Dear leeham69,
I see your problem! Have you tried creating a new database called “liamkelly” or is it just a separate folder within your dad’s account? This may be your problem as it would change how you set up your wp-config file
Hi christystjohn,
Yes I have created a separate database, made sure of this when I set it up!
But if you go to my site (liamkelly.xyz) and click contact you will see that it redirects you…
Right, I see your problem. liamkelly.xyz is not connecting to your pages (even your home page) as evidence by the error message. Thus, even though the theme is stored correctly, the link the the page content isn’t working. I would check the wp-config file
You might want to contact Godaddy and ask if your account can support 2 WordPresses in the configuration you have attempted.
What can you tell us about http://www.thearsenalhistory.com/ ?
christystjohn, what should I look for in the wp-config file?
And santaven, I will have a check now. I would expect it to as it’s the unlimited hosting plan
I had a look in the wp-config, I can’t see anything that would be causing an issue.
I think for now I’m going to build a site using bootstrap for now. I will give wordpress another go in the future (hopefully if I ever find out the problem or maybe if I just get my own hosting).
One of the moderators can delete this post if they want as the issue hasn’t been resolved
Thanks for your help anyway! 🙂

Is that your dad’s site?
What I have is 2 installations of wordpress on one godaddy hosting
I had a look in the wp-config, I can’t see anything that would be causing an issue.
If there’s two WordPresses there should be two wp-config.php files to consider. Seems to me you have installed the second WordPress “inside” the first one, as opposed to somehow properly “alongside”.

If you’re done with the topic, you the original poster should mark it resolved.
Yes that is my dad’s site.
I had my wordpress installation in a separate folder which I previously stated
Hi leeham69,
A few things:
1. Have you purchased the domain name liamkelly.xyz? In order for this to work the way you intend, you need to have a top level domain (TLD). Once (or if) you have this, then you have to set the nameservers for that domain to the nameservers of your dad’s hosting account. And give that anywhere from a few to 48 hours to take effect (it is not immediate by any means).
2. Once all that is done, then you have to set up an Addon Domain via your dad’s cPanel (assuming he has the ‘new’ Linux with cPanel hosting plan). You enter your domain and point it to the liamkelly folder in the root of your dad’s account.
3. Open phpMyAdmin from cPanel and check the wp_options table in YOUR database for the correct URL for the siteurl and home fields. They should be:
http://liamkelly.xyz or http://www.liamkelly.xyz
If the above were NOT as indicated, then you will have to run a search and replace script to update the URLs stored in the database with the new values. This is a very popular one:
https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
However, if you really haven’t gotten that far along with your site yet, it may be easier to just start over, once items 1 and 2 are completed.
Cheers!
Lyle
Hi Lylem
1. Yes I’ve had the domain since November last year. I set up domain forwarding but I haven’t changed the nameservers, I will try this and see if it works.
2. I have set up the addon domain a while back and set it to that folder.
3. The database had those fields correct.
I will try the nameservers and hope that it works, thank you
