duplicate wordpress installations in my public_html dir

    When I updated my plugins about a week ago users started having problems logging in to the site – they were being redirected to the wrong page. Ordinarily I can fix problems like this in the dashboard. But I went to investigate my files at the server and found that there were 3 different sets of wordpress files. Really, I only installed one. the directory structure looks like this:
    public_html
    wordpress (and files)
    wordpress (and files) <– this directory has the most recent files
    wordpress (and files)

    I have no idea how the other files got into my directory tree. I think I can experiment with a local version of that 3 wordpress tree to delete all but the recent files, but I am worried about whether one of my plugins could have done this. Any helpful ideas of where to look?

    Your website’s WordPress installation path is /public_html/wordpress/

    You can remove the other WordPress installations but make sure you BACKUP everything first.

    Some staging plugin could create a copy of your WordPress installation. But a plugin does not take action unless you ask it to.
