I’m a novice so I don’t really know what that means. I have an iframe in their right now, which works although not ideal.
http://www.alicearlene.com
Following the guide above, you’ll be able to take the whole site at alicearlene.com/blog and put it at alicearlene.com instead.
Ok, I started the process you suggested. I got through step 6 which involves changing the addresses in the general settings. Now the site is kicking me out and when I type in the url to go to the login screen it takes me to this. So now I can’t even log back in to continue fixing this.
Secondly, where do I go to do this? “Move your WordPress core files to the new location. This includes the files found within the original directory, such as http://example.com/wordpress, and all the sub-directories, to the new location.”

Right, so now move on to step 7, which is “(Do not try to open/view your site now!),” then step 8, which is:

You’ll do that by access your server via FTP or SFTP or a file manager in your hosting provider’s control panel.
I apologize. Reading is not my problem. Understanding what these steps are communicating to me is the problem. I recognize that this is written for people who have more experience in and understand the language of websites, but as I’ve stated I am a novice.
Special FTP Accounts (Why?)
Type Username Path Usage / Quota Actions
alicear1 /home2/alicear1 0 / ∞ MB
NA Configure FTP Client
alicear1_logs /var/log/dom…ogs/alicear1 0 / ∞ MB
NA Configure FTP Client
I don’t know what to do with this information.
I don’t either, where are you getting that from?
In general, to access FTP, you first need an FTP client application. Here are some details and recommendations: https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients and consult the documentation for your chosen FTP client application.
Next, you need to ask your hosting provider about how you access your server via FTP. Typically this is either detailed in your hosting provider’s control panel or documentation. If not, contact your hosting provider.
My host is JustHost and they have a button that says FTP manager. When I click it, it has three levels: Add an FTP account, FTP Account and SFTP account. The information I copied was listed underneath the SFTP accounts. The first path is: /home2/alicear1 and the second path is: /var/log/dom…ogs/alicear1. I don’t know if this is what I am supposed to be looking for or not.
I’m honestly not sure either, sorry. I’ve never used JustHost.
I recommend contacting their support for details.
Is there a way to undo what i’ve done?
Yes, follow this guide to change it back in the database: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database
You’ll find phpMyAdmin in your hosting provider’s control panel.
