 * Hi
 * I’m trying to do the following
 * I’ve tried setting it up myself but I am stuck
 * I went to wordpress.org and downloaded the wordpress 4.0 files
 * I am following some instructions that tell me I then need to go to file manager,
   public_html upload and then upload the wordpress.zip file.
 * The problem is that the download did not download a wordpress.zip file ! In fact
   whn I go to the download page the .zip option is greyed out& therefore useless!!
 * Apparently the next steps are to extract the zip file and then browse to the 
   site and WordPress will step me through the configuration process.
 * Can you help me please?
