I uploaded a backup of the site. Now nothing appears in the window. Looking at the files in FileZilla they all appeared to be in the correct place. So then I uploaded the current version again, but I’m getting the same result.

Do you have any idea what I can do?

My .htaccess page looks exactly like the code you gave me earlier. Should I leave the rewrite rule like this?
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Or should I put the complete URL in before the /

I re-uploaded the .htaccess page. I get a login page but it’s not centered as usual.
You can see: https://cicministries.org/wp-login.php

I experimented around to see if I could figure it out and ended up messing things up. In settings > General (I think?) and for the URL I changed it to cicministries.org/index.php. That didn’t work and now I can’t even login. I should’ve waited for your reply. Do you know what file I would have to open to change it back? Or what I can do?

Once I’m able to login I’ll go ahead and make your suggested changes.

II changed the permalinks to month and name; saved.
I went to the menu and removed the home link.
When I went to all pages, a Home page still existed so I deleted it.
I created a new Home page.
Still not working correctly. When I click on it from the main navigation it takes me to a blank page, not to the presentation “home” page that I want.

When I created the original home page it was working correctly until I moved the site from the “wordpress” folder to the root directory. After that, when I clicked on the link it was looking for the page in the “wordpress” folder.

To answer your second question, in Settings > Reading I have my home page set to “Your latest posts” otherwise the presentation page doesn’t show up.

I pasted the code just as you indicated. I also cleared my cache. I still cannot go back to home from another page using the home button. I looked again at the code in the .htaccess file. I thought perhaps I should’ve put in my URL, so I tried that.
RewriteRule cicministries.org/index.php [L]
Still not working correctly.

The home page is actually the theme’s presentation page. Initially I wanted “Home” to appear in the navigation so I added a page. I think I have to change the URL there, but I don’t know how.

https://www.cicministries.org

I moved everything as you suggested. When I opened the .htaccess file there was nothing in it. What should be edited anyway? The site is working now, with the exception of one problem. When I move off the home page to another page, and then click “Home” it tries to take me to the old address. I don’t know where to change that. I checked the settings and everything is as it should be there. Please advise.
