Do you have ftp access to the site? if so upon FTPing into the site you should see a top level WordPress folder then sub folders and files ending in .php the first file you see should be index.php this is the index Google is referring to

To self host you’ll need a server capable of a Apache, Mysql (or other databases) and PHP. Who are you hosting with?

Okay, just making sure this wasn’t an error, I’d contact your hosting provider and ask if there is an outtage, everything you’ve told me points to the fact that WordPress SHOULD be up and running. If I had to guess they’re having an issue with Apache’s htaccess and that folder.

Please keep us up to date and good luck working with your provider!

Whats this WordPress 1 folder? Is this something you created or has it always been there?

The install folder should be WordPress (top level) then under this you should have wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes and a bunch of php files starting with index.php and ending with xmlrpc.php.

If you can confirm that we will know the directory structure is correct.

Just wondering is your url overthinking.co.uk? I just tried the URL, has your wordpress install folder been moved or deleted during the clean up process you were doing?

Forgive the questions I’m trying to get a good feel for whats happened,

So I understand you can’t get to the login through https://www.mysite.com/wp-admin

During the file cleanup did you move any substantial folders? wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes?

I would use .htaccess rewrite to edit the url. You can google how to do this, assuming you’re using apache and have access to these settings on your server a quick google of “Hide directory with apache” should give you some useful information.

Can you see the wp-admin folder from a FTP client?

I know the pain ptocco,

I had a co-worker whom I was training wipe out a database while attempting to move a site off of our dev server. Happened the day before Christmas holiday. Luckily I did have a fairly recent backup….

Do you know if it’s refereing to the index.php that is the WordPress root folder on the server?

It may have setup under root, try root and your password you used.

Ah, I put my right below the comment section before the first function listed. I know sometimes placement determines at what time the function is loaded, perhaps give that a try?

Hi cessanfrancisco, during the LAMP package install Mysql or whatever database you went with should have asked you to create a username and password for it.

If you’re on Mysql you could try running this command in the terminal;

#mysql_secure_installation

Yeah worked no problem. Glad webbrewers fix helped you out! Just curious did you place it close to the top of your functions.php page?
