requests.
Though seeing what Google’s been up to lately, it will probably use this action to bend you over, even if it doesn’t physically remove the bad link juice.
