create new directory

You are missing a lot of things about how WP works.
You do not create any physical directories outside of your WP install. I mean you can – they just have nothing to do with WP.

So, don’t mess around with things that you don’t understand. Isn’t enough that your blog is screwed up because you played with the 2 URI values in the admin > Options > General?

Fix that, and after that come back and explain what is it what you’d like to do and we will help.
(Most likely you need to learn about the categories – it would result in exactly what you want!)

To fix the stylesheet issue:

follow the instructions.

OK. Thank you. Fixed that.
Should I delete the directory “reviews” under wordpress in filezilla?

Great. Now it looks much better ??

I am not sure what is what you’d like to do with that “review” directory.
If it is outside WP – you cannot make posts to “that directory” WP just doesn’t work like that.
All your posts go in a category. You could have a “review” category and post your reviews there.
Wouldn’t that work for you?

I’m thinking — about your suggestion. I don’t think that would work. I need a separate web page, still connected to my blog that will only show reviews. They should not be on https://www.susiej.com
rather on https://www.susiej.com/reviews

Well, if it is a “separate webpage” – then I guess you would need a second installation of WP in a subfolder named ‘reviews’.

But it cannot be really connected… except the links you create to each other.

OK, I see what you mean. I created a “directory” in filezilla like this

Go to the folder in filezilla that currently contains things like wp-admin,
wp-includes, wp-content etc – then right click, create directory – call it
reviews or whatever – then double click on the reviews folder to open it.

Then just download wordpress on your computer, open the wordpress folder,
select everything in it (ctrl-a is a good shortcut) then drag it into your
reviews folder in filezilla ?? If it asks you if you want to overwrite
something then STOP STOP STOP – means you’re accidentally dragging the files
into your existing blog directory.

That’s what I have now. — but I think I’m missing a step, because I cannot post from there. It says, file not found.

Well… close but not good enough ??

Forget the existing blog.
You created that new directory and upload the complete Wp package.
Follow the instructions:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_WordPress
You need the whole stuff: creating database, editing the config file, running the install etc.

(btw, I never drag anything – on rightclick it has an Upload menu)

Do I load the wordpress file into the directory “reviews”, under wordpress?

Now I am getting completely confused, sorry.
I am afraid to you will mess up your existing blog – so please, stop experimenting.

You are doing something very wrong: you are trying to connect two blog to the same database tables – and that won’t work.

It’s late here, if you want I can take a look at it tomorrow if you email me with the access info.

Sure — just tell me where to send it. I guess if you leave a comment on my blog, your email address would be private.
Thanks.
