When I tried to remove the redirect, it wouldn’t let me. I got an error saying it couldn’t open the htaccess file…I didn’t clone anything yet. I tried to move the files before, but it didn’t work so I moved them back, but I left the index.php and htaccess files in the original folder, and changed the index.php,so maybe that’s why it didn’t work?

and, which directory? the wp directory where i’m cloning it from?

which one is the domain file? sorry for all of the noob questions, but, i am new to all of this…and thank you for trying to help me ??

yes, but where do i clone the files to? as of right now, wp is in the public_html file, so would i just clone it to the home file instead?

would it be easier for me to just reinstall wp to it’s own directory? i’ve already made a back up of my site just in case anything went wrong.

is this what i need to do? https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/cpanel/softaculous/cloning-your-site

by clone do you mean copy? and you mean from my public_html to my home right?

i tried moving all of the files to a new folder before, but it didn’t work, but if cloning is different than i will try it. and i didn’t know that my wp should’ve been in it’s own directory until after i had already installed it…i did a 1 click install through my host. this is a learning process i guess lol

also, i don’t see a home.html or index.html anywhere

ok, so i found the redirects, there’s only one so, for domain: ALL, directory: / redirect url: /wp/ type: permanent is this what i need to change or turn off? because when i tried, i got this error message:Could not open htaccess file /home/****/public_html/.htaccess
the stars are my cpanel name…

ok, so i found out where the redirect option is in cpanel, but for some reason, i don’t have it or i’m not seeing it at least.

this is the only thing in my htaccess file in my public_html:RedirectMatch ^/$ /wp/ is this what you’re talking about? i don’t understand what you mean by domain level…sorry, i am totally new to all of this.

ok, i tried it again and all it did was take me to the url with /wp at the end of it again and give me the 404 error for my wp-admin page. this is really starting to be frustrating lol i’ve been trying to get this to work for the last 3 days with no luck

ok, so i changed both and it didn’t work, after i changed it i couldn’t log onto my wp-admin page, i got a 404 error and the site wasn’t visible either. so, to be clear, i change the site url and home url right? and my site is https://www.girlspeaksgeek.com but when you type it in it will take you to https://www.girlspeaksgeek.com/wp

Yes it is. And I also Google it and followed the instructions from other people and it all says pretty much the same thing. I change my site url in the settings, and then it says site can’t be found, like it should, I copy the folders so I can change the directory in the php, copy back into the public_html and then when I go to see if it worked it still has the /wp on the url…except for when I moved the wp files into a different folder, when I did that I couldn’t get back to my wp-admin page, but I fixed that by moving everything back. But I make sure I save the changes in the settings for the url and the permalinks too. I don’t get what I’m doing wrong.
