I am having similar problems – new to WordPress, new to blogging, and want to add a blog on my existing website. I am running XP Pro. The ISP that hosts my site is a linux site and only offers WP 2.2.2 within the Scripts Library. Tried over and over with various fixes, but the latest, after uninstalling and reinstalling is this: Installation goes fine, and I can login, and the links “Write…” “Update…” “Add…” and “Change…” all seem to work. But then… if I click the Title, trying to change the Text or look and feel, I get the blank screen and the browser address line indicates: https://192.168.94.49/~busybee/wordpress/
What’s happened?
Can the Default Theme be altered at all? Color? Even changing the text seems mysterious.
Finally, Can I use Swift Theme with WP 2.2.2. and can I upgrade WP on my website even though the ISP only provides the old version?
Thanks!
