Hello, I'm trying to install wordpress site into directory public_html/domain.tld and than to have URL www.domain.tld and (domain.tld/wp-admin/for WP access). However while installing via softaculous I'm ending up with installation being on www.domain.tld/domain.tld/ That's why I'm looking for a solution. Can you help me to fix that?

  Hello, You can reach out to your web hosting provider to see if they will update the document root for your domain name to:
  /home/$username/public_html/domain.tld/
  This will allow domain.tld to directly load the contents of the above directory. Thank you.

  Thanks for answer. My hosting provider told me to do it myself.

  It's not possible to make this change for the primary domain name associated with the account without root access to the system. However, if this is an addon domain name, you can browse to "cPanel >> Addon Domains" and change the document root associated with the domain name. Thank you.
