Find My WordPress Installation Path
To find your WordPress installation path, you can use the following methods:
Using cPanel:
Log in to your cPanel dashboard.
Click on File Manager.
Navigate to the public_html folder.
The WordPress installation path is the folder that contains the wp-config.php file.
Using an FTP client:
Open your FTP client and connect to your web server.
Navigate to the public_html folder.
The WordPress installation path is the folder that contains the wp-config.php file.
Using a WordPress plugin:
There are a number of WordPress plugins that can be used to find your WordPress installation path. One popular plugin is called WP-DBManager. To use this plugin, follow these steps:
Install and activate the WP-DBManager plugin.
Go to Tools > WP-DBManager.
Click on the Database tab.
Your WordPress installation path will be listed under the Database location field.
Using a PHP script:
You can also use a PHP script to find your WordPress installation path. The following script will work on most WordPress installations:
PHP
<?php
// Get the current path to the script.
$current_path = getcwd();
// Split the path into an array.
$path_array = explode('/', $current_path);
// Find the index of the 'wp-content' folder.
$wp_content_index = array_search('wp-content', $path_array);
// Get the path to the WordPress installation directory.
$wordpress_installation_path = implode('/', array_slice($path_array, 0, $wp_content_index));
// Print the WordPress installation path to the console.
echo $wordpress_installation_path;
?>

To use this script, save it as a .php file and upload it to your WordPress root directory. Then, visit the following URL in your web browser:
https://yourdomain.com/script-name.php
Replace script-name.php with the name of the PHP script that you uploaded. The WordPress installation path will be printed to the console.
Once you have found your WordPress installation path, you can use it to access your WordPress files and folders. For example, if your WordPress installation path is /public_html/wordpress, then you would access your WordPress files and folders at https://yourdomain.com/wordpress.
