What that is saying is that your domain name is not pointed to Bluehost. You need to contact the company you registered your domain through and have them point the name servers to ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com.

The error message you received was telling you that your domain wasn’t pointed to bluehost. Once that’s done it should clear up nicely.

You can force the from address to be a specific address using this method. https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/206

Can you explain what you mean by “internally” and “externally”?

It seems that notice is generated by the theme you are using. They’re required to provide some of the functionality the theme uses. If the theme dev didn’t provide a way to permanently get rid of notices, then the only way to do it would be to modify some code.

Can you provide information on what the script is? The file name or script contents?

It almost sounds like your site or home url is set incorrectly. Check both of those settings and make sure they’re set to https://www.jscc.edu

This is saying that PHP can’t find the function “mysql_select_cb”, which is not a native PHP function. It’s sounds like one of a few things. It’s possible you have some custom code in there that has broken with a recent PHP version update. Or, someone has been fiddling with the PHP and broke it. The closest PHP function I could find to the one it can’t find is “mysql_select_db”. Sounds like it could just be a typo.

There were some changes in WordPress 4.4 that effected WP_Widget. It looks like your “contentad” plugin hasn’t been updated to be compatible with those changes.

Internal server errors (error 500) are often caused by plugin or theme function conflicts, so if you have access to your admin panel, try deactivating all plugins. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme for your version of WordPress to rule-out a theme-specific issue. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.

If that does not resolve the issue, it’s possible that a .htaccess rule could be the source of the problem. To check for this, access your server via FTP or SFTP and rename the .htaccess file. If you can’t find a .htaccess file, make sure that you have set your FTP or SFTP client to view invisible files.

If you weren’t able to resolve the issue by either resetting your plugins and theme or renaming your .htaccess file, we may be able to help, but we’ll need a more detailed error message. Internal server errors are usually described in more detail in the server error log. If you have access to your server error log, generate the error again, note the date and time, then immediately check your server error log for any errors that occurred during that time period. If you don’t have access to your server error log, ask your hosting provider to look for you.

There is a plugin to disable the new embed features: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disable-embeds/

By customize do you mean you went into the Customizer itself, or did you open then page in the page editor? It’s likely that the option to change that page is not located in the Customizer.

It sounds like you have your settings set to be too lax. Going to Dashboard > Tools > Seriously Simple Spam Blocker and lower your confidence numbers. That will increase the strictness of the spam checking.

That Bluehost article is meant to migrate a www.ads-software.com install from another hosting company, as opposed to a WordPress.com to Bluehost.

That domain name is not pointing to Bluehost.

You should update your name servers to point to ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com and wait a few hours for the DNS to propagate.
