• What exactly are the wordpress core files? I’m sorry but i have looked through some of the troubleshooting and still don’t understand. I am trying to put wordpress and all the admin files in one directory and the website in another. In my xampp folder i got another folder named htdocs and is that where all the core files are?

    Thanks 🙂

  • Core files are all files in wp-admin, wp-includes, and the list of files within the wordpress folder. Pretty much everything except the wp-content folder….

    I put the files all in the wordpress folder but if i keep the wp content folder in the root i get a black page on my site. I’m really having trouble understanding this since im a first timer. The reason im trying to do all this is because when i would login to my wepage and go to wp-admin login screen when i would login it would redirect me to the same login page and i could have never went to the options. I noticed it works if i put localhost:8080 as wordpress adress and http://myhomepage.servebbs.com:8080 (which is the redirected site from myhomepage.go.dyndns.org because my isp blocked port 80.)The problem with that is when people would try to connect from the internet there was no theme to the page. It was black and white writing. Looks like this..

    Any suggestions? Thanks

    All your wp folders and files need to reside together generally.
