are you ona shared host or a VPS

when peoploe talk about the root folder . they mean the one the that your domain starts at . ie where the home page is.
via FTP, for me that equates to httpdocs folder for others public_html (and many others )

so yif say your homepage is aindex.php or index.htm, then find the homepage location and that is where the phi.ini should be

can you post a link to your website

google
website monitoring free

https://www.serviceuptime.com/free_monitoring.php
https://www.serviceuptime.com/psc/index.php

in the dashboard, under appearance, click on the evolve settings and you can customise the look

FWIW, I recently only fixed my email notifications by adding and alias for [email protected] to one of my mailboxes (as the email catch all wasn’t working on my domain)

I also installed wp-mail-smtp plugin which helps give you better control of how and where the emails are sent.

do you recieve any emails at all from the site?

what theme are you using?
