Correct Website not Publishing

so u have wp running locally running custom wpsite and now u want to upload custom site to a fresh install of wordpress?

Yes, I believe so. I have a custom made website that I can view when I login through WordPress. When I login to WordPress through Bluehost, I cannot see my custom site.

did u load your database to the new wordpress?

I don’t think so. I don’t really know what my “database” is. I exported my XML file from the website I created and imported to WordPress on Bluehost, but it’s not working.

I tried to follow those steps, but Bluehost does not have a “Simple Script” option.

Ok, so I followed the rest of the steps and I do already have WordPress installed under my domain name. My problem is that it’s a generic WordPress site, and not the one I created. I went to Tools – Import and imported my XML file, but it did not work.

when you goto live wordpress > pages/posts do you see a list of your pages/posts you created?

Yes, somehow I now see all my pages and posts, but the generic WP site is still is what’s published: https://www.gloriadeifamily.org/.

Thanks. I have it set to a static front page, but it’s still showing the generic webpage.

It looks like when I try to access other pages the information is there but not the formatting I created, and it’s still pulling all the information from the generic site, as seen here: https://www.gloriadeifamily.org/sunday-school/

Great I am seeing your content.

now add your theme and plugins

also, what page to you set as your home page?

How do I add my theme and plugins?

So, I have a “Welcome” page created, it says:

Permalink: https://127.0.0.1/wordpress/

And I set my homepage to the “Welcome” page. So maybe that’s what’s wrong? Can I edit the Permalink?

Thanks!

My theme is Minamaze Pro 1.8.14, btw. It’s showing up in my dashboard, as well. Not sure if that helps.

@candy, I am glad all is running and yes you can edit and should edit All “Settings” and yes the permalink too and set to use /post-name/ structure.

I also advise to set home page to one of your pages you created. further, just ftp your theme and plugins to live wordpress site.

You may want to youtube to learn the basics
filezilla and ftp wordpress themes and plugins

finally, any theme specific questions should be directed to developer of Minamaze Pro 1.8.14

Please mark thread resolved.
