Http 500 error

I had a quick look at your website and I think I see what happened here.

Your WordPress website is installed in a subfolder, with the name wp. I’m guessing you didn’t want that, and moved the index.php and .htaccess file from WordPress into the main htdocs folder.

That will not work. The WordPress core files are setup in a certain way, and tinkering with that setup is a recipe for disaster.

At this point, there are two ways forward:

Reinstall WordPress in the right location

The easiest way to fix the installation location of a WordPress site is to delete the current installation and reinstall it in the right place. If you didn’t do much with your website except for installing it, or the changes can be easily reproduced, then this is the easiest way.

The easiest way to install WordPress is with Softaculous. When using Softaculous, make sure to leave the “In Directory” setting empty, unless you want to install the software in a subfolder.

When installing WordPress by hand, make sure to take the contents of the wp folder from the WordPress zip file and upload those to your htdocs folder. The WordPress source code (with the index.php, wp-blog-header.php files, wp-includes folder, etc.) should be placed DIRECTLY in the htdocs folder, not in a subfolder.

Move the WordPress installation to the right location

If you don’t want to lose the current installation, then you can move an existing installation to a new location. To do so:

1. Go into the file manger.
2. Go to your website’s htdocs folder, then go into the wp subfolder.
3. Select everything here.
4. Click the Move button.
5. Use the folder browser to find the htdocs folder of your domain.
6. Click the Move button to move the files to their final locations.

When you have done this, you will also need to update your website URL. That’s most likely set to http://taylordesigns.page.gd/wp/, but should be updated to http://taylordesigns.page.gd/. That process is described by the WordPress documentation:
