In reply to: Updated MAMP & now can't get my local WordPress runningDefinitely more debugging info would be helpful but if you can’t log in you will not be able to install any plugins. Is it an option for you to start from scratch?

In reply to: 404 errorThis sounds like a permissions error. Did you try a manual install? The recommended way is either manually or using Softaculous.

In reply to: Blogger to WordPress – Am I Finished?As you might have noticed your site opens up with www in the URL, so this works: http://www.sidewalkshoes.com and this doesn’t: sidewalkshoes.com
You need to look in your DNS zone of your provider and fix it for the root domain too.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Fatal ErrorYou can try changing to a different theme from the database directly. There are a lot of instructions on the web on how to do it but if it’s a new install just reload everything.

In reply to: Memory errorHow much memory do you currently have allocated in PHP? Can you create an info.php file with this code in it?
<?php
// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();
?>Normally, if you are getting an error the hosting provider should be able to look it up in the logs and tell you exactly what’s wrong.

In reply to: Multisite confusion – is it right for me?The main issue with a multisite installation is a single point of failure. If you don’t care about that then it’s a good choice. The updates are very easy and quick.

In reply to: What is MySQL database for anyways?You will run out of that little disk space very quickly and the database will grow as you keep adding more posts. You should probably have at least 1GB, especially if you are going to use plugins. Also, make sure you are on a Linux box. Running WordPress on Windows can be a pain. Another thing to do is to have WordPress files on one server and the database on another.

In reply to: Migrate WordPress from subdirectory to root folder or install?There’s a pretty cool plugin called Velvet Blues Update URLs. We use it a lot when migrating sites to different domains. Not sure it would be the best tool in your case but something to keep in mind.

In reply to: DreamPress doesn't workThe fact is most hosts claim to be optimized for WordPress but in reality every set up needs to be tuned separately in terms of PHP and especially theme setups and the way different caches work with it. When somebody claims that they are compatible with all plugins. That’s just can’t be true b/c there’s no way for them to test them all.
Basically look for a specialized host that gives you multiple PHP versions that you can fully customize. Another thing is most hosts don’t want to do application support b/c it’s time consuming and they just need to sell as many accounts as possible, hence there’s never good application support.You should look into auto-installers like Simple Scrips. They have multiple versions available to be installed with one click. Also, Softaculous offers multiple versions but not for WordPress unfortunately.
BTW, installing WordPress is not as hard as it might seem. We can do it for you for free.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Problems with updating WP 3.9.1.This might be related to file/folder permissions. Try doing this by FTP upload.

In reply to: Add-on DomainIf you choose the sub-domain and install into that the root domain will not be affected.
