Have you double checked the wp-config.php file to make sure the database settings are accurate? If needed just give the database a new username and password and plug that into the config file.

What background is it supposed to be? I’m showing a white background with random greenish/blue circles.

Looks like this guy figured out how to achieve something similar.

Make sure there is no whitespace after the ?> at the end of the pages. Have you tried downloading a fresh copy of WordPress and reinstalling it? How are you installing it? FTP? If so make sure the transfer protocol is set to binary.

So if you rename the plugins folder in the wp-content directory, then create a new (empty) plugin folder… you get the “insufficient permissions” error?

If you use the Facebook JavaScript SDK you can ditch that iframe. That might help your cause a little bit.

Load the SDK:

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({appId: 'your app id', status: true, cookie: true,
             xfbml: true});
  };
  (function() {
    var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
    e.src = document.location.protocol +
      '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
    document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
  }());
</script>

Add your like button:

<fb:like href="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php the_permalink()?>" layout="button_count"></fb:like>

More info on that here.

Mind linking me to the theme download? Or is this a premium theme?

Your host most likely isn’t the problem since the site (and WordPress) are up and running.

If you have not already, do exactly as you described. Rename your current plugin directory (ex// plugins-backup), and see if it brings your menu back. If it does, great. Then you can start moving each plugins file/folders into the new plugin directory one-by-one to find the offending plugin.

What version of WordPress are you running? If WP v3 do you use the native menu management? Do you use a plugin (like Menu Manager, etc) to manage your menu bar? Or do you use the themes built in menu and/or menu system?

I would check out this and this.

Try:

<?php wp_link_pages('before=<p>&after=</p>&next_or_number=number&pagelink=page %'); ?>

As for that box, link the site and I’ll take a look.

Throw your index and single up on pastebin and I’ll attempt to help.

First thing I noticed is the post title/permalink on your index.php is wrapped in a h1 header, vs. the single.php title is wrapped in a h2 header. Your single.php also has the post meta directly below the post title.

The post are loaded dynamically with AJAX from the looks of it. Quick Google search found this tutorial.

Very nice work!

Is the second site running WordPress?
