Why not just use wp as a content management system? all the design is (is html) anyways with php tags for the blog. Its sorta hard to explain. Design it how you want your website to look and instead of blogpost, make pages (sorta like blog post) for your content.

There are separate templates pages for both.

index.php (not matter how its styled refers to the blog index) so if you have a static page as an index page it will pull the design from page.php

cant tell you unless you link us to the website, it helps even if its not all finished. it can be any number of things. are the permissions set right on the images themselves?

I suggest this method, but otherwise that link is pretty self explanatory, you would have to dl the files or edit via FTP. You can have your web guy fix it but it can also be done in a minute or two.

If you know how to access phpMyAdmin on your host, then you can edit these values directly to get you up and running again.

1. Backup your database and save the copy off-site.
2. Login to phpMyAdmin.
3. Click the link to your Databases.
4. A list of your databases will appear. Choose the one that is your WordPress database.
5. All the tables in your database will appear on the screen.
6. From the list, look for wp_options. Note: The table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed it when installing.
7. Click on the small icon indicated as Browse.
8. A screen will open with a list of the fields within the wp_options table.
9. Under the field option_name, scroll down and look for siteurl.
10. Click the Edit Field icon which usually is found at the far left at the beginning of the row.
11. The Edit Field window will appear.
12. In the input box for option_value, carefully change the URL information to the new address.
13. Verify this is correct and click Go to save the information.
14. You should be returned to your wp-options table.
15. Look for the home field in the table and click Edit Field. Note There are several pages of tables inside wp_options. Look for the > symbol to page through them.
16. In the input box for option_value, carefully change the URL information to the new address.
17. Verify this is correct and click Go to save the information.
18. Delete the folder wp-content/cache (this is a new folder added with WordPress 2.0).
19. That is it.

He means what directory such as

yourhosting/yourdomain <—- root directory

or is it some place else like

yourhosting/yourdomain/blog………

your post is very unclear, but have you tried to change the theme under the appearance tab? A lot of host preinstall a lot of themes, maybe you just need to change it.

Just stating the obvious because I do not know what you are really trying to accomplish or what you have dont to try and change the theme

No the host is not your university, they are for the site that is hosted on them but you need a host for your .com on in order to mirror the other website ??

No I do not mean google. I know nothing about google apps, I know my host has it as an add on but that is it. But I guess in this case google is your host, and what I meant by register is the place where you registerd your domain at.

My host handles my mirror for me but I have to add said domain to the hosting in order to pick that option.

If you mirror a website it will show your new domain in the address bar but the site itself is still hosted on the schools website.

When I meant host, I thought you had got hosting for your new domain. Perhaps your register will let you point the domain to the other website, but I am pretty sure you need some type of domain hosting to be able to do that.

Depends on if you mirror is, I do not know nothing about google apps, can I ask who your host is, Usually there are a few different methods to forward domains.

And, not so much missed. Everyone here are volunteers just helping people out, so people might not have the answer you are looking for, eventually someone will come along ??

Sure??? sure what? Sure it worked, sure it didnt? are you sure esmi that I should delete it? Sorry I just dont know what sure is suppose to mean ??

Most host have a default index.html page in the root directory. Wp used index.php so if you have both in there try deleting the index.html file and try pointing your domain to the index.php file to see if you can run the install.

Please dont bump threads after an hour, it pushes everything else down and yours was still on the front page.

Have you read the codex on moving wordpress? Do you wish to move everything to a different server or do you just want to point the domain to the school url

Well, sorry. I took the time to respond to you, you took the time to ignore (and not even check out) the solution that was there, and you come back and say how can i reset my blah blah blah without my email. Could have just avoided it all if you paid attention to what I said the first time instead of coming off like you did.

Clearly if you took the time to read what I wrote and read what I linked you to you would realize there are other ways, as I stated, to reset your password.

There are a few ways to reset your password. Refer to the following. (mainly at the bottom)

More than likely something got changed in the database (ie the url to the site or directory) and that is why it is unreachable, I would have her log into her database and double check the settings.
