also, “/main” is a folder for a Drupal backend

Basically, I have a “/wp” folder. Within here, I can see the index.php file and htaccess file these instructions want me to copy from my wordpress directory into my root directory, I just don’t see a root directory (or synomous language) folder. Thus, I’m stuck. Is it possible for my WordPress directory folder to be the same thing as my root directory folder?

Alright, just to make sure. I have FTP access, and the folder with all of my WordPress content, admin, and includes, is called “/wp”. There is no folder above this one. In other words, when the instructions state, “Copy (NOT MOVE!) the index.php and .htaccess files from the WordPress (wordpress in our example) directory into the root directory of your site—the latter is probably named something like www or public_html” I don’t see a “www” or “public_html” folder. I just have my “/wp” folder. Is this my root too? It’s already in there. I don’t know where to paste it.. I have a screenshot but I don’t know how to share it. In other words, what is my subdirectory and what is my root directory?

also, I know this is probably unorthadox, but if you have Team Viewer installed I can link you to my computer. (I’m simply interested in learning this as well, so I don’t repeat these mistakes). In other words, I’m online, I can continue following this thread, or, if you have Team Viewer, I can Team View. Please let me know. Thanks again for the quick reply.

Thank you so much. I’m back to square one. Okay, so, first things first. I have FTP access. I don’t know what folder is my root folder. I can see the htaccess file and index.php files though within my “/wp” folder my host set up for me for WordPress. Outside (or up one level) from here, there aren’t any folders that I think are the root. In other words, where do I copy these files?

ClaytonJames,

thanks for the quick reply. I actually just contacted my host, I didn’t set up an ftp client on my end, but I explained the issue, and gave him the (pre-modified main-footer-footer php file), and hopefully that will fix it. I’ll update this thread if it does.. it’s just a bummer how touchy the css is… on the other hand, I should learn more and thus should’ve know better haha… again, I’ll update this thread if that fixes it… thanks for the quick response..
