  Hello!

  I have a simple html website, then installed wordpress in my domain https://villalaangostura.com.br/wp/ and blocked search engines to crawl it. So right now in https://villalaangostura.com.br/ is the old website.

  I’m ready to get rid of the old website and make the wordpress site on https://villalaangostura.com.br/wp/ my actual website.

  I’m not sure about how to proceed. My understanding was that I’d simple change in general settings the wordpress url from https://villalaangostura.com.br/wp/ to https://villalaangostura.com.br/
  and the website url field from https://villalaangostura.com.br/wp/ to https://villalaangostura.com.br/

  But that didn´t work, instead, I had lot of trouble to login in back and the wordpress website were not showing in https://villalaangostura.com.br/ anyway…

  Would you lend me a hand on this? Thanks in advance!

  Hello @oh20,

  Your site villalaangostura.com , that you need help with is using the open source WordPress.org software and you need to seek help at these forums:

  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  I know this can be confusing, but there are two types of WordPress. If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org you can read this document:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Hope you get the help you need on the WordPress.org forums.
