    I've been trying for a week and many installs to put WP on my website and getting very frustrated. I had it today but it overroad my home page. I've looked on my file manager in c-panel and I have a couple of WP directories still on, even though I uninstalled it in the simplescrpts.
    I would like to use it but can anyone help me with this installation?
    Thanks for any help at all

    Another question and maybe a more direct one is;
    Am I able to load wordpress in my website, and still have my template kept that I've used for the website. I'm not sure if that makes sense but hope this helps clear up my problem.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Yes I used simplescripts and installed wordpress, but it did'nt show up on my website, accept a couple days ago it became my home page.
    I did'nt want it to be my main page as I would like it integrated on my blog page on my website. Would this be considered the sub page on my website?
    I did'nt see an error message accept it was saying the ftp was'nt working, so thru my hosting site I got that fixed.

    2. Now you unable to install WordPress??

    When I went into the file manager in my c-panel after I had uninstalled wordpress, I still had the files from wordpress on the public string. So I did'nt obviously uninstall everything from wordpress.
    Since then I have still been trying to install wordpress, so I might be overriding something, but I'm just not sure at this point.

    Phoe: When you install WordPress through SimpleScripts, there will be an option for where you want to install it. Type in the box: blog

    Doing that will allow you to install it in a blog folder instead of having it overwrite your main website.

    Also, if your main website is still missing, you'll want to restore that from a backup or re-publish it. If you don't have something from which to restore it, check with your host and see if they have a backup that they can restore for you.
