I have a WordPress site hosted on DigitalOcean, however I can’t see the site files on the droplet (I’m on a Mac). I know they exist since the website is live. I know very little about DigitalOcean, so I may be omitting important technical information. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
By default, the website files would be in the
/var/www/html
directory.If you are connecting via SSH to your Droplet, you can use the
cd
command to get to that directory:If the files are not in there, you can use the
cat
command and check your Apache configuration file and find the document root:If you are using Nginx instead of Apache, you can use this command:
Then look for the document root path.
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
