If I switch themes and then go back will everything stay the same?

True!

Do you see any error in Chrome Developer Tools -> Console?

Also, are you able to turn on debugging temporary and copy/paste error message (if any) here?
To turn debugging on, you should edit your wp-config.php file in your root directory:

 // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

// Disable display of errors and warnings 
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

You can try with setting WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY to true and your error message will be shown on blank page (the page that you have issues with) or, if your site is in production, you should set WP_DEBUG_LOG to true and check the log in /wp-content/debug.log

The issue is in this portion of code

<div class="wrap rounded">
    <input type="text" class="search rounded" placeholder="Search ..." value="" />
    <button class="go" type="submit"><span></span></button>
</div>

You are missing form element wrapper, and your input is missing name attribute. Try with the following code instead:

<div class="wrap rounded">
<form method="get" id="searchformnotfound" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
    <input name="s" type="text" class="search rounded" placeholder="Search ..." value="" />
    <button class="go" type="submit"><span></span></button>
</form>
</div>

Hi Gary,

you should use “Custom links” instead of “Categories” for your top-level menu items.
So, on the left-hand side, choose “Custom link”, name it the same as your category name, but in URL field put the hash (#). Then, move your pages as sub-level below the custom link. That should make your top level link not clickable!

@stephencottontail Sure thing, thanks for the update.

Hi,

did you manage to fix the issue?
You should follow the easy process of installation mentioned by Palve.
After you upload files to your root directory, you have to create your database, and the database user and put that information into your wp-config.php. After you do that, you should just open the domain where your installations files are and installation should begin right away.

If you stuck on it, feel free to contact [email removed] and someone will help you free of charge.

Hi,

it seems that you fixed the issue? Your site opens normally right now.

That issue which you explained is often related with database issue (database is down in most cases). Where you host your website?

Hey,

as first, you should proceed with debugging. I see error 500 on your website. That means, there is a PHP error.

Open your wp-config.php in root directory, and find this line:
define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );

Change it to:
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

Also, below that line add the following line (change it to ‘false’ as soon as you catch the error):
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true );

Copy and paste error message that you see when opening your website and we will be able to help you!

Hey,

are you using Nav Menu Roles plugin? I see that your Menu Item has more options than with default installation. Did you try disabling that plugin used to determine which links are showing for the particular type of users? Does that fix your issue?

Hi,

did you try checking your .htaccess file? Did you follow installation instructions?
You can check in depth tutorial on how to install WordPress/create DB user here:

Also, you should check is everything fine with your .htaccess file (try copy/pasting WordPress defaults):
