  • I think you’re going to have to move the wp installation to a subdirectory.

    The WordPress installation includes an index.php file and that is either taking precedence over your previous default file, or possibly even overwritten it.

    Thank you Matt, will give this a try first thing tomorrow & let you know.

    The result.
    Followed instructions carefully & it crashed. Some about error 500 and exceeding access more than 10 times?
    5 hours later, My website (open4writing.com) loads, but I cannot access my blog directly or via /wp-admin.
    Returns the website each time.

    I have named the separate folder ‘myblog’ – placing the folder here – /htdocs/myblog, presumably meaning open4writing.com/htdocs/myblog when using Filezilla?

    I have noticed an index.php file in the htdocs directory, but no index file in the myblog directory. Perhaps I left it behind in the transfer process.

    I have not, as yet, read any files with any HTML program.
    What am I missing?

    The link on your website goes to /my-blog, not /myblog so make sure you have the right directory.

    Go back through the instructions for moving the blog. You do need to have the WordPress index.php file in you blog directory.

    Problems SOLVED.
    With the patience of the good people at Fasthosts.com & a smidgen of determination on my part, the incorrect website loading has now been resolved.A special thanks to all those that came to the party on this forum.
