GoDaddy hosting problems with Word Press

  • I’m setting up a site for someone that they are hosting in a subdirectory on another GoDaddy site. I’m having trouble figuring out what the hell is going on and am having a series of problems:

    1) The built-in wordpress installation didn’t create a MySQL database. Do I need to create a database of my own? Which relates to…

    2) I want to import a backed up WP database from a previous version of the site but the PHPMyAdmin in GoDaddy doesn’t have the browse button or an import option. Not to mention I’m only able to access PHPMyAdmin if I create my own new database which isn’t linked up to WP in any way as far as I can tell.

    3) Just creating some pages in WP to test out my templates isn’t working the way I want. You can see it here: https://tinyurl.com/n97xs the links at the top are generated with wp_list_pages but they aren’t working. This may be database related or who knows. GoDaddy is making me mad.

    Thanks. Going through those threads and trying stuff on my own the only solution I can think of is to tell them to get rid of GoDaddy. I can’t believe how complicated they make things!

    The 2 biggies are make sure its a linux/php plan, and you have to use their MySQL db naming convention (in wp-config.php).
