Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: New to WordPressAbout the best advice I received was to install a theme you like into your host thru ftp. Then install web developer and edit css add ons onto Firefox.
You can right click and chose edit css right from your blog front page and edit it then see what it looks like right then. Then make it pernament by saving it in edit template in the presentation tab. Hope this isnt confusing. Best advice search around here alot.

In reply to: How do I upload plug-insNot quite that simple but it is pretty easy. You have to fire up your ftp program and log into your host. Then go to wp-content/plugins. This is the place you place plugins. Heres a link for more info on plugins. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Managing_Plugins

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionSomething is incorrect.
I would either log into call hostgator or go to the database settings/manager. It should show the database you made along with the host name for it. If your DB name, DB user name and pass are correct. Providing wordpress with the right hostname should fix it.

In reply to: wp_config.php DB config problemsSounds like that will fix the problem. On most hosts you don’t have to change the last field.

In reply to: Can’t InstallDatabase names I think need to be different, if not it won’t install right.
I really do not think that two databases are necessary, but just a different directory.
