 * Good morning,
    I moved my site to the root of my ISP (public_html), or put files
   index.php and. Htaccess in the root, all set up perfectly, after that I realized
   that the plugins do not work (??).
 * Can anyone help me?

 * Howdy,
    Did you make the proper changes to the index.php file that is now in 
   root?
 * Change the following and save the file. Change the line that says:
    `require('./
   wp-blog-header.php');` to the following, using your directory name for the WordPress
   core files: `require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');`

 * Freakingid Hello!
 * I do not think I was clear, sorry.
 * I did not put the folder ‘wordpress’ in the root of the ‘public_html’. I put 
   the files in the folder ‘wordpress’ in the root.
 * example:
 * _**+ public\_html**
    wp-admin wp-content wp-includes . htaccess 400.shtml 401.
   shtml 403.shtml 405.shtml 500.php 500.shtml error.log etc …
 * The issue is that I’m migrating my site from one provider to another provider.
   The problem is that I want to use a plugin maintenance ‘in order to make modifications
   to my subject without the user see what I’m doing.
 * The problem is that no plugin ‘works’ on my site. I’ve tested many plugins, but
   nothing works. Even earlier versions of wordpress installed without success.
 * I confess that I do not know what else to do.

 * Wow, that is strange.
 * 1. Can you visit your site at all now?
    2. Did you previously have the files 
   in /wordpress/ on the working site, and THEN moved them to the root? 3. These
   files are still on your original provider — not the one you’re moving to yet,
   right?
 * I can probably help you get it figured out. Just need to ask you the right questions,
   eh?
 * Let me know the above and we’ll go from there.

 * Answering your questions:
 * 1. Everything works on my site. Today I realized that plugins work. But plugins
   maintenance at the moment is what I need and no longer works.
    2. All files were
   installed wordpress in the root directly, did not transfer; 3. I left my files
   from another provider, I’m starting from scratch.
 * Note: The maintenance plugins do not work in earlier versions of wordpress.
 * It’s all very strange.

 * Apparently, the only solution that I have left, is to create a sub-domain to 
   make necessary modifications.

 * So, you have all the files from your OLD provider in the public_html root of 
   your NEW provider.
 * Can you see the site (as the public would view it?)
 * Can you log in to the backend? (/wp-admin/)
 * Can you manage any plugins at all?

 * Sorry the delay in response.
    I turned off my database, reinstalled everything
   again and went back to work. I think something was cached and hinder the operation
   of some plugins. All resolved. Thank you for your due attention.
 * Att,
