Those are the two I was using to try and make the change.
I am asking if the formatting being gone is a quick fix or do I need to undo my changes, bring the the site back to its former directory and try again. In which case, I wouldn’t know where to start.
First off check that the changes described in “Giving WordPress its own directory”, in the files .htaccess and index.php are correctly done.
Have a look at the pages from your website in your browser, which file paths are wrong ? This will give clues as to what needs changing.

So, I went through the directions on “Giving WordPress its own directory” and confirmed I followed them. Specifically I followed “Using a pre-existing subdirectory install” because WordPress was installed in a subfolder: public_html/eigopro.me
-Per the directions, I edited the site name on wordpress when I had access to the admin interface.
-I COPIED not moved the files index.php and .htaccess from their subfolder in: public_html/eigopro.me/wp to: public_html/eigopro.me
-I edited the index.php file to the following: require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wp/wp-blog-header.php’ ); which is the location for wp core files.
Next step says to access the permalinks but I cannot log into to the admin interface using the addresses from the tutorial and some others I found elsewhere.
Really need help. Been tweaking different things for over an hour, but the theme doesn’t load properly still and it looks like this:
http://eigopro.me/
You said:
because WordPress was installed in a subfolder: public_html/eigopro.me
BUT it really is at:
installed in a subfolder: public_html/wp

I’m super confused because I have folders called “wp” in two places. I edited the functions.php to sort of bring the site back to how it was. I have dashboard access now, but it displays page not found and my page links are not working. http://eigopro.me/wp/
My cPanel structure is like this:
public_html
/eigopro.me
//wp
/wp
In other words, the folder “wp” exists immediately when you open the public_html, along with folders eigopro.me and other websites.
When you open eigopro.me there is a folder in there called “wp” also.
But I am only working with the wp folder that is inside of the website I am working on, ie eigopro.me, right? I don’t really need that public_html/wp folder.
Thanks for sticking with me through this.
