Can I unzip WordPress folder directly into htdocs folder? - wordpress

Can I unzip WordPress folder directly into htdocs folder without creating WordPress folder in it?

To unzip wordpress.zip inside htdocs folder, one blank folder should be there.
So first create blank folder that unzip wordpress.zip inside that folder.
Thanks,

Yes you can, the wordpress files should be installed in the DocumentRoot for the website which I think in your case is the htdocs folder.
When you unzip it it will unzip with a wordpress folder, just move the contents of the folder up a level and remove the wordpress directory.
You just need to configure your wp-config.php file with the relevant access details for the database connection

Wordpress directory won't open

I have installed wordpres, and all files from wordpress are in public_html folder. In same public_html folder I have /onlineforms directory, but it won't load using

How can I fix this so I will be able to open url/onlineforms/index.php?
you have to hit by file name if you folder has index file you hit https://url/onlineforms/index.php or html which file you have load

Wordpress Plugins Couldn't Update: Could not create directory

Good day! Why is it that I am not able to update my plugins in my Wordpress Website.
In my FTP File I have already set my plugins folder to 755 then configured my wp-contents to 755. In my wordpress Site Health, this is what is written in File Permission
The main WordPress directory Writable
The wp-content directory Writable
The uploads directory Writable
The plugins directory Writable
The themes directory Writable
I have done everything written in this site and still I can't update any of my plugins. I don't know what is wrong anymore or what should I do.
I am using CWP, with WordPress 5.5.1 and PHP version 7.4.10
One way to solve this problem, trying to change the FTP permissions by the “wp-config.php” file.
There're some steps to fix “Installation failed, could not create directory.” From your web hosting account, open the “File Manager”. Within the root folder, locate the “wp-config.php” file.
In your “wp-config.php” file, enter the following passage of code.
NOTE: Replace the information in brackets with your information.
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘ftpext’);
define(‘FTP_BASE’, ‘/pathtorootofyourblog/’);
define(‘FTP_USER’, ‘ftpusername’);
define(‘FTP_PASS’, ‘ftppassword’);
define(‘FTP_HOST’, ‘yoursite.com’);
define(‘FTP_SSL’, false);
Save the “wp-config.php” file.
Return to your dashboard and try to install the plugin or upgrade once again. This time, it should be done without any problems.

Wordpress - allow files in site root to be accessed

I have a wordress site but I have a simple page which is not part of the wordpress project
http://sitetest.com/mypage.php
How can I make wordpress ignore this file and allow it to be shown
Just upload this php file to your /public_html directory and run as usually http://sitetest.com/mypage.php, it should work.
UPD. I checked and it works for me.
Just put the file in the site root folder. It will be accessible.
Example: if your site root is /var/www/html/ or public_html then put the file in html/public_html folder where others WordPress files & folders are like wp-content, wp-includes, wp-admin etc.

hosting webapplication on wordpress website

i have WordPress installed in the root http://ibdaa.info
what a need to do is to make sub-directory likee: http://ibdaa.info/app and upload my website to this sub-directory its contain (html,css,js)
i make try to just upload my site to previous link but it seem doesn't work
You will have to upload all the files present in the root folder of http://ibdaa.info to http://ibdaa.info/app and then change the site_url and the wordpress_url from the backend to the new url which in case is http://ibdaa.info/app and you will have to change the new url to point to the /app directory in the .htaccess file also.
A similar way would be to define constants in the wp-config.php file with the new url's
define('WP_HOME','http://ibdaa.info/app');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://ibdaa.info/app');

Ignore containing folder, but not a folder within

I'm cleaning up my development workflow and I was wondering if it is at all possible for Git to ignore a containing folder, but allow folders within?
Allow me to clarify.
I'm currently working on my website and I'm theming my new Wordpress blog - Obviously I have a local installation of Wordpress and a remote installation. I want to be able to ignore the main folders and only allow the themes folder. The structure is as follows.
Blog
wp-content
wp-includes
themes
modules
[...]
I want to ignore absolutely everything except the themes and modules folder - how would I do this in my .gitignore?
How about this:
# Ignore everything in the top-most directory
/*
# Except the wp-includes directory
!wp-includes/
# Exclude everything in the wp-includes directory
wp-includes/*
# Except the folders themes and modules
!wp-includes/themes/
!wp-includes/modules/
