Ho Toherangi,
Thanks for replying.
I don’t have any pages in the main directory, I have more than one site, each in its own subfolder. One of my sites, redsandstonehill is the one I’m currently converting to WP. Another folder contains the original pages of that site; my own html & css. Plus another subfolder with another unrelated site in it. 3 folders in all.
My domains are registered with a UK company called Just the Name (been with them for years now) they have a control page where you write in the address of the folder containing your site.
Does this make sense? Would installing WP in the main directory really make a difference to my problem?
Cheers
Barry
