   I have always fantasized about what goes behind the scene to run such a good wordpres front end and backend interface.
   This guide has cleared all those behind the scene aspect of wordpress working.
   Having a knowledge of these files and directories structure gives us command over tweaks that we can make.
   Thanks wpbeginner for this guide on wordpress file structure.

   This folder layout is same as a multsite set up?

   Thank you.

     It is almost the same, a multisite install would have folders for each of the subsites.

     You would insert it where your WordPress files are located, where you can see the wp-admin and wp-content folders or you could take a look at our guide here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-create-and-manage-ads-txt-files-in-wordpress/

   Question : How do I find the location and how do i upload the unzipped file to this location.

     You would use an FTP or a file manager if your hosting provider offers one and go into the folders wp-content then your uploads folder:

    Crazy question.
    After importing demo site content on an Avada themed site – there are so many pages I have NO IDEA how to get back to identify and edit my home page in the PAGES link? I now have 8 pages of „pages“. How can I find my Home page? BTW – In READINGS > SETTINGS – I’ve checked blog assigned to home page NOT to a STATIC Page. Many thanks!
    I have googled several ways – but can’t figure out this thing!

      Hi Karen,

      When you go to Pages » All Pages you should be able to see — Homepage label next to the page used as your homepage. You can also try reaching out to the theme developer for support.

      Hi John,

      You do not need to use FTP to make changes to your WordPress site. You can login to the admin area of your WordPress site and then go to Media to edit or upload images.

          Hey John,

          You can ask your WordPress hosting company to reset password for you. You can also try our guide on how to add an admin WordPress user using FTP. However, please note that this is an advanced tutorial and if something goes wrong your entire website could become inaccessible.

      Your article itself will not be stored in files, it will be stored in the database. Only your files will be stored inside the wp-content/uploads.

      WordPress generates your posts and pages on the fly from your database.

        So, there’s no way to get the contents of the page themselves through the FTP? Like, if I wanted to pull my about page from the FTP, I wouldn’t be able to do that?

        • Buck Riley

          Or… is this databased stored elsewhere on the site outside of the wordpress folder, and having only backed up the wordpress folder when my site was deleted, I’ve lost all of my content?

        • WPBeginner Support

          No, you will not be able to do that.

          WordPress does not create and store static pages. Instead, it stores your content in a database and then generates HTML pages on the fly.

          After a WSOD and several hours of trying to get back to the dashboard, I deleted all WP files from my file mgr. Before I did that I backed up and stored all of those files in a temp file in file manager.

          Is there a way I can get my input (static pages) generated in html, so I may copy them?

          I am about ready to install another WP theme, but before I do so I hold a slim hope that these pages are still stored somewhere, like in an etheral world of some database.

        • Josh

          Robert, I second your motion. The answer has been rather expertly skirted around here. Is there some kind of membership fee we need to pay for these kind of seemingly simple answers? All I can find is the import/export tool for the pages, then edit the CSS or delete the unnecessary pages as desired.

    Nice article. For development team working with enterprise content management services like WordPress (or in that matter any other CMS like Sitefinity, Drupal, etc.) must understand the basic file structure. This will not only help them find the files but with this they will also be able to organize the files in proper way.
    Using a nested approach to save your content and system files is a the best way to design a file structure.
