 * Hi [@happyherbalcare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/happyherbalcare/)
 * That is not a fun experience. Does it happen when you try to install any plugin?
 * I do have to ask the question of whether or not you know how to FTP to your site?
   One other question that does come to mind also is: who is your host? I ask only
   because most hosting companies will provide some sort of cPanel where you could
   upload files/folders to the site.
