Changed URL on the now site not working

I Changed it on the setting in the dash board area.

It seems, your website Site URL refers to your root directory https://reefmaniacs.co.za/ and your wordepress currently installed in sub-directory.

You want to install WordPress in sub-directory? If yes, than you might need to follow this instructions https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

if someone can please help me i am not to sure what I am doing

no I dont want it in a sub-directory.

if you go here https://reefmaniacs.co.za/wp/ you will also see all the links are broken

my other option is to delete and start again. but i have spent so much time loading products and plug-ins i dont want to have to do that.

You do not need to delete just move wordpress from sub directory to root directory.

Using FTP or cPanel just move all the WordPress files from “wp” directory to “root” directory and after this, get in to the admin and reset the permalink structure.

i dont see root directory?

Root directory means when you connect to your server with FTP you will get list of directories like public_html, logs, mail, www and many more.

The public_html or www directory is your website root directory. You will find your WP directory under public_html. So Move files from WP directory to public_html directory.

However, naming of root directory is upto the server you are using and also it depends on how you have pointed your domain to specific directory on server.

oh ok, it is in the public_html and www directorys

Just move all the WordPress files from WP folder to public_html directory.

so after that, all your wordpress files will be there in public_html directory instead of WP sub-directory and your directory structure would be like this.

– public_html
— wp
— wp-admin
— wp-content
— wp-includes
— rest of the wordpress files

ok i see what you mean

I think your issue has been resolved now. I can see your site working fine now.
