In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Change "leave a reply" form to a Contact 7 form?They have a helpdesk article on how to change that email. Here it is:
Which browser are you using? A lot of times Chrome and another browser will give you a “500” error when it is actually a php error. You can check if it is a php error by finding your php error logs. I know by default Bluehost has theirs saved to error_log in the folder that created it.

In reply to: Renaming/directing WordPress page installedYou need to actually move the files. You need to move everything in your /blog folder to be in the folder for site.com. Bluehost has there File Manager that you can access from your cPanel. That will allow you to move the files.
I am not sure about the that plugin, but I know that Simple Scripts with Bluehost should make it pretty easy to install wordpress. After that I believe you should be able to use that plugin to copy over your content.

In reply to: A question about self-hosting! :)Ok so I did a lookup on your domain, and I show that it is pointed to wordpress.com. Unfortunately wordpress.com does not allow you to install new themes like that. If you want your site hosted at Bluehost you need to go to wordpress.com (they seem to be your registrar) and change your name servers to Bluehost’s name servers. Their name servers are:
ns1.bluehost.com
ns2.bluehost.comItt will take about 24-48 hours for your name servers changes to take affect. After that your site will be hosted at Bluehost and you will be able to install your theme.

In reply to: Backup for WordPressBluehost has a backup service that backups your sites, and you can restore from it. The only thing is they don’t guarantee it. In other words they don’t want you getting mad at them if they don’t have a backup you need. I always suggest you backup your own information just to make sure. When I backup my sites I just zip up the wp-content folder and export the database. That really has all the information you need.

In reply to: A question about self-hosting! :)You may need to download a new copy and upload it again. That one could have gotten corrupted. The other thing you can do is upload it through your wordpress dashboard. Go to the Appearance, then Themes, and click the Install tab. There should be an upload button there. This will automatically upload it and extract it to the correct place.

In reply to: Blog is gone. Is this a WordPress, Bluehost, or 8Bit problem?The problem is the HTTPS. The certificate it shows when you visit is Bluehost’s shared ssl. In order to use it your url would have to be https://secure.bluehost.com/~cutthere (since cutthere is your username). Of course wordpress is URL specific so you would need to change the wp-url settings if you wanted to use this.
I would suggest not using HTTPS, or you can simply buy an ssl certificate.
I hope this helps!

In reply to: my plugin on new web host breaksOn Bluehost your php errors are reported to a file called error_log, in the folder that caused the error. Also did you set your plugin to report it’s errors using wp_debug? If so you can just change your wp-config.php to have true for wp_debug, which will make your errors print on the webpage instead of just showing a white screen.

In reply to: Music Player Links Don't Work :(From the tests that I have ran on both sites, they work the same. On https://dev.alieneila.net/ there is no play bar at the bottom, when you click the link it opens a new page with only the player and it plays. On https://www.enberwebsite.com/musictest/ if you right click on the link to the mp3 and click open in new tab, it plays exactly the same.
From what it looks like it is a problem with the player on the frontpage trying to load it. You may want to contact the person who made the plugin.
My other suggestion is a different plugin. I have had good experiences with this one:

I hope that helps.
They do have live chat. I use it all the time. I actually find the best tech support normally comes from their live chat. It seems like their senior agents do the chats.
You will need to restore the default wordpress files. I would suggest contacting Bluehost to see if they have a backup for you.
In Bluehost the default setting is to report all php errors to a file called error_log. They should be able to help you find the file on the server. That will tell you what the error is.

In reply to: Can't access my site at all- Error 500That means that your genesis theme is causing php errors. You can get a new theme or a new copy. If you are really good you could go into functions.php for the theme and fix the php error.
