    Hey guys,
    I recently took over working on a real estate website and I’m trying to access the files via FTP, the wp-content file is there but when I go to open it there is nothing there. I’ve tried on both coreftp and filezilla thinking it was hidden or something. Still no luck, I’d love to start working on the child theme also but can’t find it either.
    Any help would be very grateful!
    Thank you!

    Take a look in wp-config.php to see if there is a define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', 'path/to/content') directive present that would have been used to move it elsewhere. If so, you should be able to track it down with the info present in it.

    I can’t even find the wp-config.php..

    If you don’t see it in the root WP directory (which is the default location), it’s possible that wp-config.php has been moved to the directory directly above that.

    (Sorry, I’m not sure how to make a picture show up \: )

    I’ve opened all directories and they’re mostly all empty

    If that first image is everything in that directory, that isn’t a WP installation. Look in public_html/ or www/ for the WP files, or for a wp/, wordpress/, or blog/ directory (or something similar) inside public_html. Failing that, contact your hosting provider and let them locate it for you.
