Download WP using the red link at the top right of this screen.

Ok excellent. At least we’re seeing the list of files. The REASON we’re just seeing a list of files is because there’s no index.php As I said above… upload the main index.php to the “main” directory.

Ok… so it is “main”. Obviously the index.php you uploaded to that directory has been modified which is causing the error. Start by uploading a fresh copy of the index.php — the MAIN index.php.

Again….. where did you move them to?

For starters you haven’t moved all the WP files to their new location >> xmlrpc.php. And you say you moved them to a folder called “main”? https://fatblastzone.com/main gives an internal server error.

There IS a main index.php for WP. It’s not in a folder. It’s in the same area that contains the wp-config file. It IS there or your site would have never worked. You just NOW moved everything into a subdirectory called main? What’s the URL to your site?

my index.php file was in my wp-admin folder, so i moved it to my website root, per instructions

Uh… #1. you don’t MOVE the index you copy it and upload it to the root. #2. you don’t copy the index.php in the admin folder, you copy the index in the main WP folder.

Each error tells you where and what the problem is.

10 seconds is bad? At any rate it loaded in 4 seconds for me.

You have a lot of validation errors. You’ll wanna fix those as well.

The link you gave is where the Google page I linked to leads. As I said — it gave me a virus. I suggest scanning your comp.

Uhhh… where did you download it from? I followed the link here (so I could see if it would extract for me):

https://code.google.com/p/the-morning-after/

and upon extraction (it extracted perfectly) found it contained a virus. Luckily Comodo caught it. Perhaps that has something to do with the problem you’re having.

If you happen upon this post… DON’T DOWNLOAD THE MORNING AFTER THEME FROM THE LINK ON THE GOOGLE PAGE I POSTED ABOVE!

Still a bit miffed really.

Miffed why? If your blog is self hosted, it isn’t going to show up in a search at wordpress.com. That’s for blogs hosted there. I can’t figure out why so many people think when they install WP it’s somehow connected to either wordpress .org or .com. Sigh.

I’ve gone through all the menus, and am having a problem with what appears to be widgets along the right. We want to remove the blogroll, remove the RSS Feeds, remove Monthly Archives and Most Commented at the bottom, and I’m not sure what the “Featured” box is for.

Remove the widgets for those items.

We created several categories, but they’re not showing up.

Have you put the category tag (or cat widget) where you want the categories to show?

I created a Widget for the right, but it appears at the bottom (Information to Gobble Up).

You can drag the widgets into the order you want them to be in.
