Have you gone here recently?

The default “blog” page is once again the root page. We had changed the blog page to a news page and had the “Home” page be the root (I did that myself, not that I remember how at this point)

Go to Dashboard, settings, reading.
Choose “A static page” and then next to “front page” select the page that you have created that you would like for your visitors to see when they first arrive to your site.

-Navigation is a hot mess

Go to “Appearance” > “Menus” to make sure you have a menu created with the correct pages in the correct order. You may have to create a menu, or you may just have to re-order the pages.

For the images, go in and check the links. Also, make sure they are in the actual files of the new installation. The images may not have transferred over for some reason…

It actually looks like it’s working now. Or is it when you click the “Install” button that it throws the error?

Mine shows all that you listed, however, right below “Reading Settings” it shows “Front Page displays with two options: “your latest posts” and “A static page”

Make sure at least one of your pages is published publicly to make sure this shows up.

Let me recap to make sure I understand the issue:

You are transferring a blog to wordpress. The issue is redirecting your domain “www.fisheedesigns.com” to your new wordpress blog.

Did you login to Namecheap and change the nameservers to what you specified above? (NS1.DREAMHOST.COM, NS2.DREAMHOST.COM, and NS3.DREAMHOST.COM) It sounds like you did, I’m just making sure.

*Note: Sometimes it may take a couple of hours for the changes to take place.

My next question is: where did you install your installation of wordpress? Which folder? Do you recall? Double check that you installed wordpress into the “fisheedesigns.com” folder.

What page would you like for visitors to see first when they visit your site?

If your pages are set to “draft” visitors won’t be able to get to them even if the page shows up in the navigation.

If you really want them to show in the navigation while they are in draft-mode, go to your dashboard. Select “Appearance” and then “menus.” Make a new menu. On the left-hand side you should see boxes labeled “Theme Locations,” “Custom Links,” “Pages,” and so on…

In the box “Custom Links” enter the URL for the page you want in your navigation bar. Then enter the name for the link such as “About Us” or “Contact.” Do this for each page you want in your navigation bar.

Now, be sure to set “Theme Locations” to your newly created menu. This should be the first box on the left on the “Menus” page. My theme only shows 1 Menu option which is called “Header Menu,” however, some themes allow multiple menus. Be sure you select the correct menu for your theme.

Note** you will have a blank front page on your website until you tell your wordpress installation which page you would like to be the front page or if you want posts to load on your front page. You can change this by following these steps:

Go to Dashboard, settings, reading.
Choose “A static page” and then next to “front page” select the page that you have created that you would like for your visitors to see when they first arrive to your site.

Best of luck!

Let me make sure I understand.

1.Your pages set as “draft” or “publish privately” are not showing up in your navigation bar? When the pages are set to “publish publicly” are they showing in the navigation bar?

The settings “draft” and “publish privately” are intended for the pages to not be viewed by the public. What is your intention for these pages? Are you wanting these pages to be available to site visitors?

2. Home page: this takes you back to the main page of your site. You can set the “main page” in the dashboard under “Settings” “Reading.”
You can also set which page will be your designated “blog page” if you would like to.

Good morning!
