How Files are Stored In Your WordPress Hosting Account

To navigate your WordPress file system, you will need to know how files are stored on your hosting account. We utilize the Bitnami WordPress stack as part of our deployment toolkit, and with this come a few adjustments to how WordPress is traditionally managed.

Locating a Stack Application Folders

To locate an application folder in your hosting installation, you will need to navigate to:

/opt/bitnami/application_name

There are several applications included in your stack, some or all of which may be used in production for your application depending on your configuration.

• WordPress - Contains the core files for your WordPress application
• Apache - Contains the files for your apache server and configuration

Locate the Core WordPress Directories

To find the core files that make up your WordPress installation, you can find them at:

/opt/bitnami/wordpress

To find the 'wp-content' folder, or access the 'wp-config.php' file, you can visit:

/bitnami/wordpress
