.htaccess remove subdirectory name from all URLs

I was digging the net and haven't found any proper solution for this issue. Basically, I want to remove subdirectory (subdirname) name from all URLs, e.g.:

http://test.com/subdirname/
http://test.com/subdirname/content/
http://test.com/subdirname/content/newpage

The website is based on Wordpress and located in /subdirname. I've got two .htaccess files, one in root directory:

# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On

# Installation directory
RewriteBase /

# Protect hidden files from being viewed
<Files .*>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny From All
</Files>

# Protect application and system files from being viewed
RewriteRule ^(?:application|modules|system)\b.* index.php/$0 [L]

# Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/var|/static)
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/index\.php|/var|/static)

# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?test\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/subdirname/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdirname/$1 [L]

and second in /subdirname/ directory:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subdirname/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /subdirname/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

If anyone has some tips how to solve it, please advice.

You should be able to set up WordPress to display at your root domain but be installed in the subdirectory. Just change ONLY the site URL under the Settings-> General screen. Leave the subdirectory in the WordPress URL box. Then you would login at http://yoursite.com/subdirectory/wp-admin, but folks visit your site at http://yoursite.com.
