I do not understand this site

You need to go to https://www.YOURSITE.com/wp-admin to do anything with regards to changes to your site. There, at the top, you will see links that say “Write” and “Presentation”. Write is, obviously, where you write posts. In Presentation you can select the new theme you just uploaded.

Also, you should read some of the articles on the Codex.

Oh ok, thank you! The only problem is when i go to that url for my site, it does not show what it is supposed to. It has the hosts default page! Why is this?

um that’s weird, okay so you have to type in your domain
like say https://sims2crave.com/wp-admin

If you have installed wordpress on a directory other than your root (public_html) you must include this in your path!!

for example https://sims2crave.com/wordpress/wp-admin

Thanks for the fast help! But when i try both the root and the other path it is still the same! I dont understand why it wont work =(

Does your host have the web server setup to recognize index.php as a default page?

Hmm i guess it doesnt. I mean i just started this new site so i havent made any other pages, all i have uploaded is the word press stuff! So how do i know if that is the default page or whatever? I am using a free plan from byethost

Hmm I don’t really understand this totally, but there’s a good chance it has something to do with you using free hosting.

oh. well the host has MSQL, PHP and FTP.

quick test: go to https://www.yourdomain.com/blog/wp-admin/index.php

{change https://www.yourdomain.com/blog/ to match where you actually ahve the blog, of course}

Does that make things better? If it does, then contact the host to make index.php a default page — or, if your host offers cpanel or something similar, maybe you can do that yourself.

Oh ok that doesnt work. Since im a free plan i dont think they will care about my problems?! Well do you know a good host? I was looking at the host pages and BlueHost was the cheapest, only 6.95. Does anyone know if that is a good host or not? Or a different host i should use?

here’s some good hosts for you

https://resellerzoom.com I use them, it’s a reseller plan meaning you can host people, but it’s only $4.95/month and you get 2000 MB space.

https://mysitespace.com I used to use them, same price as above pretty much but less space

Sims, I don’t understand what you mean by “the default page.” Could you please give us the web address for your site.

Also, if you installed wordpress into a folder, can you give us the nameof that folder? I.e. it may have been the stock “wordpress” folder you got with the download.

https://sims2crave.byethost10.com/index.php

and i used the folder name “wordpress”

Going to https://sims2crave.byethost10.com/wordpress/ seems to send me right back to your main/home page. Do you have some redirects or rewrites going on?

https://sims2crave.byethost10.com/wordpress-2.0.2/wordpress/

That URL seems to point to your WP install.

PS: How is the bytethost service? Do they use cpanel? What kind of signup process is it? How are their features? Would you recommend them?
