I am running a self-hosted version of WordPress on a Linode VPS running Debian 9.
I was previously using WordPress on a /blog directory because I had a basic HTML site that I decided not to keep any longer, so I moved everything out of /blog and put everything back into the root directory after deleting my old site’s contents.
I followed the steps provided here and updated my permalink settings and used Velvet Blues to update my URLs.
I got some notifications from the Site Health tool, saying that my REST API and Jetpack settings were not working properly. Similarly, I tried to configure Yoast SEO to optimise my web site, but it kept returning an error. According to their article I opened this page in Chrome’s DOM console and got this message.

Some of the references to press-rele are based on plugins I have installed in which they were using the /blog directory.
I have tried looking for a solution on multiple articles, but they are all based with the assumption that you are on a host, meaning that you only have access to an FTP folder and a web-based control panel, rather than having complete access to the box and doing everything yourself.
- Can someone give me advice on how to get this fixed?
