I have updated my child theme file via Wordpress which has caused an error with WordPress “There has been a critical error on your website.”
I want to amend this file via accessing the server via Fillezilla, but I can’t locate my wordpress folder anywhere?
I installed Wordpress using Easy Engine if that makes a difference.
It is not in any of the usual place - var/www
Many thanks for anyone that can help, I lost all the dev work ive done otherwise.

To upload the WordPress files to your host, return to the folder on your computer where you unpacked the WordPress software that you should already have downloaded. Using your FTP client, connect to your web server and upload all these files into the root directory of your hosting account.
Hi @JJD,
If it’s not in the /var/www folder then I would suggest checking your Nginx configuration. I haven’t used EasyEngine but according to Google it says it’s using Nginx. This means that you have an /etc/nginx folder.
What you can do in there is check the folder /etc/nginx/sites-available. In there you should have a .conf named after your domain. Inside if you check the file, you should be able to see a DocumentRoot variable. In there you should be able to see the path to your website.
