    Hi I am new to the whole website building and have finally managed to install WordPress (which is suppose to take 5 minutes).

    The problem that I am having is that when I click "view page". My domain login site comes up rather than the example of my page. They are not in sync somewhere along the line. Please can someone help.

    Thank you

    There is probably an index.html or home.html file in the same directory as the WordPress index.php file. Remove the index.html or home.html file, either via FTP or your hosting provider's file manager, and all should be fine.

    Ahh, sorry James, I didn't think it would be that easy.

    My domain name is http://www.jonathanricksphotography.com

    I am trying to set up a holding page at the moment.

    I can now press preview on WordPress which comes up with the
    http://www.jonathanricksphotography.com/?page_id=18&preview=true&preview_id=18&preview_nonce=5351632ca0

    However I need this this design to feature on; http://www.jonathanricksphotography.com

    I hope I'm making sense, I have been staring at my laptop for hours

    Thanks
    Max

    I can't view the preview without being logged in.

    I think this is what you're trying to do:
