Thanks to a genius named Radek Slaz, solved this one: the plugin W3 Total Cache was the culprit. Not sure if I had it misconfigured or what but when I deactivated it, all was well.

Ah, the dreaded loops! I was hoping to be able to avoid having to jump through those.

Yes, I’m comfortable with html and css. I just don’t speak loops. Guess it’s time to learn the language. Any suggestions for a painless way to get up to speed with them?

Solved the error problem. Now working on the comments issue.

Not quite clear …

– I know how to design pages using HTML and CSS. How much PHP will I need to know to create a “home.php” page?

– “Copy index.php.” Copy the content of index.php (see below) to home.php?

– Does my final, newly-minted home page, go in the Theme folder as “home.php” or is it then renamed “index.php”?

FYI: My Theme’s default index.php code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content" class="clearfix">
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<div id="left">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/wp-loop.php"); ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks.

Thanks!

SamsChoice, I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean by “NOTICE 4 w’s.” Or why you included a link for the CSS file. Please explain. Thanks.

Well, as best I can tell, the Permissions are okay. (GoDdaddy doesn’t use the numbering system in your help file, instead it uses “Owner permissions: Read, Write and Execute (directory)” and each of these are checked.)

One, possibly small, thing: the “xmlrpc.php” file refuses to be put in the “wordpress” directory. When I try to move it, Dreamweaver says it “cannot be moved to his location.”

Any other suggestions, ideas?

Thanks.

Some progress, but not all the way.

– Editing wp-config brings the site sort-of back to life, minus theme and styling … https://iphonesatwork.com/wordpress/

– But I can’t login to https://iphonesatwork.com/wordpress/wp-login.php. When I try to login I get a “DNS Error – Cannot Find Server.” (Also I got this error when testing it on IE: “Forbidden. You don’t have permission to access /wordpress/wp-login.php. on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.33 Server at iphonesatwork.com Port 80.”)

Sorry about the multiple posts. I was sort of addressing different issues.

1) Not the folder, but the contents of the folder, yes. A few times now. That was my initial goal, to move the contents of “wordpress” to the root level. I think something, perhaps via a plugin (?), got corrupted when I was making the path edits in the General Settings (or the Permalinks) area. When I clicked whatever the button said (“Save,” “Update”?) an error message (403? 404?) appeared.

Currently, the original, edited install is there in its “wordpress” directory (except I’ve renamed the Plugins folder, as per Samboll’s suggestion, although that didn’t seem to help). When I go to either wordpress/index.php or wordpress/wp-login.php it just times out.

2) Yes.

3) Shell access? I have access via Dreamweaver or GoDaddy.

Thanks for your interest.

Rakibul, the problem is worse than you realize. If you read my messages in the links I posted above you’ll see that I can’t login into my site nor is it visible any more.

Re: https://iphonesatwork.com

I was following the steps outlined in https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress to move WP from its “wordpress” directory (hosted by GoDaddy, fwiw) to the root directory of the site. It seemed very straightforward but something must have gone wrong because the sire didn’t display. I thought, “That’s a nuisance. But no problem. I’ve backed-up the WP folder on my PC (in Dreamweaver) — I’ll just delete the apparently corrupt one and replace it with the backup and things will be back to normal.” Which I did. But things are most definitely not back to normal. Now I have no access to the site via the login nor is the index.php visible.

The WP homepage (https://www.iphonesatwork.com/wordpress/index.php) now has this message: “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/i/p/h/iphonesatwork/html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/revolution-code-blue/functions.php:9) in /home/content/i/p/h/iphonesatwork/html/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 865”

When I try to login, I get an unstyled page and these messages: “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/i/p/h/iphonesatwork/html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/revolution-code-blue/functions.php:9) in /home/content/i/p/h/iphonesatwork/html/wordpress/wp-login.php on line 287

Here’s what a post looks like now (this from a link I put out on Twitter earlier today): https://iphonesatwork.com/wordpress/?p=299

Thanks. I ended up just making a Page and linking to it from within the form code, the way I do with regular HTML sites.

Where are the Posts and Pages you create in WP stored in the site directory? I looked all over and couldn’t see where.

Thanks. I’ll check out your references.
