You need to move the site to the root directory. You installed your wordpress on wp directory, thats why you must add /wp to see your site. whatsaapp me, 08039422997

The /wp issue was in your initial wordpress installation from your cpanel. You will have to uninstall and reinstall WordPress without the /wp in the settings.

It seems you are a newbie. Simply slow down and take your time to read through the installation form.

Install an Seo plugin, I use The Seo framework, and follow the installation instructions. It will guide you through the process of verifying your site on google, creating your analytics account etc.

Hi,

While installing wordpress, you installed it in a directory named "wp". If you had installed it in a directory named 'charlie', the site will be accessible via the url www.digipix.com.ng/charlie/

First: On wordpress admin, Go to Settings > General and remove the subdirectory from the URL for both the WordPress Address and Site Address. Be sure to remove the trailing / . Both addresses should simply end with .com.ng(as per your domain name)
Click to save changes.

Second - now, login to cpanel, move all files from your /wp to your root(public_html)

Third: Login to your wordpress admin, Go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes. This will rewrite your .htaccess file to remove the
subdirectory from the page URLs.

You can use this plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/) to update all your URLs.

thats all
