In reply to: Replaced my temporary URL in admin too early, now I can't get back!What you are doing is Pointing your Name Servers to Bluehost from the company where you registered the name. It can take up to 72 hours, but is normally done in under 24 hours. You are probably safe to do it now, but you can always change the URL back if it’s not working.
The part you pasted about:
Status: clientDeleteProhibited
Status: clientRenewProhibited
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Status: clientUpdateProhibitedThose are for your domain registration. It looks like you are not transferring your domain registration yet to Bluehost. You can do this also, but have to wait until after 60 days from the domain purchase date to transfer it. Your site will still go live with Bluehost just fine with the Name Server pointing until then.

In reply to: Help! Changed Temporary URL and cannot access my site.Since you installed the WordPress at https://66.147.240.157/~sailstar/starlight that means your permanent URL is going to be https://www.sailstarlight.com/starlight instead of just https://www.sailstarlight.com
Use the steps from esmi to change the URL to https://www.sailstarlight.com/starlight to get access to the Dashboard again. Or use these instructions from Hostmonster:

In reply to: Changing the URL & template has messed up!Yes, when you go from the Temp URL to the domain name, change both of the URLs. This can be done from the phpMyAdmin tool or you can do the same change from inside your WordPress dashboard, if you have access. They are in the General Settings area.

In reply to: Changing the URL & template has messed up!swilliams4: If it’s adding the extra extesion at the end multiple times like that, it’s probably your Permalinks code that’s not right.
Go into your Permalinks section of the WordPress Dashboard. Don’t make any changes on this permalinks page, but simply click the Save button at the bottom. That will cause the .htaccess code to be rewritten to match your site URL and should fix that issue.
Any time you change the Site URL and WordPress URL, go back into Permalinks and just save them again without making any changes to the Permalinks settings.

In reply to: Hostmonster and WordPressThat gtmetrix report also says a few things about your CSS. It says to Minify your CSS, Use efficient CSS selectors, and Remove unused CSS.
The CSS of your site is going to be about your Theme. If you don’t want to edit the CSS of the theme, you could try a different theme instead that’s written better.When you go to the YSlow tab of that report, it also mentions you can get a CDN and that you should not scale your images in HTML.
For the images part, it means that if the picture is showing smaller on your page than the original picture, to reduce the pic permanently and save it smaller then upload it so it doesn’t have to shrink it every time someone visits your site.
For the CDN option, I know that Hostmonster does offer a free CDN called CloudFlare in your account that you can enable in your cPanel there.

Bluehost has a tutorial for this also:

In reply to: 404 Error above header of all pagesThe 404 page above your site is definately a hack. Currently your site of fcdfoods.com does not show the 404, so hopefully you’ve fixed it.
Make sure to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress and latest Plugin and Theme versions for all of your site installs to make sure you’re not hacked again right away.

In reply to: How to change site's email?You can set the email address for your WordPress by logging into your Dashboard as the admin.
Just go to the General Settings page to set the email address.
The other requirement is that this email address must exist in your Bluehost account to use it. So make sure you have it created in your Bluehost cPanel or it will still use username@box#.bluehost.comForum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Sub-Domain 1&1, Host BlueHost, Moving from MAMPIf it’s doing different things with different browsers, then you need to clear at least the Cache and maybe Cookies from both browsers then you will see the true site from both. (Redirects can be remembered in the browser cache)
Sounds like you need to have Bluehost restore the WordPress files and Database (both) from the backup, or maybe you have more than one WordPress install in your account and they’re getting confused or pointing to eachother.

In reply to: Can't logon to either installations of WordPressIn your settings for the https://blog.st-john.or.jp/ewordpress installation, you have the WordPress and Site URL set to https://st-johns-congregation.com/English_blog
Then in the settings for https://st-johns-congregation.com/English_blog you have the WordPress and Site URLs set to https://blog.st-john.or.jp/jwordpress (which is an empty wordpress blog)
You might need to manually edit the databases to have the correct URLs before you can log in again.
Here are instructions that Bluehost has for how to do this:
https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/wordpressurlFor your last question about Page 2. You might need to go to your permalinks settings and just click “Save” without changing anything. That can sometimes fix links in your site. (But do this after you have the URL thing fixed).
To use two different hosts, you must use subdomains, not subdirectories. A subdomain is like blog.domain.com
So you can have your main site of domain.com pointed to one host, and a subdomain like blog.domain.com pointed to another host. You do this pointing by creating A Records or C Names in your DNS settings to point to each hosting company.
To setup one wordpress while a different one is live to the public, you will have to have a separate installation on a subdomain, then move it when you’re ready to go live.
