 * Dear all,
 * Since I started to use WordPress, I updated my pages. They are published. The
   problem I faced:
    1. They were published with .php for example: [https://www.cambridgepolaris.com/contact-us/](https://www.cambridgepolaris.com/contact-us/)
 * 2. The .php page still there. How could I deleted them? or update new wordpress
   pages to replace them?
 * I am a novice amateur user.
 * Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremove-php-pages%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * This Home.php is not part of an WordPress-Installation. It looks to me like you
   have WordPress installed alongside a previous website in the same directory of
   your hosting. You would have to remove the files of this previous site from your
   hosting via FTP. Here you can find some information about working via FTP: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/)–
   if you have further questions about this, contact your hoster.
 * Important: pay attention to what you delete via FTP. You are not allowed to remove
   any part of WordPress – only the files from the previous web. It may be worthwhile
   to make a backup of everything beforehand.

    But I am still
   confused. It is not file, but pages designed using other webpage designer software(
   similar to WordPress). But my hosting (justhost) removed them and moved everything
   to WordPress. so, all my previous pages with (dot)php remained in the web, as
   well as all new pages imported/edited/published by WordPress.

 * If your hoster has helped you with the changeover, you must contact them for 
   a solution. The accessibility of the files of the previous CMS has nothing to
   do with WordPress as software, nor can WordPress control this.

    Sorted out by
   the help of the hosting – via C-panel file manager!
