Trying to remove wp from my domain url

First. restore all files and folder using FTP. Then see Giving WordPress Its Own Directory.

I have tried to set up a new directory in the public_html folder. I called it https://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk/wordpress but although I name it this it actually shows up as https://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk without the wordpress on the end.
Am I doing this right.
I really need someone who is prepared to talk me through this step by step as I’d like to master it myself if posss.

You need to restore the site in the original /wp subfolder.

Okay
1. I have deleted it from the public-html folder

2. I have reinstated the original that i backed up to the www. This is where it was originally. In there I have

www
Basic
cgi-bin
wp ….which is where my wp folders are now.

Please could you possibly help with what to do next?

Firefox can’t find the server at https://www.karenmcilwriath.co.uk.

sorry spelling mistake
https://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk
a is before the i

I can’t see any problems with that site.

I have had to reinstall the whole thing and start from scratch .

I could not sort this out any other way as I am not confident in what I am doing.

Before I start to work on the site again I just have one more problem which I had posted in a new post but asked to post here instead.

If I go to

https://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk I am taken to my manage my hosting login screen

if I go to

karenmcilwraith.co.uk it takes me to the site which is correct.

However I want to be able to type in https://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk and be taken to the site and don’t know how to sort this.

I want to sort this out before I start editing the site as I have already lost all my work once.

Thanks

https://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk/ is working just fine for me.

I am using chrome and it is not working on my pc.

I have just tried using internet explorer and I am getting directed to the artificer theme for wordpress instead of the hosting company…so that’s something.

However I’ve noticed that if I type the https://www.karenmc….etc address into the address bar it then jumps to the address https://karenmcil…..etc

Is it okay for me to continue on this basis as the other sites I look at just keep the https://www. address and don’t jump like this.

Also one other question can anyone recommend a book or a site where I can learn how to use the whole ftp and control panel of a website and what all the directories are for. At the moment I am trying to learn by trial and error and its not ideal.

I know I will be fine once I start on artificer as I had a half decent looking site before I lost it all!!

It’s fine. Your site is using https://karenmcilwraith.co.uk/ and your hosts are taking care of all calls to https://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk/ by redirecting them to your site. There is nothing to worry about.

Your hosts are the best people to ask about this. most host have a knowledge base that you can use. In the meantime, https://blackwidows.co.uk/clients/imp-guide/ftp/ has a general introduction to FTP.
