duckpuddlenet

well i did it and put it in a different directory and it installed as wrdp2

and i still have my original blog

so im so happy i didnt lose anything

im gonna do what thommeredith said to do and reinstall wordpress and get another blog that way

and hope i dont lose my first blog

ok im using hostgator.

so i wont lose my first blog thats attached to my server once i reinstall the wordpress

firs im a chic lol and second i had to add the directoryindex.index.php to the cpanel

the page i created that i want to be static. would it work if i change the name to add the .php

for example if you go to my blog which is at https://www.duckpuddle.net/blog

on the right side you will see a page called DuckPuddle.net which is the page i want to be static

now if i change that page name to DuckPuddle.net.php will the coding catch it and automatically make a static page

ok good

im rereading that link from above and the more i read it the more confused i get

well thats what i had to do last nite just to get my blog to work i had to add a file called index.php in the .htaccess

ok from what i understand from that link i need to make a home.php file

in my .htaccess file i already have the following.

DirectoryIndex index.html
DirectoryIndex index.php

so where these two i have to add a that home.php

if you havent figured out yet im new to this whole thing so im still in the learning process

Handy when it says to change a file name im afraid that i might mess a file up. i already did that once and i dont wanna do that again

btw im blonde & a redneck so its not a good combination

when i created a blog at the wordpress site under options and under writing it asked if i wanted to make a page static.

but since then i decided that i wanted to have my wp blog on my own server and now that i did that. under the options section and under writing it doesnt have that option

hmm im not html savvy and that way looks way to hard for me to understand

Well I got it fixed i just had to change one thing in my cpanel and now it works for me

ok thanks for taking the time and helping me.

I’m going over to HG’s live help and see if i can get this all fixed

ok I will and this should fix everything.Before I add this to my tshirt site I want to make sure that this is going to work

ok so how would i fix this
