esmi, try as I might I cannot correct the code, and the message reads that the problem is on line 12.
Maybe I have the index.php and the .htaccess file in the wrong places. Here is the configuration as I have it:
public_html
• .htaccess
• wordpress
•
o wp-admin
• index.php
• wp-content
• wp-includes
• all the rest of the wp files
