I've been trying to fix this issue for a long time, but whenever I go to my WORDPRESS website svroyal.com it just shows a plain 'Hello World' text despite me having downloaded themes and media for the website.
I've hosted the website with GoDaddy. What could be the problem here? Here's the page
What might be the problem?
I tried contacting the hosting support, and they told me that it was the DNS, so I followed their instructions and waited for a few days, and it still didn't get fixed. The wordpress dashboard says that I'm using the correct theme, but whenever I turn on the editor, it just shows 'Hello World'.
I suspect your top-level site folder contains a file called index.html or maybe index.htm.
That folder also contains a file called index.php, and it does contain a whole mess of files and folders like wp-config.php and wp-admin.
The index.html or index.htm file contains that dirt-simple Hello World web page you see. Your server delivers it to you instead of running index.php so you don't see WordPress, just that page. Delete that one file, but don't delete index.php or anything else.
