I OWE YOU BIG TIME, it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.

I’m not sure what caused this issue, but I changed my password to be more complicated

stringingalong.com, btw

I’ll give that a try thanks! I would happily thank you with an item off my site ??

I REALLY appreciate the help. When I first started all this I had someone tell me I had no business having a website because I wasn’t as tech savvy as they were….so to get advice that is useful is such a help. Thank you.
I’ll give that a try and report back

My goal today was to go in, make a full back up of my site and then start changing almost everything, I can’t even login to start

By the way, thank you all for trying and answering. In most situations with technical issues I am the village idiot, but I usually find a way to stumble through and figure it out. Thank you fo being helpful and not at all condescending to a tech dork.

Bluehost

It doesn’t seem as simple as clearing my cache/history unfortunately. As for the PHP admin, I’m lost.

Not sure what to do. Nothing seems wrong with my site, I just can’t login to do anything with it, I’m not sure what happened or changed. I took two months off from work and just today tried to get back in the swing of things only to not be able to even begin due to this simple problem, with a seemingly not simple answer.

Since my wordpress is a hosted site, would it do any good to contact my host?

Yes, I reset it and was e-mailed a new password. I put it in, nothing. I tried this four times and everytime it says
“The password you entered for the username admin is incorrect. Lost your password?”

I’m at a loss.

RESET, oops

Thank you for your help Mosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried wp-ecommerce. My images showed up way too big or fuzzy, and would only open in the same window, thus making users have to hit the back button. Imagine you are a 50 year old woman shopping for stuff online, maybe you wouldn’t know to hit the back button…I wanted my site user friendly.

Oh and when I try to buy a product, I get this error:

We cannot process this transaction because there is a problem with the PayPal email address supplied by the seller. Please contact the seller to resolve the problem. If this payment is for an eBay listing, you can contact the seller via the “Ask Seller a Question” link on the listing page. When you have the correct email address, payment can be made at https://www.paypal.com.

Do I need to enter my paypal e-mail address? With my other pages on my site , I never did, I clicked on “add to cart” and it took me to a paypal screen and I checked out from there. Click on any of the product pages on the left to see what I mean:
Page set up using Dukapress
https://www.stringingalong.com/products/butterfly-swirl-necklace/

Page set up using paypal buttons
https://www.stringingalong.com/products-page/beautiful-swirls/

Also, on the checkout page, I don’t want people filling out their info AT ALL on my site, I want it to go straight to paypal, and ONLY allow shipping to the U.S and Canada. Can I do this? I do not want anyone putting their address info into my site, that should be private and between paypal and the customer.
I’m beginning to worry this was a mistake with jumping on buying this plugin so fast.

Okay, so I can’t get it to show up on the left hand menu as a page at all, but YES I am using dukapress
https://www.stringingalong.com/products/butterfly-swirl-necklace/

I still can’t get the images to show up with lightbox, and as I said, it won’t show up on the left hand links at all.

My original questions still stand:

I would like my products to show up on a grid, instead of how they show up now

The pictures as they are now are of too big a file size, I can fix that and make smaller images myself. Once that is done, how do I put multiple images on a page with a grid?
like this:
https://madoido.com/styles1/

And can I upload more then one picture of each item?
like this, but with two or three images for EACH ITEM…

I am using dukapress, I need to get it initially set up, and then if that works I may buy the enhanced edition
