Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrading From WordPress.com? (Half done)NEVERMIND! Just as I thought I was going crazy, I got it to work! Just changed the host name/login info in the wp-config.php file to the one from my new host, then used FileZilla to put all the files from the wordpress directory into the root directory of my website, and it got me to the setup page, and everything seems to work!
Best moment of the day!Thanks for all your help, it really did help!

In reply to: Upgrading From WordPress.com? (Half done)Wait a second, in FileZilla, I can see in the “remote site” section, there is /joshhpmusic.co.nf (Which is the domain I setup) and inside that folder is just an Index.html file.
Does this help at all? Should I copy my WordPress files into this folder or something? And which files/folders exactly?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrading From WordPress.com? (Half done)It’s very hard for me to understand a lot of what it’s saying there.
I have a new domain name setup already, my wordpress.com blog has been installed on www.remarpro.com, (locally) and I just want to connect the two. I want to put my blog, which is only setup locally right now, online, using the domain I have with my hosting. I have all the mySQL info, and have setup the database with MAMP, and I have all the FTP info, and it’s connected in my FTP client. And I’ve updated the mySQL host/database/login info in wp-config.php. And I know that I’m suppossed to be using the home/www directory.
I just don’t know exactly where to go from here.

In reply to: Upgrading From WordPress.com? (Half done)Ok, so just found the info, and connected.
FileZilla says “directory listing successful” and it seems to have connected.
Now somehow I need to upload my WordPress files? Which files?
Sorry, I’m not too experienced in this, but you’ve been very helpful!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrading From WordPress.com? (Half done)I have FileZilla. Now to connect, I need the Host, Username, Password, and Port.
I have all of these except for Port. How would I know this?
Also, a bit confused on what the FTP path should be set to (by me). It is currently: home/wwwForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrading From WordPress.com? (Half done)Well ok, I’ve already installed wordpress using MAMP, (Im on a mac) and I’m trying to set everything up now with my host, but things are now getting tricky. I’ve been following this guide: https://wpcandy.com/teaches/how-to-install-wordpress/#.US64daWbEvN
I’ve gotten through a lot of it, but I’m trying to enable FTP on my mac so MAMP can share the files properly.
Starting to get lost….Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrading From WordPress.com? (Half done)So I know some of you will be mad, but I signed up at Biz.nf. My blog just isn’t that big of a thing anyways, and I’m not going to spend $60-$160+ a year just for this. So I now need to link up my www.remarpro.com blog to the hosting server, but I’m a bit confused where to start

In reply to: Upgrading From WordPress.com? (Half done)I don’t have those at the moment, but can get them. Is it okay to buy a domain from GoDaddy? And I’ll try to find a good host, maybe Biz.nf? I don’t need any kind of elaborate hosting, as I don’t recieve a ton of traffic, and don’t post constantly. After I get these, what’s the next step?
