190 PointsWhen I go to my site (3tapsandyou.com/wp-admin) it brings me to the login screen rather than the configuration page.
Could someone help me figure out what I did wrong?

It sounds like you already have Wordpress installed on your site. Is it possible you have a hosting plan that pre-installs it, or you used your host's one-click install of Wordpress? If so, you'll need to go to your host to find out your username and password.

190 PointsI tried redoing all the steps in this tutorial and now I have the screen you see (with the parent directory etc). Is there a way to clear everything I've done and try again?
I am using all the programs explained in the tutorial (Firezilla, web hosting for students, etc).

If so, you can probably go in and uninstall the wordpress from your site, and start over by reinstalling wordpress. You may have to go into the file manager (public_html) for your site and manually delete any wp files that did not get removed correctly.
Hope this is helpful!

39,021 PointsNote: I do not go to a login page when going to 3tapsandyou.com/wp-admin. Maybe you've changed things since posting this?

190 PointsActually I think I figured it out. I just added a new directory and am using that to set up the database, etc. Hopefully this works :)

190 PointsOkay, so now I accidentally changed the site to be www.3tapsandyou.com/wordpress instead of www.3tapsandyou.com. Is there a way to put it back?

39,021 PointsWell, if you put it in a new directory, that's how the url will work... You need to have WP installed in the root of your document if that's where you want the WP site to live.
