Revamping, redesigning, and more or less re-doing my work’s website has become a new project for me. We would also like to begin using WordPress. We have an existing website (www.eastcoastaircraft.com) hosted on Web.com but I do all the maintenance and updates, etc.
Here is my question… the start of many so, bear with me.
Is there a way to install WP while leaving the current website active and running until I can get the chosen theme working together with our new content and other junk?
]]>How do I install wordpress 3.9.1 on web.com and how do I upload the theme that I want to use which is Kavya?
thank you!
]]>So as for now, I’m kind of stuck adding menu items in PHPmyAdmin, I guess. How would I attempt to do this? What table and what fields would I add?
]]>So I turned off all plugins and started reactivating them one by one. For a while I thought maybe Shopp was the culprit, but I don’t think that’s the case at all. I was turning them back on in alphabetical order so I was late in my plugins at the ‘S”s. I finally decided to turn Shopp on first and there were no issues doing that.
Which leads me to believe that it might be an issue with PHP system memory. Web.com support doesn’t believe that but they’ve been in this state of denial before.
Has anyone had a similar issues like this happen previously? Is it memory or could it still be a plugin conflict? Or something completely different?
]]>The install seems to go fine. I get to the login screen, but login results in the following:
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
I have found several attempts to address this in the fora, but the only thing that obviously worked was a solution using Plesk, which I do not beleive web.com supports. They use phpMyAdmin.
Someone suggested “I’ve added a .htaccess file to my /wordpress/wp-admin/ directory with the following line: DirectoryIndex index.php index.html” But the same person said that did not resolve the issue. If it is something worth trying I would need guidance as to how it is done.
I have cleared cookies and cache and I have done a few reinstalls, including a reinstall from a fresh download from WordPress.
Any new ideas on this? My friends suggests “just switch to DreamHost” but short of changing providers? Thanks!
