I installed wordpress twice

  • I used installatron to set up my wordpress blog. Later I hadn’t realise that I already did this and I installed wordpress as well as a plug in. So now I have two separate websites. One is under stxph.com and then another under stxph.com/blog/ . When you enter my website I can’t find a possible way to getting to the second version (which I have set the theme pretty much exactly the same to) without typing the URL into a browser, but still I know that it is there and it is seeming like an issue to me. Any recommendations? What can I do to fix this and just end up with one.

  • Hello, stxphxnie, & welcome. Much depends on what you wish to do here. I personally see no need for 2 separate installations, as you can have a blog on your main site, but that’s just me.

    I guess the major questions here are what you actually want to do w/the 2nd installation, &, if not, whether there’s any content on the blog site you wish to transfer to the main 1. It is an easy task to add a link to your main site’s menu (Appearance>Menus>links’) if that is your pleasure.

    Let us know how you wish to proceed, & either I or another capable volunteer will help as soon as we’re able.

    Hi Jackie,
    I think the best option is probably just to delete the second website.

    Hello, stxphxnie. Most of these installer applications have a facility where you can remove installations as well as install new websites. I don’t use the particular one you referenced, but you can generally go in, pick a site from a dropdown list, & select remove. It is irreversible, as generally these nuke not only the files, but also the associated database as well. But you should read any instructions your installer provides to see if that is indeed the case.

    Your other option is to simply use your hosting file manager or an FTP client & delete the /blog folder. You’ll then have to go into your control panel’s database applet & delete the associated database.

    HTH. Let us know if you have additional questions or require further assistance.
