  Hi,

  My website is hosed on GoDaddy and I have installed the WordPress plugin. I originally installed it in a directory called ‘blog’ but have since moved it to ‘raptorblog’. so the site is http://www.neonraptorbrewingco.com/raptorblog

  I deleted the old ‘blog’ folder in the ‘public_html’ folder but it re-appears with a ‘wp-content’ subfolder and then a few date subfolders which are all empty. I want to use the /blog address on the website but it is conflicting with the ‘blog’ folder. Do you know why it keeps reappearing? How can I stop it from being auto created?

  Any help would be great.

  Thanks.

  Hey there,

  Since your site is hosted on GoDaddy, you are using the self-hosted version of WordPress.
  This forum is dedicated to WordPress.com hosted sites only.
