insuraati

Resolved. Its nothing serious

All resolved

Hi ALL, who will stumble on this page with similar problem.
Here is what finally worked.
I contacted support of bluehost, many techy guys, self proclaimed gurus of WordPress etc etc but ALL the advice they gave amounted to Zilch !

” The problem was in the installation of WordPress itself. The simple scripts or fantastico or MOJO please stay away from automatic installs as they just don’t delete the previous databases and overwrite them creating all sorts of funny scenarios where WordPress is left to battle it out with traces/remains of their ancestors while you pull your hair at front end.

SOLUTION : Manually install the WordPress. And before that MANUALLY delete all the old databases and users by accessing them through your file manager provided by respective hosting. I did that and now happily have a https://www.mysite.com/blog
For some this may never become a problem but if it does then the solution is what i have listed above.
Thanks and hope that it helps someone

Hi,
My website at insuraati.com can’t seem to have a https://www.insuraati.com/blog

being setup. I created a page named blog, published it, also changed the settings at readings to have a static front page and then posts to show under blog but https://www.insuraati.com/blog takes me to the bluehost page ?? What am i missing here …
Do i need to install wordpress in a separate directory i.e wordpress/blog ? would it work then …. As bluehost guys asked me to install wordpress in the root in the first place …. Who is right ? As i seem to have tried both

Hi Tim,
I ran wordfence scan and it gave this error

WordPress core file modified: wp-config-sample.php

Is it safe to ignore this in future scans too ? And what does this exactly mean ? Hope not something serious …
Thanks

Thanks for the reply , Yes i had created a blank blog page and pointed it as well but that didnt solve the issue . Now finally i had to make my front page for blog posts and About page as static page …..

Hi , I have a similar problem driving me nuts !

I made a website, installed wp and all was fine. Then one day i had this dream to have a static page as my front page. So listening to my calling i did the Setting > reading > front page , magic and set blog posts to ” blog ” page …. All were living happily ever after UNTIL i decided to change the permalinks from ” Default ” to ” Post ” ….. Now my https://www.mywebsite.com/blog takes me to My hosting page ?? What have i done here …. As abundantly clear , i am awfully new at all this so pleae HelPP
P.S …. Changing Permalinks back to default puts back everything in order

Hi to all. Why my home button at insuraati.com takes me back to where i came from i.e insuraati.wordpress.com ? I installed wordpress on bluehost and then imported the whole theme from insuraati.wordpress.com as well … Which somehow left the title logo back there ?? Any Help would be welcome . Thanks

Travelwriter13 , Loads of gratitude for summing up such important issue in an all encompassing reply. I am certainly much better placed to take few important decisions down the lane. The length of your reply seems directly proportional to the amount of pain you must have gone through during this ordeal. Absurd would be an understatement to describe this devil may care attitude of some automated mechanism in place.
Considering your prowess as web developer and SEO besides managing travel destinations i guess i can help myself a great deal by taking a leaf out of your experience book. Kindly contact at [Redacted]

Feel deeply sorry , shocked and scared all at the same time as this seems to be a storm brewing somewhere ..
