Update: I spoke with BlueHost and they did something so that my website now works using the original URL, which is progress, but I would like it to be with my new URL.

Ok, I just triple checked the new url’s settings and double checked the steps they provide for changing the nameservers (link below) and they seem good to me. My original URL isn’t working either, so I haven’t been able to work on anything for nearly two weeks now ??

Thanks for the reply Ron. Do you recommended that I reverse/undo everything I had done before and then instead try one of those plugins? (Sorry, I know very little about these sorts of things!)

Hello anyone,

It has now been 9 days since I pointed the nameservers to Bluehost and about a week since changing the URL through phpAdmin and there are still been no progress. Is this normal? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Oh ok, thanks for the quick response innuvo! I changed the nameservers on Saturday. Will the fact that I changed the URL name through the codex instructions before the nameservers have completely propogated effect things at all?

Nevermind! I after hours of searching I was able to easily fix the problem using this link

Thanks for the response anyways skylarmoonlight! ??

Perfect, thank you! ?? ??

Will do, thanks.

Ok, thank you.

Another question lopwaj,

The code I had entered above was to add a new widget area (a header widget) to my page. After I used your solution, I did a bit more research and found a different code to try to add a widget area and the same problem happened again. Do you know why this may be happening?

Thank you lopwalj!! I was very worried, but all is good now. Thanks again!
