problem solved – I uploaded the theme again with file manager.

Thank you Evan, I think I will try the manual install.

I do know that a site I just completed put WordPress in its own directory uaing the one click installer. There was no existing site, but once my site was ready I had to copy the index.php and .htaccess files and make some changes, can’t remember exactly what I did, I followed instructions found online. Otherwise you couldn’t access the site with https://www.mydomain.com, you had to enter https://www.mydomain.com/wordpress. Which makes me think it does put it in a new directory. Does that make sense?

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response!

I created a new directory, but when I tried to install the app, it automatically added the /wordpress after the domain name. I tried entering “/new directory”, which is what I named the directory I created, and I got an error messaage.

How do I do a backup of the existing site? It is an html site – do I just copy all the files on the ftp and save them to my desktop? Do I have to do anything with the php files? This is where I get confused…
