I’m having problems installing the backup file. I tried doing it through databases and phpmyadmin, but it told me my file was too large. So I went to my hosting company and the girl said I needed to manually update file to ssh. I have no idea on what that is. Since my last attempt to update it, the site is now redirecting and that IS NOT what I want it to do. All so this is not my site, it is a friend’s site that I work on. The site is https://www.whomebealeader.com.

That’s what I’d planned on doing, exactly what you noted, but I couldn’t find the wp-content/themes…folder. I planned on deleting it.

It’s fixed, though. I hired a guy who did it in two seconds, flat!!! I’m glad to have met him, though. I’ve been waiting to get my blog worked on, designed. The lady I wanted to do it wasn’t unavilable until Aug. Sept of this year. But I’ve now met P.J. He lives not even five miles from me, so that’s excellent. Plus my husband is about to begin doing work online and will need a site and blog, so P.J. can just be our IT person.

Thank you very, very, much for your help and support!

Oh, Inspire2Write, you have inspired me, thanks. I did get into my FTP and got files loaded and all, but I don’t see anything from my blog. I also don’t know how to get into them. I keep clicking, but they don’t open for me to see what’s inside. They do something else instead.

My husband’s friend has a computer guy who I’m going to see tomorrow. I will try to watch and learn if I don’t have it up by then. I just know nothing at all about this stuff, so it’s taking long. I haven’t a clue about a .PHP, although, I’m seeing it quite often now.

Anyway, thanks for the follow. I’ll follow you back. I will be sure to let you know what happens.

Thanks. Smile

Ive never wanted to cry and pull my hair out the way I do now! My blog has almost been down for a full 24 hours! I wish I’d stayed with wordpress.com, now, but that’s a totally different subject.

Thank you so much for your help, Inspired2Write. I do believe due to your prompting, I will learn how to do this … yet. I found out I do have a FTP with my bluehost, but it’s all still very GREEK and GEEK to me. Right now, my password isn’t going through w/the download of my FTP, so I’m re-reading through the instructions. I don’t like doing this AT ALL, and think WordPress is waaay too complex for me. I really wish I’d stayed w/blogger. It was waaaay simplier. I’m really tempted to just go somewhere else… What has happened to the days when one can get on the phone and call for help. Especially when money is being spent!

I plan on recommending to others not to do this self-host mess, just get your own domain name. Period. My entire day has been stifled and I still am no where near figuring this mess out!

Sorry, I really don’t mean to unload on you, but I choose WordPress thinking they were top-notch and I haven’t found that to be so at all. All I’ve had was one hard problem to tackle after the next when it wasn’t all that bad, now, looking, with Blogger. Maybe WordPress is more for the Geekey people who like such challenges. I’m not one of them, though.

Again, thank you very much for your help and leading me in the right direction.

Okay, I’m sorry, but how do I do that?

Thank you
