I worked on a Website using HTML, CSS, and javascript, and the later is working on the web.
What I seek to do is working on a new version of the website using Wordpress with a template I purchased but at the same time, the old one stays on the time I finish the new one.
How can I access the /wp-admin page with this path on FileZilla?
The wp-admin is folder and in WordPress the same is accessible after authentication by the wp-login.php file in a browser.
In FTP you should access the wp-admin folder and check the index.php file or another file depending on what exactly is your purpose.
If I have understand your question wrong, please provide more information on the same, so I can review it once again.

I’ve read the WordPress Codex instructions regarding moving WordPress, but none of the information provided seems to apply to my exact situation and I have a couple of questions before I go and break things.
I have a main domain on which my old wordpress site is currently running (e.g - example.com) I wanted to change the layout of the website but at the same time wanted to keep my main site running so made a subdomain (beta.example.com) and created my new wordpress website on this.
Now I want to make my beta website the main website (i.e make beta.example as example.com) and remove the main website, how do I go about that?
I am using cpanel and both my folders are in the public html directory
Thanks in advance.
Step 1: Backup: Always backup the files / database of the site(s) you choose to work with
Step 2: Move files: Delete the contents of example.com's document root and move the contents of blog.example.com to example.com
Step3: Change home/site-url: The daabase mght have other hard coded urls too. So changing the home / site url alone will not be enough and a full database search-replace is needed.
I would not recommend using notepad++ or any text editor to change the website url as it has a great chance to break the layout of the website and I have seen it may times happen. I always use and recommend you to use the Database Search and Replace Script from here
Download the version 2.1.0 to the document root of the website as search.php
Now call the script via your browser (as domain.com/search.php). The script autopopulates the database details. The rest of the instructions there are self explanatory to follow.
Step 4: Finishing up: Check the .htaccess file that there are no redirects to the blog.example or similar redirects. If yes, remove them and replace with the default .htaccess wordpress rules.
That should do it.
Steps are below:-
Make a new folder into your root in Cpanel and move your old domain(example.com) files to the new folder as a backup
Move your subdomain (beta.example.com)folder's files into root in cpanel
rename your ht access file it will automatically created when your WordPress run into the browser.
Into your PHPMyAdmin create new database (like new_database)
Download your subdomain database and open it into editor something (like notpad++)
Into notpad++ press crt+f, from tabs click to replace, into find section put beta.example.com and into replace with section put example.com then save it make sure you do not use HTTP, https or www when performing the replacing task.
Now goto your WordPress directory wp-config file and change your database name with newly created one username and password too.
Visit example.com/wp-admin login there with your login details you were using to login into beta.example.com/wp-admin.
Into deshboard->setting click to permalinks and select %%postname%%
Thanks, I hopes it will work for you as example.com
I am editing a wordpress website. My client had a team working on editing it and they simply used the Wordpress editor to make changes. When I log in to cPanel, I see a 'coming soon' page in the index.html file. But the changes that the design team made cannot be located in any file. Also, when I access the website with a http, it shows the website (even when it's not supposed to be launched) and when I access the website with a https, it shows the welcome page. I don't know how two different pages are displayed by just changing the transfer protocol. How do I edit the theme?
If it is a WordPress website, the index file should be under this directory:
/website-root/wp-content/themes/ <- then the theme folder.
The theme, that's active on your website should be mentioned under Appearance > Themes. If you're not sure which one it is in /themes directory, look for the title here.
As you have cPanel, you should have an access to .HTACCESS file for your account. You can set index/default page for your website from .HTACCESS file. Please add the following code:
DirectoryIndex MyFileName.html // Replace MyFileName.html with your actual index file name.
HTTP and HTTPS should show the same contents. Please clear browser cache or verify your website from any alternate system or server.
I have a website built with Wordpress that has been having permalink issues. A few days ago, I had added a simple file, named qr.php, that I dropped in at the root level (where the wp-content and wp-upload folders reside). It has a script that redirect to pages outside of my website depending on what type of device the user is using. Basically, some one on a Apple device gets redirected to an itunes page, and droid user to the droid app store, etc.
Could this non Wordpress page be causing issues? I have had static or html pages in amonst my root level files before, and never had an issue. I feel like the redirects may change this.
Rather than using the qr.php(cutom redirect file) in your wordpress site. You can use a plugin which will help to redirect the external links.
Some of the plugins which might help you to achieve your purpose are Device Redirect - WordPress Phone &Tablet Redirect , RedirectPlus - Wordpress Mobile Redirect Plugin.
See the screenshots, try demo and check whether it fits your requirement.
No, it dont cause any issue with permalink..
I am also using a wordpress website : abc.com and a php based software integrated to admin folder on root.. And I can access easily abc.com and abc.com/newfolder/abc.php
I have successfully moved a wordpress site from /test directory to the root, so now the website url looks like www.example.com. Fine.
However the admin section (wp-admin) still points to /test directory and so the url looks like www.example.com/test/wp-admin/...
How can I make it like www.example.com/wp-admin/...?
Please notice that I'm not interested in a simple redirection (now the customer is able to access the admin section with www.example.com/wp-admin, but then he's redirected to www.example.com/test/wp-admin/..., and it's not what he wants.
Thanks in advance
Everything is documented in http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
You may need to change many URLs in post/page content; if so, see https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB as suggested in the above Docs.
There is no need to create a new Wordpress install.
Also see http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install if you want to keep core Wordpress files and folders in a subfolder, but have the site appear to be at root for the end user.
You should not move wordpress this way. Here is what you do:
Install Clean Wordpress Installation on the new domain.
(www.original.com)
Use a plugin* to make back-up on your test domain.
(www.original.com/test/)
Install plugin* on the new domain, and restore back-up from test
domain. (www.orignal.com)
Update your style.css, header.php, index.php & footer.php if it
contains hard written links to your test domain.
You cannot simply move a wordpress installation - as most entries, links etc. are stored in the database. If you move folders in your ftp they will still point to the old database. This is why you have to duplicate your site, where the database entries will be automatically updated to your new site domain. Hard written links in any theme php files will have to be updated.
Although your problem depends on how your pointers/sites are set-up in c-panel. If you have to change pointers for your directory, you might have to back-up your website and upload it to a different domain so your new site can access the restoration back-up file via http request.
*Plugins such as wp clone, duplicator.
I try to hide the traces as wordpress on my website for security reasons. Does anyone know how to create a rule using htaccess, according to which a third party user (with a different ip) redirected to on /404.php if he visits the wp-admin and wp-login.php ... I've seen third-party plug-ins (?) To address this problem, but I do not want to create an extra load on the CMS.
you can use simple redirect in .htaccess like this
Redirect 301/wp-admin/ http://www.yourwebsite.com/404.php
But if you're trying to completely hide wordpress it requires a little bit of technical work...what I did in mine, is search every files in the wp-include and wp-content folder as well as the root folder that contained the wp-login.php and /wp-admin/somefolder words, and change everything to a file or folder to a name of your choice that no-one can guess. Although you have to be very careful as not to change an important code there...
