 * Hello all,
 * I have my wordpress site up and running with softaculous, but I seem to be having
   trouble changing my webiste address… I installed all my files in example.com/
   wp to keep things tidy in my files directory. However I do not want my website
   address to be example.com/wp. I would like it to be exmaple.com.
 * I try to change this in the wordpress admin options, but I might be changing 
   the wrong thing because when I make this change I cannot et back into my site.
   Any help please.
