    I signed up with Bluehost and chose WordPress for my program — months ago. I do simple coding, but I can’t seem to figure out WP. Figures.
    I am working on a static site for a small business that I’m trying to start, and have finally given up on getting all of the pages done first. I’m trying to simply get the front page up and running.
    Last night, I “published” that front page. It looks fine when I “View Page” but if I go to the web address, it still shows the “Hello World” page from October, except that the theme, header photo and tagline are all new. It looks like the content of the page is just not “publishing.” I had tried to put a gallery in another page, and that page won’t even show up in the “View Page.”

    So, what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks.

    Okay, I got the page to load when the web address is visited — finally — but …

    I am assuming I need an embedding plugin to get the video on that page to show? Yes, I’m completely illiterate when it comes WP, and I do feel like a dunce. My apologies.

    I could also use the help with the other issue of getting a gallery, which is supposed to be included in the workings of WordPress, to run on another page I am working on. It has not yet been published since I can’t even see it in “View Page.” Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Did you use any embed code for the video on the front page? Pasting the youtube link itself would automatically be embedded.

    I actually installed a plug-in for it, which also didn’t work. The problem was not with WordPress, at that point. It was that I had not “allowed embedding” for my video on YouTube. Once I did that, it worked fine. But, then I chose to go back to the regular embedding into the page and not use the plug-in. This time, pasting the URL into WP didn’t automatically embed it. So, I went back a couple of days, copied the code and pasted it into the WP page editor (text) and TahDah!

    Now if I can get the gallery to work, and find a good but simple contact form plug-in that’s been tested with the newest version of WordPress, it will all be good.

    Thanks very much for asking. I appreciate it.
