In reply to: How to get Jquery to work in wordpressUsing jQuery in WordPress isn’t any different from using it elsewhere.
Step one would be to put this line in the <head> section of header.php:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>With that in place the code that you are copying and pasting should work.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionHi Sophie,
Where are you hosting your website?
Did you complete steps 3 and 4 on the 5-minute install?
3. Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
4. Open wp-config.php in a text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Change home pageWhatever you have set as your “Front Page” under the Reading section of the WP admin is what shows up as your home page. You can change it to any of the pages on your site through that drop-down menu. If you create a page called “Home” and then choose it as your Front Page, then that will become your home page.
What page is currently selected in the drop-down?

In reply to: Change home pageHi Will,
Do you actually have a “Home” page in your Pages? If not, create one and it should appear in that drop-down.
I’m having this issue as well and would very much like a fix!

In reply to: install not working, no admin loginAre you sure you put your files in the root directory?
I ask because when I stick /index.php on the end of your domain I get:
“The document name you requested (/index.php) could not be found on this server. However, we found documents with names similar to the one you requested. Available documents: /index.html (common basename)”
If WordPress is installed there should be an index.php file.
Sometimes it’s easier to delete everything and start over, step by step, than find the problem.

In reply to: Changing Site URLIt sounds like you need to go to Settings -> General within the WordPress admin and change your WordPress Address and Site Address to https://wytink.com. You shouldn’t have to make any changes within wp-config.php. You may have to go through and fix some of your links afterward.
***The moment you save this change you will get an error saying file not found!***
Open https://wytink.com/wp-admin and you should be back in business.

In reply to: WordPress messing up my HTML code!Yeah, it is just a WordPress thing. The HTML view is really a hybrid of the visual editor and a true HTML editor. A lot of code will be stripped the moment you switch to Visual but if you never switch it, I’ve found that your code will usually stay in place.
This plugin, Exec-PHP, hasn’t been updated in a long time but I use it regularly and find it very useful when I want to use code in a page:

In reply to: Using WP for both Main Site & Blog Site – HELP!You won’t be able to use two different themes on one site but there’s nothing on the rest of your site that you wouldn’t be able to rebuild with WordPress.
You would have to install WordPress in your root folder and then use pages for Home, About, Services, etc. and continue to use posts for your blog.
For your galleries you could either find a plugin that functions similarly or just continue to use the Flash galleries you have now.
You could install WordPress without removing any of your current content and then just delete or move your index.html file when you’re ready for the new site to take over.

In reply to: .org or .comYou could buy the .com, move your content over and then redirect the .org domain. Here’s a thread that explains how to do it:

In reply to: CSSYou’re missing an = sign in your icons div.
<div id = “icons”>
Correct that and then we’ll see what else is going on.
If it were me I would skip the individual tags for #twitter, #facebook and #google and make something like a “.social” class that covers all three of them.
