HandySolo – all fixed! I installed my phpMyAdmin program on Yahoo Webhosting, followed the directions off that site you gave me, and now everything works!

Thank you everyone for your help. It means a lot to me. ??

I don’t understand any of that SSH stuff. It’s Greek to me. But if I could find out how to access phpMyAdmin, I think I’ll be set.

It looks like that’ll do it. But I don’t know how to get to phpMyAdmin. I’m a total novice at this sort of thing.

Cypher, thank you for the quick response. I followed your directions, unfortunately I don’t have the technical know-how to understand what to change. Here’s what I see when I open up options-general.php. What exactly do I change?

Cypher,

Really bad news. I did just that – I changed the URI and now I can’t change it back. When I changed it and realized that it messed up the site, and I went to change it back, and now I can’t access any portion of my dashboard. Somehow when I changed the URI everything got screwed up. Now my entire blog is down and I have no way to fix it.

Can anyone help?

I was going to try that a while ago, but when I attempted, it said:

“Warning: Modifying this field will cause your permalinks to malfunction. We strongly recommend that you do not change this field.

Please note that this field should match the web address of your blog installation directory. If you chose to make your blog your home page when you installed WordPress, your blog was automatically configured to display at your domain. You should NOT change the value of this field to match your domain.”

During my initial installation, I must have missed the part where they gave me an option of making my blog my homepage. Is there anything I can do now to rectify this mistake?

Hey Zamber,

Thanks for the reply.

I’m confused. When I click on the link you provided, it takes me to the feed page. However when I copy and paste the link into the address bar, it goes nowhere. I found the part in the template where I replace the code, and I did so. But when I click on the link on my website, it goes nowhere (like when I copy and paste the link into the address bar). Why is that link only working when I click it from within this forum?

Thanks again.
