You created a blank website, but then showed wordpress files indicating a wordpress site had been created (prior to you moving your files). If migrating a wp website, should you create a blank website or a wp website (prior to uploading and moving files)?
When you upload your files via the File Manager, the WordPress installation should be automatically recognized, so it doesn't really matter what option you choose there, but if you choose to create a new website using WordPress, you'll need to remove all existing WordPress files from the File Manager before pasting in your previous files.
