Is this a domain name you own, and you’re the only one using it?
If I’m understanding you correctly, it sounds like you want your site to live at https://lafabrica.org.za/. It looks like your WordPress installation (all the WP files) are in the /site directory. That’s not a problem. You can still have the site live at https://lafabrica.org.za/. But you will need some kind of access to copy a few important files to make it work. Can your contact set you up with FTP access to the server?
The directions you need to follow are on this page:

Specifically, you want Method II (With URL change)
You can log in to your hosting account and delete the files and database.

HI @corypina,
i am only using the domain. The guy gave me the FTP logins to access the site via Filezilla. Do you have some instructions that i can follow using FileZilla?
i followed some of the instructions already but it seems like i’m messing things up. I can access the back-end of WordPress but now i can’t see my live site.

Hi All,
I managed to fix the problem, here is how:
1. I moved all the WordPress Files that were on the “/site/” folder to Public_html folder and i deleted the /site folder.
2. I went to phpMyAdmin “mySQL Database” and i opened the “wp-options” file.
3. After opening, i edited the first to files, which is “siteurl” & “home” i.e. from lafabrica.org.za/site to lafabrica.org.za
and it worked!!
Yes i received some errors after but i managed to fix them as well. i went to
1. wp-posts file, and i scrolled to the right to see all the errors under “guid”!!
2. So i created a query!!!! Long story but i would be able to help someone with the same error, let me know!!!!
Thanks everyone for reaching out!!
