Yes I have shared hosting and a domain already, but I’m a bit confused as to whether I should be looking to download WordPress or not… i.e. wp.org vs wp.com

I currently have it set up so that my NP++ is linked to my Filezilla and then my filezilla linked to my WordPress.com account… But I seem to be having trouble with in on a regular basis…

I was basically just wondering if the problems I’m having are to do with the fact that I have set it all up wrong or because of my sheer inexperience with running/developing anything like this…??

Any ideas…

How would you suggest I set things up so that I can create custom wordpress blogs…?

I know CSS and HTML but have no clue of PHP… I understand PHP and HTML are linked but are still totally different…

Any suggestions?

You’ve been very helpful.

1. So are you saying that Filezilla is not even relevant to wordress?
I was of the understanding that I have to use an FTP to transfer theme files (.e.g. header.php) to the server directory after I updated it/created on from scratch…?

2. Thanks for the link to ‘Hardening WordPress’, I’ll be sure to check that out!

Lastly,

3. I appreciate that hosting my own server is somewhat out of my skillset at the moment, so are you suggesting I stick with WordPress.com and its limited customisability?

Hi,

I’m using the Spacious theme for a blog in looking to learn WordPress on… An experiment basically!

But I notice that the genericons are not loaded automatically with the theme (they are not showing up in my FTP Client) BUT they are present on the site… I was playing around with them on Chrome’s “Inspect Element” thingy (I know this ‘thingy’ has a name… But maybe you could clarify!)

Why is this?
