Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Home Page Not LoadingI would suggest that your host puts and index.php file in the root of your hosting and this is being loaded instead of the WordPress index.php file.
To fix this I would download WordPress (big blue button top right of this page). Then unzip the package and copy the root index.php file to your public_html or htdocs folder on the server, overwriting any index.php file already there.

In reply to: Localhost php file warningsCan you login to your sites admin? If so the first think I would do is to update all the plugins and WordPress itself. Once everything is running up-to-date then it should fix some of those errors.

In reply to: Thumbnail Editing Does Not WorkDoes editing the images work when you add them to the content of a post or page? I ask because featured images are called in your theme as a specific size and therefore I wonder whether editing them will actually work?

In reply to: Help with CSS hover effectI have access the site that is working and disabled javascript in my browser. The hover links then do not work and therefore I would suggest that the hover effect uses Javascript as well or in place of CSS. Perhaps that is a start.

In reply to: Edit UndoUnless you have turned them off, WordPress saves revisions of you posts/pages and therefore you should be able to roll back. Take a look here:

In reply to: Trying to change header text to our logo (image) Techism Theme*You could use CSS to style this.
Try adding the following to your style.css file:
header.site-header { text-indent: -9999px; background-image: url(images/image.jpg); background-position: left center; background-repeat: no-repeat; }
Then add the image to your themes images folder named image.jpg. You may also need to specify a height and width.
