I got to updating the permalinks settings and then got the following message at the bottom of the permalinks screen:

“If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.”

Where do I find the .htaccess file? I cannot find anything with that name in the root directory where I’ve moved all of the core WP files.

Thank you again for your assistance.

esmi, thank you for your assistance.

I’ve been able to restore the folders and have attempted to move wordpress to the root directory. I’m not sure what’s missing but the site is not being configured as it should. I took the following steps:

1. Moved all files and folders from /wordpress/ subdirectory to root folder (httpdocs).
2. Exported database in myPHPAdmin and updated all instances of url to reflect new location in root.

Would be grateful if you or anyone could take a look.

Thank you.

Thank you WPyogi. Of course, the solution is easier than I was making it out to be.

Caveat also noted. I will investigate using child themes and/or custom CSS in conjunction with themes.

If you could suggest links to the appropriate resources, I would be very appreciative.

Thanks again.
