I’m troubleshooting here and wondering about the following files in my /home/ folder should not be there or should be somewhere else. They are as follows:
.addon-installolg; .addonscgi-Coppermine; .addonscgi-Geeklog; .addonscgi-MamboOpenSource; .bash_logout; .bash_profile; .bashrc; .contactemail; cpaddons_notify; .cpanel-ducache; .filter; .ftpquote; .htaccess.bak; .htaccess.bk; .htaccess.bk1; .htaccess.txt; .htaccess2; .lastlogin; .mailboxlist; .spamassassinboxeanble; .spamassassinenable; .zshrc;

I also have the following strange looking folders in the /home/ file:
.paddons; .cpanel; .cpanel-datastore; .fantasticodata; .htpasswds; .neomail; spamassassin; .htpasswds; .neomail; .spamassassin; sqmaildata; .trash
access-logs; cgi-bin; cpmove.psql; etc; logs; mail;

I suspect the last two or three folders might be important – but all of them?

I’m just trying to get to the root of my problem with my main domain.

Any ideas?

I did as you suggested but nothing. Still nothing in Dashboard. Well, except a frame with small red x where the theme should have been.

None of the themes are visible in Dashboard. I will do as you suggest and get back to you. Thank you.

To continue. The “forbidden” error was not my fault but my new host. That’s fixed. However, I still don’t have themes in my site showing up.

I know. I’ve been crying for help but ………….

I did as you said and changed the Options but I still can’t get in wp-admin.

This is the message i get.
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You know what I noticed? The theme folder has the themes but they don’t show up on the site.

Hi MichaelH,

The permissions are all 777. I sent an email to “support” to check issues.

Could it have something to do with .htaccess or MySQL? The data is there but somehow not connecting.

What else should I check? Should I reinstall WordPress?

I’m talking about cPanel. I’m talking about MySQL database. From what I’ve read, you have to MySQLdump the data and then import it back into your new database.

Well it does have something to do with the blog. The blog has a database. If you move the database to another host/server, the name will change because the new host gives you a new username.

I did, indeed. In fact, all my files are at the new host. But, along with the new host is a new username. My database has the old username and that is the problem. How do I change the name of the database?

Thanks kmessinger but that didn’t work for me so I added:
<img class=”alignleft” style=”float: left; margin-left: 5px; vertical-align: top; margin-right: 5px;”

That did the trick.

Listen Cassia, I have the exact same problem with the exact same error message. So was this every resolved?

It didn’t work for me.

Yes, everything is writeable. It must have something to do with 2.5.1 because no matter what theme I use, where I can upload my own header, all of them give the same message.

Do you think that’s possible?
