Not Sure of Answer to WordPress Question

There is a WordPress Quiz Question "When creating a WordPress site via a 1-click install script, you must tell it what _____ to install WordPress into. This affects the URL of the site."

I'm not sure of the answer. I tried "database", "MySQL Databate", "table prefix".

Thanks for the help.

It will be easy if you just log into your cpanel and tryout one by one of the inputs that they are requesting.

It is looking for the name of the main folder for a website.

PLEASE: Do not suggest actual answers, but rather direct the student towards the correct answers.

I appreciate that you don't always think that a student should be able to get the answer from here but sometimes when you don't understand a question your training is completely stopped because it can take long for answers to be received or for us to be directed properly.

I agree with Rosina, there should be a way to have a balance. I'm seriously stumped.

I agree, this is something we're really trying to figure out how to scale. Did you find the correct answer? The correct language should have always been in the original video, especially for fill in the blanks.

Finally got the answer. The answer was not in the video transcript, nor was it referenced. You have to find it elsewhere, Zac's second post is a big hint.

I got the answer but I agree with most of these post... this question needs to be removed or at lease phrased.

Hint = " Dumb down your answer and as Olga said, it starts with -F- ".

I too am having the same issue.

Same. I re-read the transcript, re-watched the video a number of times, and tried several responses - no dice. Managed to pass the quiz without getting this answer right, fortunately, but I would like to know what the correct answer is so I can feel comfortable moving forward. Welcoming further hints, please!

Hi Rados, I can certainly understand your frustration with this question. I just now figured out the answer, after going back and watching the video again. I'd recommend checking out the bit from 1:15-1:30. Hopefully, that will help you, too.

The question is - "When creating a WordPress site via a 1-click install script, you must tell it what _____ to install WordPress into. This affects the URL of the site."

-> Means when you will run 1 click auto install script, in Which ______ you would like to install your WordPress files. so it will make your WordPress Admin login url path accordingly.
