Click on My cPanel. If you have more than one domain associated with your HostPapa account, click on the appropriate domain link, then enter your cPanel password if required.
From the Files section, click on File Manager icon.
Replacing the WordPress core files:
First, downloaded a fresh copy of WordPress to your computer and unzipped it.
Being as there are may be other files that are not a part of WordPress, I will list the exact files and folders to replace.
The files/folder you will NOT replace:
– wp-content folder
– htaccess (if one is there)
– wp-config.php
Do not rush doing this!!
Next, you will first delete all the following and then upload new, one folder or file at a time:
– wp-admin folder
NOT wp-content folder
– wp-includes folder
– the following files only:
index.php
wp-activate.php
wp-blog-header.php
wp-comments-post.php
NOT wp-config.php
wp-cron.php
wp-links-opml.php
wp-load.php
wp-login.php
wp-mail.php
wp-settings.php
wp-signup.php
wp-trackback.php
xmlrpc.php
There will be a “wp-config-sample.php” in the fresh WordPress. Do not upload this.
This will replace your WordPress files without losing content.
Check your site and post back here with your results. I will be monitoring this thread for your reply.
