Site Publisher is a great way to quickly set up a one-page website while you work on building up your website using WordPress, Omeka, or another application that can be found in the Domains section of your cPanel. However, unlike other applications, like those we offer through Installatron, there is no one-click uninstall for Site Publisher.
Once you feel it’s time to move away from Site Publisher, go ahead and log into your cPanel, and navigate to the Files section. From there, click File Manager.
Use the File Manager’s directory listing on the left to navigate the directory you installed Site Publisher in. For most of you, this will be public_html, but you may have installed it to another location.
Once you've located the folder with your Site Publisher files, select all of the files and directories, except for cgi-bin. Once each of the folders and files are selected and highlighted blue, you can hit the Delete option on the toolbar at the top.
A confirmation window will then come up, with a list of files you're moving to the trash. Select "Confirm" to delete the files.
After confirming, you should see that folder as empty outside of the cgi-bin folder. Your site will then load a blank white page with an index of all the files living in that folder.
Now your site is empty, and you can install a copy of your desired application (like WordPress) through Installatron, or even clone an existing installation you have!
Site Publisher will also create a directory named site_publisher in your home directory containing backups and configuration files. It doesn’t hurt to leave this here, especially if you want a backup of your old Site Publisher page, but feel free to delete this directory the same way as explained above if you desire.
