Yes, that’s what I was saying. I HAVE added the Home button in my primary menu, as I said here: “I have gone to the menus option in Appearance, and it is there. I added my first post underneath it, but it didn’t help.” So the HOME link shows up in the make a menu screen, but not in the actual menu bar.

So, I went into Customize, and saw that the menu hadn’t been checked as primary. So all is good.

Thanks, for the response.

Thanks so MUCH Ncej! That was so much easier than what I found at EDD! ??

Yes, that worked this time. Funny it didn’t the first time I used text to do it. Was trying a different button at the time, maybe the code was wrong? Anyway, this code works. Thanks

Here’s the code:

Okay, it’s not showing up right. See if this works:

<img src=”https://image.payloadz.com/images/btn-buynow-b2.png&#8221; border=:0:>

Okay, no matter what I do only the second part of the code shows up here. I gave the url to my site in my first post. But here it is again
https://www.dreamwyndpublishing.com/buy-your-book/
You can see the code there. I left it up for people to help me with.

I have the first two sites up an running at HostAwesome.

I’ll tackle the others tomorrow.

I have all the pages of the sites backed up already. Images are in folders on my laptop. Always have copies of photos and images! Only thing that might be lost are the posts and there weren’t all that many of those. No big loss.

I still have the backups though.

I will probably keep those four sites at iPage for now. Cheaper there. But if anyone wanted a good free WP host HA has that. I’m hosting free for now.

I’ll close this now. Thanks again brett!

Each site is in its own folder in the root directory. And multiple sites are allowed on iPage as long as you buy the right package deal for that. I always get the one in which I can do that. They have “unlimited” storage and bandwidth. I put that in quotes to show I understand that doesn’t mean I can push that past the limits.

The techs there say there is no issue with the php memory. They keep insisting it’s a plugin or a theme.

The only site I can get into at iPage is the publishing site and I’ve upgraded it to 4.4. But no matter, I’m going to delete everything and start over. Seems to be the only thing to do. I imagine if I’m deleting everything then I ought to delete the backups I have on my PC as well. No point in keeping them if they’re no good.

I’ve moved the sites on JH to another host and closing out that account. I’m going to start over fresh there as well.

It’s been a long road to get to this point. Guess I should have sucked it up in the first place and done it. Just one last question: do I delete the entire public_html folder or just the contents in it?

Thanks brettg59!

Hello brettg59,

Thanks for your response.

Sorry, didn’t realize I would need to start separate threads. I kept them together here now as that’s how I started it. Plus, I Don’t want anyone thinking I’m bumping my post. So I’m posting for both issues in this one post.

I wasn’t getting a 500 error on the first site. I explained that I can’t get new themes. Sorry for the confusion on that. I’m get this error: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with www.remarpro.com or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. I cannot add any new themes. And I did delete the other theme -Twenty-Thirteen – from the dashboard. Must be Twenty-Fifteen cannot be deleted?

This was a fresh install done by a tech at iPage. So only Twenty-Fifteen and Twenty-Thirteen were installed with that. I installed Weaver II Pro which is the theme you can see now. I want to try out the Twenty-Sixteen theme with this site but cannot get any new themes.

In looking for further help with all my issues, I learned about the Duplicator plugin. Was thinking of deleting the present install of my sites and trying new with this plugin. I’ve been trying to resolve issues with my sites since I tried to migrate them to iPage around three weeks ago and only this site at https://www.dreamwyndpublishing.com is Finally live there. I have since pointed two back to JustHost to see if I would have the same issues there.

I would like them all on the same host server of course. Seems like I should just start over and try to get them going with Duplicator? If so, what’s the best procedure for deleting the old install? Do I delete from both FTP and dashboard? FileManager?

I’m figuring that since my five other sites are in the root directory of the first site, they will all transfer over all at once. Is that right?
===========

The other site https://www.strollingmemorylane.com is live now at JustHost as they say it was the theme Weaver II Pro causing the 500 error. So it’s live BUT I can’t log in to the dashboard. No admin login shows up or anything at all in the sidebar, just a You must be Logged In link at the bottom of the page, which takes me to a blank white screen.

Anyway, if I could start all over with a better way of migrating the sites maybe I’d have less issues?

Today an iPage tech finally got https://www.dreamwyndpublishing.com showing with a new install and I can login. They apparently didn’t try to fix the issue with the database so it connects and shows my content. But at least it’s there. This is one of the easiest sites to redo if I have to. The author sites and the roguediabetic site have posts on them that I would lose if I have to redo them.

I changed the nameservers back to JustHost for my family site http?//www.strollingmemorylane.com and for my lefty site, https://www.thesouthpawconnection.com. The lefty site resolved within a few minutes and is showing up as it should. I can now get into the admin dashboard. https://www.strollingmemorylane.com is showing a 500 error. So does that mean it’s going to be a little longer for that site to resolve to JH’s nameservers? Or maybe it’s another issue?

Apparently there was an issue with a plugin and the Twenty-Fifteen theme in the publishing site. I had been using the Weaver II Pro theme until I disabled the themes folder which forced a revert to the Twenty-Fifteen theme. Jetpack was the plugin giving trouble, and I have since read somewhere that Jetpack can cause issues. I may just delete it. I lived very well without it before, so I will probably do without again.

My anitamshaw folder was renamed anitamshaw_old. I don’t know why. They didn’t rename any of the other folders.

In the new install at https://www.dreamwyndpublishing.com in the appearance section is the info that my theme templates are missing.

1) if the database was actually connecting to this new install wouldn’t my templates be there?

2) I don’t mind getting new copies of the themes installed but I keep getting errors when I try to do that. Doesn’t matter if it’s one from WordPress or one I want to upload from my computer. I was able to upload one theme from my computer but now that option seems to be missing. I just get taken to the page saying: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with www.remarpro.com or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.

I get this a€” File Ends a€” when I try to delete the Hello World page and the other default post. Can’t seem to get to do anything on this site yet.

I have one thing to try to see if I can get the other sites to run on iPage. If it doesn’t work, I may be back for help on that issue. Support at iPage while they do respond quickly, getting things done is taking a long time. My sites have been down since Thanksgiving – Nov 26.

Appreciate your kind help in these matters. ??

Permissions are fine as I noted previously.

In fixing a typo in the config.php file and deleting an extra ‘ there, I now am seeing a page for a new WP install.

So it would seem that it’s a database issue, so I’m going to import those again and see if It helps. In looking over the server logs, the error I’m getting is that there is no such file. directory is empty.

I thought all was well there as I had gotten a success message each time I imported the dbs the first time. I’m going to drop them all and start over.
Hopefully that will work. In not, well, maybe it’s time to just give it up and reinstall, start from scratch on all of it. ??

Hi guys!
Thanks for your responses.

daniyal,
Wp-config.php file is correct as I edited it and reuploaded it. More than once, as a matter of fact. I deleted the htaccess file as per your instruction. You didn’t say to replace it, but I did so from the backup on my PC. I probably won’t outsource anything. Haven’t the budget for it. I’ll simply wipe the mess out and start over if I can’t figure it out soonTh.

ravi,
The site url did not change. In all my past migrations to new hosts, I have never changed the url. I backed up my databases and uploaded those to my new host. What did change were my usernames and password. I changed those in the wp-config.php file.

In checking permissions all of the files have rw-r–r– after them, EXCEPT the Home.html file which has rwxt-x— after it. All of the folders have drwxr-xr-x after them. I’m looking at them from my FTP client CoffeeCup Direct FTP. I see no way of changing them from here.

Okay, I checked them in the file manager too. There they show up as numbers. 755 for the files, except the Home.html file which is 750. The folders are set to 644. It appears that I cannot change the permissions of the files myself. But those to the folders I can. No clue what I would change them to however.

I don’t know how to edit a htaccess file. But I’ll try to find out. I may not know what I’m looking for in it . . .

All my themes are in the theme folder and were uploaded to new host by ftp last week with everything else.

When I can actually access the wp-admin login I’ll check the permalink.

Thanks again for your responses!

What should I do next please?

Okay. Deleted the two files.

No. I built each one with the WordPress install from cpanel. Didn’t know there was such a thing at the time.

Sorry I forgot to add a subject heading . . .
