To use REST API based features of Jomres (for example the New Booking Engine and Jomres Messaging System) Jomres files need to exist in the /jomres directory in the root of your CMS’s directory (typically ‘public_html’).
Jomres has always been in this directory however in recent years more and more web host services have configured their WP root directories so that plugins cannot copy files to public_html/xxxx using the installation process, for example to public_html/jomres. To work around this issue Jomres on WordPress installs itself into the /wp-content/plugins/jomres/jomres directory (the /wp-content/plugins/jomres directory is just the home of the bridging plugin for Jomres, the real Jomres is in the directory beneath).
This is fine, and if you don't want to use features that require the REST API you don't need to do anything else, however this location means that the api endpoint functionality will not work. So, in this tutorial I’m going to show you in simple steps what you need to do to move Jomres from there to the top /jomres directory.
In these screenshots I’m using my operating system’s file explorer to move files. You will probably use either your hosting service control panel’s file explorer feature, or FTP to do it, if WordPress isn’t installed on your desktop machine.
