Theme Issue with Sub-Domain

    I have installed wordpress to a sub-directory (domain/wp), and followed the instructions in the “pre-existing sub-directory” section of this link:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

    However, I am now playing around with different themes and have noticed that the domain has stopped working. Do I need to copy the index.php and .htaccess files each time I update the theme?

    Thanks

    No need to copy the files again.
    More likely that the theme is broken, or not completely installed. The way out of this is to access your website using either FTP or your website hosting management file manager, and rename the theme directory, this will disable it and throw you back to the default theme. Then you can login and try another theme, or do some debugging.

    It seems that wp-admin, wp-content (which contains the plugins and themes) and wp-includes are all installed twice… once in public_html/wp/ and once in the root public_html directory.

    Some themes and plugins are in one folder, some are in the other…

    Do you recommend that I uninstall WordPress completely and start again?

    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, Uninstalling, deleting files, deleting databases and starting again is a good idea. I did that a few times when I was getting started.
