Installing WordPress with an existing at&t hosting plan

  • Hi my church is trying to upload wordpress on the server but we are having problems. My question is 2 part. We have tried to install wordpress 2 different ways. We want to use wordpress to run our website and we keep getting stuck at the point after we connect to the server through filezilla. We don’t have a public.html folder to put the WP files in. We don’t even know if it ever existed. Is there a way around this? We are inheriting this from someone else.

    ATT had a way that we could install wordpress in their panel and it seemed to work but we need to remove the /wordpress from the web url. Is there a way to do that.

    Please someone help.
    Thanks

    Hi we used these instructions…We used Filezilla and at part 4 we keep getting stuck. We are new at this and of course clueless, but we followed the instructions. We connected to the server and pulled the files over into a file in filezilla.. but when we did step 6 to check it, there was nothing there..

    Here are the steps we got stuck at:

    Upload the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server:
    If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. https://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.
    If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. https://example.com/blog/), create the blog directory on your server and upload WordPress to the directory via FTP.
    Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in a web browser.
    If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: https://example.com/wp-admin/install.php
    If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: https://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php
