New to WordPress. Site doesn’t update to index.html? 1&1

    Hi there! I’m awfully sorry that I can’t find this info on my own! It’s just I have no clue what to search for, and I’ve looked through the numerous stickies.

    Okay, I just registered with 1&1 last night, and now my site’s up and running. I then used a guide to install 1&1 to my domain (a success! I at least did THIS right!)

    I put up a test entry, and it doesn’t udate my page. All the guides I browsed say, “Once you get to the wordpress setup page, you’re done! Happy blogging!”

    Well, I can post a blog, but as you can see, it doesn’t show up.

    It’s a gaming blogsite me and a few friends are setting up. As I’m the most techy (but not so much at webmatersing. I’m VERY slowly learning!) I took over the setup. But this sure isn’t the dead-simple drag-and-drop I know from Weebly!

    I’d sure appreciate any help. A redirect to a thread that’d help me, anything! I’m just ultra sorry if this has been posted before, but worded differently. I’m new to the web-jargon so I don’t know what to call things.

  • go back to your Your hosting account page in 123 reg, under tools and point your domain to hosting

    I’m sorry. I guess I’m not as smart as you think I am (though I do appreciate the benefit of the doubt).

    When you say 123reg, do you mean my 1&1 hosting account settings?

    I’ve looked at WordPress tools settings, and there’s only “Press This” and “Categories and Tag Converter”

    Pointing my domain to hosting? I’m not sure what this means, either. I got the 1&1 package that came with a domain name.

    i meant 1&1 hosting.
    u should have a section /link button, allows you to point or link your wordpress app to yor domain name..thus allowing people to see it on the web..if not then it probably a question worth asking your site host

    Thanks. But I searched around and around and one place said “It always looks for index.html first.”

    There’s a index.php that wordpress created, so I wondered.
    And I deleted it, but made a copy before hand, though!

    And it worked!

    But I really appreciate your help. If there was a rep system or something, I’d give some to you.
