I was installing WordPress for the first time in cloud and uploaded Avada theme on it through WP admin dashboard and the document root in my 000-default.conf is /var/www/html and now I can see 2 WordPress installs in my FTP .. 1 is in /root folder where Avada theme is not present and and 1 is in /var/www/html and this has the Avada theme.. now all new pages that I am adding are not visible in Avada theme folder and I also tried updating apache2.conf and .htaccess file but no go..
I have the server as Ubuntu 16.04
I have not posted any code as I don't know what to attach so please advise
All the pages you created from wp-admin are not real pages, those are the dynamic data stored in wordpress post table, and shown using page.php.
You won't see WordPress "pages" in FTP; WordPress pages and posts don't exist as PHP or text or HTML files in a server directory. WordPress "pages" are dynamically generated by PHP in template files and from data (text entered in the WordPress post/page editor) in the database.
