Okay so I totally misunderstood where to put the .htaccess and index.php. I just put them in public_html and the site works perfectly! Thanks everyone for your help. I am very happy about this.

I installed it using the user friendly version that bluehost gave. I don’t know beyond that, but the file that everything was in for my wordpress site was in public_html.

Ok so I’m still at a loss. The file I want to use for my site is called “cfp”, and the file where the site originally was, is called “crossfitpegasusch”. Now I copied the files and moved them from “crossfitpegasusch” to “cfp” and changed the index.php to point to “cfp”. So the originals are still in the original file of the wordpress site. Is there anywhere else that these files need to go? Like I said the admin works perfectly fine, but I always get a 404 error when I try to view the site.

Also I copied all the other wordpress files as well. Should I delete all the ones in the original folder?

What would point my server in the right direction to read all the files for my site?

Thanks so much for all your help. I know this may be frustrating to try an explain to a newbie. I really appreciate it!

*cannot change the WordPress URL or site URL.

Site URL is crossfitpegasus.ch. But here is the weird thing, I now cannot the WordPress URL or the site URL. That just started to happen. When the codex says, copy index.php and .htaccess to blog address, where is that? I think I may have gone wrong there. Where do I find the blog address, is it in myphpadmin or my file manager?

I believe that I correctly placed the .htaccess file, but I didn’t edit it. And the Index file I’m sure I followed everything. I copied it and edited it to point to the file I had created in public_html where I had moved everything for my wordpress site. Origianlly I tried to do all of this with Filezilla but all the tutorials I found were far to confusing. So I simply put my website into a .zip, and moved it to the new location.

I just want to know, if I can get into my admin area, what is stopping my website from working? Is it a problem with what I did in my file manager? Or Server? Or WordPress? That would be great if I could know which area to focus on.
