Accidentally changed directory of homepage. Can't log in to fix it.

    When I installed my theme and set everything up, it was installed to the ‘https://mywebsite.com/wp/’ directory. I didn’t like having the /wp/ so I found the option to change it, and deleted the /wp/ hoping everything I had on my theme and fully edited would show up whenever someone accessed ‘https://mywebsite.com’ instead. Once that change happened, it locked everything up and I can’t login anymore to fix it because it says it’s missing index.php. I tried copying the wp folder and it’s contents to my home directory on my web host, and also under public_html with no luck.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Aloha rtaylor90, It looks like you are working with a self-hosted WordPress.org site instead of the WordPress.com-hosted version supported here.

    Learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

    I would recommend searching on the WordPress.org support forums for similar issues. If you cannot find anything that works, you can start your own thread. The forums are completely separate from each other, so you will need to register an account there if you haven’t done so already.
