ahh man, your site is working fine on the non www. whats going on with your htaccess file man?

https://www.prestigernc.com/wp-login.php

whats wrong with this?

as long as your ISP supports what? opening port 80? They only thing your ISP can do is filter the port. If that is the case, you reroute the request with a dynamic dns service.

someone who is developing a local web shouldn’t need the hacking advice either.

Anyways, this isn’t really a WP issue, so w/e

nah, go do this.

Download WAMP
Download latest wordpress
Download notepad++
Download fileZilla (your host will have your ftp credentials)

install wamp to the root of your computer C:\WAMP
unzip wordpress to C:\WAMP\www
start WAMP
open localhost and go into phpMyAdmin
create a user by clicking privileges -> add new user
pick a generic user name
change host to localhost
make a password
pick the radio button that says create database with same name and grant all permissions

now you have what you need to install wordpress, so

go back to localhost and look for wordpress under projects
when you click on that, you’ll be doing the 5 minute install
put in that information you just used in those fields.

now you have exactly what you have in your godaddy site and an environment to learn in.

when you are comfortable with whatever theme your create using notepadd++, upload it to godaddy with filezilla

seems like the site is working to me.

I can see

and everything else i click on in navigation seems to be good content
top level navigation working good.

filezilla client.

yeah, the scripts you are looking at should have .php extensions. Those are the types of files that run wordpress. it is a php app.

This is why I recommend using notepad++ to edit them. This way, even tho you are new at programming in php, you will have the benefit of syntax highlighting which will help you understand better what you are looking at in those scripts.

I am guess you know html/css/js since you are looking to modify your template. So you’ll find out that in messing with wordpress, there is very little changes to be made to the script files. It’s more a logic process than a learning to code process.

Anyways, good luck to you. Check out the codex to get the details on what you can do with the php to customize that template. Otherwise, if you are just looking at UI stuff, you should be all set.

i know this is a tough problem, right?

One thing I probably should have mentioned.

I tried to create multiple index.html files under the categories. But quickly realized that wordpress won’t allow me to have pretty permalinks using the same post name even if they are in the same category.

This might be an advanced topic.

i’m getting blank pages everywhere on your site, but 200 server response headers.

your initial description sounded like a server problem, seems like you have some theme issues going on.

yeah, you are doing great now.

I would highly recommend downloading FileZilla so that way you can create your pages in a better editor like notepad++ (not windows notepad).

Then upload to godaddy, instead of being logged in there and trying to create edit rename etc in the web interface.

So now that you are in there tho, you can find your wordpress installation. You’ll want to look in wp-content/themes for the 2011 directory.

the template that is currently being used is called page.php. So just make a copy of that. Rename it, and if you want, you can go back in to wp-admin and edit there as well.

So you have 3 editing options.

Locally with something like notepad++ (the professional way)
On your website wp-admin (quick and dirty way)
On godaddy (the newb way *wink* )

do you have a domain name registered?

If you do, then you need to get a DNS service so that when someone looks up your domain name (types it in a browser) it resolved to your IP address.

This is one I used back in the day, I think it’s still free.

Other than that, the only way someone is gonna access your computer remote is through your IP address. AND if you want to serve them pages, you have to be listening on the http port 80. This means you need to open your firewall on that port. Not a big deal.

custom sidebar maybe?

are you hosted on windows or linux?

eessh…

is your localhost pointing at the hosted db? why not edit your local wp-config file and point back at your local db?

nah, that is the default. You should leave that.

BUT, once you get to the themes folder as I described, make a copy of that, change the name to whatever you want and put this in there

Template Name: Home Page Template

get rid of the comment block too. Everything between the /** and */

or add your own comments.

probably hosted on IIS
