Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Login Pre-populates Valid Usernames – How to Prevent ThisThe pre-population of user and password information in WordPress is being done in the same manner it is with other web site software and even straight HTML sites: by the site visitor’s browser. As such, there is zero security risk, with the single exception of shared computers where one of the people sharing the computer knows one of your WordPress user names.
I haven’t checked it out, but the behaviour you are seeing where WordPress does not pre-populate with a previously rejected user name is likely (i.e. – I haven’t heard of this before and have not looked at the code) the result of WordPress specifically requesting “no pre-population” as a convenience.

In reply to: Manual IIS Install and Redeclare ErrorReliably doing a file transfer of 1000+ files individually is error-prone. I always try to move a single compressed file if at all feasible.
In case you are interested, the “duplicate post” comment is based on this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post
Glad that you got it resolved (as you mentioned in the other post)!

In reply to: today i couldn't open my website“User(s) already exists.” would seem to indicate that the WordPress database already exists, but is incomplete.
Cannot say for sure that the hosting company is at fault. But they can help you do a restore from a backup, if you have trouble.

In reply to: today i couldn't open my websiteAbout all that you can do at this point, if you want to save your site, is to go back to a backup made before it stopped working. If you are unsure how to do that, contact your web host company’s support folks.
You will have to restore both the WordPress database and the files.

In reply to: Manual IIS Install and Redeclare ErrorYou can verify this for yourself with a Text Editor on your own workstation on a download from https://wordpress.org/download/, but the only place that the get_category_link() function is defined in Version 4.4.2 of WordPress is on Line 19 of /wp-includes/category-template.php
The referenced line (18) of /wp-includes/category.php is the middle of a PHP Comment block.
I would begin by comparing the current contents of the /wp-includes/ directory on your IIS server with the download on your workstation, especially those two files.

In reply to: Exporting WP site“Download your existing site files.” probably means the directory
/var/www/html/wordpresswhere “Download” means you FTP it or simply access it directly.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Exporting WP siteIn WordPress parlance, you are “Moving WordPress”. Or, at least, that is what I think you will want to do.
Official Codex doc. is here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
More recently, the Duplicator plugin has become an alternative that is much easier if it works for your move. If not, the Codex is the best way to go.

In reply to: White Page after move to Sub-directory except on Home & AdminIIS can be tricky.
Best that I can suggest is to follow the official documentation: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
For example, I don’t see where you have Saved Permalinks or done a search/replace, as explained in the Codex article above.
Beyond that, the WSOD debugging is described here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#The_White_Screen_of_Death
In my own experience, WP_DEBUG and some similar constants can be helpful in debugging WSOD as explained here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
