So, I built my page then got the books, found out I should have loaded themes and module under the site folder not in the theme or module folder. if I understand correctly those are only for core elements.

The question is - will it disrupt drupal if I move them into the site folder now that the site is running?

Thank you...

If you can just disable all contrib modules and themes, then move them, then re-enable them. If you move the theme without disabling it first your site will break (will appear with no style) which is not a big deal and you just have clear the cache to bring it back (from the Performance settings page).

for better and be safe ..u should ..

1. switch the site to off line maintenance
2. disable all performance (caching)
3. disable the theme (for module, disable, then uninstall )
4. move the theme / module files
5. enable the theme / module
6. enable performance
7. switch back to online mode

You certainly should NOT uninstall your modules! That could/will loose all the data!

Yes, disable them, but do not uninstall, I did not reply to your post so you can edit it as that is not good advice.

You don't need to take the site offline to move a theme, just clear the cache afterwards.
