Seems you have downloaded the website instead of the recovery :cool:
(Therefore the ending with *.html. Changing the filename won't change the filetype...)
On your mentioned website, click on the download-link which is named

Download twrp-3.7.0_9-0-evert.img

Now you should get a file, which is really a *.img :)

For me the easiest way to install twrp and not break anything is to download the installer zip and img rename the img to twrp.img then copy the installer zip to sd card and use "fastboot boot twrp.img" while in fastboot then click on install and install the zip.

Perhaps you could try downloading fom an alternative site:

I wonder, if you got a complete file. Download-size is 32.5 MB. Sending recovery command gave a lower value (29252 KB) . Maybe itś correct and there is some file-overhead, but itś worth a try...?

I recently ran into a similar situation. Try booting into recovery. In TWRP check if the Folder "data" is mounted. On my device, the 3.7.0 had problems. Formatting data as ext2 and back to ext4 made it readable, although of course formatting deleted all data. That worked until the next boot...

Solution was, to flash an older version of TWRP (3.2.x), afterwards it could be reflashed with the most recent version which now worked without problems.

Also, on some systems, if you flash TWRP once and try to reboot into System, the boot partition is being "repaired" by your system an TWRP is gone...

Exactly. Flash 3.2, reboot into recovery. Within TWRP you can mount USB drive, which lets you easy install anything else. (TWRP 3.7, root, ROM...)

use 3.2.3-0 and flash it to the boot?
Did you ever heard of A/B slots? The Moto G6+ uses A/B slots and does not have a partition /recovery. Of course there is a recovery but it 's merged in the boot.img. So the boot.img is able to boot into recovery and also into system.

Your TWRP image is recovery only and isn't able to boot into system!

***


What will happen when flashing TWRP to partition /boot?
In that case your boot.img = twrp.img and will only boot into recovery.

How to install TWRP permanently on your device?
First of all you should have a look at https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotog6plus.html
TWRP provides an installation guide for every device and it´s recommended to follow these steps.

***

Here´s a more detailed guide:

1. In your case you have to restore the boot.img since it got overwritten by flashing your twrp.img to /boot.
If available use a backup of /boot. Otherwise flash the stock boot.img from your current running firmware version. Firmware builds can be found here:

(take care of your software channel, i.e. RETUS)

*** Be aware that by flashing your stock boot.img Magisk will be deinstalled from ***
your device and as a result of this you will LOOSE ROOT ACCESS!!

2. Run
fastboot boot <TWRP.IMG>

3. On TWRP main screen go to Advanced => Install Recovery Ramdisk and pick the twrp.img:

It's fixed.

It depends on your software channel:
RETAIL = general software build, w/o any region
RETUS = builds for U.S. region
RETIN = builds for India region
...and so on.
Beside that, there are also builds for carrier branded phones.

To find your software channel:

a) Open a terminal app and run
getprop ro.carrier

b) settings > about the phone > software channel

c) fastboot getvar all has also an entry for that, but I don't know exactly what name it is.

d) the specific model no.: XT1926-???
The last digit depends on your software channel.

    i tryed to boot twrp but it didnt work
    Uninstall Minimal ADB and Fastboot, check if you have unlocked the bootloader and use >Google platform-tools<.

    In addition to the comment "does not work", include the results of your commands.
    Nobody but you can see them.
