Index of my website redirects to nonexistent sub-folder?

[winches3]

Hello!

So when I first made my website today, I uploaded WordPress via FTP and extracted it to a subfolder called Wordpress. Then I moved all of the files from the subfolder to the public_html folder and proceeded to install WordPress, no problem.

But now whenever I try to access my website via the plain old URL, it tries to redirect me to the /wordpress folder I had extracted it to originally, and then it tells me that 'the page does not exist'. Well, no shit.

How can I get the site to treat the URL as the main page, and stop trying to use this deleted subfolder automatically?

Thanks in advance!

How can I get the site to treat the URL as the main page

-
you need to set the new URL in your blog or CMS software -:- usually named "Site URL" or something similar on its configuration page (for Wordpress it is in general > settings section)

the options to look at are "WordPress Address (URL)" and "Site Address (URL)"

In Site Settings the URL is already correct. Is there anywhere else I could fix this?
