Oh just to clarify the duplicate directories are really just one directory with a symbolic link to another directory. Some hosting companies decide to use symbolic links with the shared directories in an effort to reorder the file system hierarchy. I’m not quite sure what you mean Dean by the image? If you are talking about the WordPress file structure, i think it is the same independent of what hosting company you use.

Thanks for the quick response. I was not aware that you could use multiple classes for one element. It looks like only some of the classes in the div have been defined in the style sheet. Maybe these classes are just created dynamically in the php and it is up to the dev if they want to define classes in the .css file.

That guide is very helpful. I was confused with how my hosting service’s directory hierarchy. Most directories are shared on the server. The only directory that is specific to wordpress is /home2/public_html which contains those top level folders:

wp-content (where themes, plugins and uploaded files live)
wp-admin (where all admin tools live)
wp-includes (where the code that runs it all lives)

Thanks for the speedy response. I hope this can help clear the confusion for some other devs new to WordPress.
