 * thank you Jan,
 * I was locked out of my wordpress so I’ve regained access although I can’t change
   my user name now 🙁 but the File Manager folder and the Duplicator are worrying
   me as I’m not sure what to do with them. Should I just delete them?

 * Thank you Accu 🙂 I did all that again and still didn’t work, I’m afraid.
 * I ended up downloading a search and replace tool from the Internet and that did
   the trick. it was very easy and the only issue was the cache plugin that I ended
   up deactivating for the process to complete.
 * Thanks for your help 🙂

 * yes the subdirectories are working fine but now I want subdirectory Staging2 
   to become main directory but can’t get the site to redirect 🙁 that is why im
   getting all those errors.
 * I copied the index.php and htaccess to public_html and changed index.php as advised
   in the article but can’t get it to work… Is line 17 supposed to have the name
   of my site instead of wp-blog-header.php’

 * that is the whole code for staging 2 index.php which is the same as the html 
   one. It is also the same as the original wordpress one which I downloaded this
   morning. I can’t see any differences, can you?

 * thank you Accu.
 * I’ve done it (I think) but now I get this error code:
    Warning: require_once(/
   home1/ab36459/public_html/admin.php): failed to open stream: No such file or 
   directory in /home1/ab36459/public_html/index.php on line 11
 * I’m using a theme that I bought from a third company do you think that could 
   be the issue?
 * thanks

 * Hi thank you for replying.
 * This is what it looks like at the moment:
 * /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
    require( dirname( __FILE__).‘/
   wp-blog-header.php’ );
 * ?>
 * thanks
