You do not mention what plugin you are using to create your products pages. You need to find that plugin in the plugin directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ and ask the question in its support forum.
For example, a popular plugin for this is WooCommerce and they have a support forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce

In reply to: Migrate WordPress site from localhost to serverNo, Duplicator is intended to create the complete WordPress environment for you. As you put it: “from scratch”.
I’ve used Duplicator and been quite happy with the results. On some web servers, Duplicator won’t run for large sites, so I still follow these instructions as an alternative: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_ScreenYour Latest Posts is the default of Home Page (“Front page displays”). You can change it to a Static Page of your own.

In reply to: Installing multiple independent wordpress sites in subdirectoriesYes, I think it would be wise to talk to your hosting company’s Support folks. They are really the only ones who can “see the whole picture”.

In reply to: Installing multiple independent wordpress sites in subdirectoriesTechnically, it can take up to 72 hours for Name Server changes to make their way “around the world”, but chances are good that you will see the change yourself in about 12 hours.

In reply to: Cannot access admin from BluehostTo access your Bluehost web hosting from the domain name futurestories.today, its name servers must point to BlueHost. Right now, they point to ns1.hover.com and ns2.hover.com.
You’ll need to work with BlueHost and Hover support to figure out how to do that, as it varies depending on the companies involved. It is likely documented on their help pages.

In reply to: How to Make Site look like Demo?I believe fashionsite is referring to:
https://wordpress.org/support/view/theme-reviews/trendmagIf so, there are two reviews at https://wordpress.org/support/view/theme-reviews/trendmag indicating problems.
99% of Themes are built and supported by individuals with varying levels of skill and commitment, so please don’t get discouraged by one bad Theme experience. There are lots of great Themes out there.

In reply to: Installing multiple independent wordpress sites in subdirectoriesIf you follow the instructions here
http://www.networksolutions.com/support/how-to-set-up-domain-pointers/
you can make a subfolder the root of a domain name.
Without doing any of the “magic” of copying index.php as described in the https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
Codex article.The problem you face is that it appears as if one of your domains has to be the /htdocs/ folder, but you can talk to your web hosting support folks about that.

In reply to: Installing multiple independent wordpress sites in subdirectoriesI understand. Thank you for the clarification.

In reply to: Installing multiple independent wordpress sites in subdirectoriesFair enough. Which is why I did not name the web hosting companies I was referring to previously.
I didn’t realize that there was concern about helping someone who is already using a web hosting company to determine the pros and cons of what that company offers.

In reply to: Installing multiple independent wordpress sites in subdirectoriesCheapest account they offer appears to be $10/month, but it sounds like the price can go up later. They call it Essential Hosting. If you want to stick with them, you could either get three of those accounts. Or use Domain Pointers to host all three domains on the same account, but in different folders:
http://www.networksolutions.com/support/how-to-set-up-domain-pointers/With Domain Pointers, isolation is not perfect, but you would have separate databases. I’m not very comfortable having one domain in a subdirectory of another, as they appear to require, essentially creating “backdoors” (URLs) from one site to the others. But we used to do that a dozen years ago, and lived with it.
Hard to say (not likely would be my guess) if you could get around it with the 5 Domain Pointers provided with Professional Hosting as it would depend on whether you could create a fake domain for the root directory, and have each of your three real domains as subfolders off the root directory.

In reply to: Word Press Install ProblemLots of possibilities, but, by far, the most likely is that your domain name was just registered or transferred to Hostgator, and has not had a chance to take up to 72 hours to be visible around the world. Second most likely is that your domain name is not correctly pointing to your web hosting space at Hostgator.
You might have more luck with Hostgator support on this.

In reply to: Installing multiple independent wordpress sites in subdirectoriesSorry, I did not understand you wanted each company to have its own domain name. That can be done with Multisite with a plugin. Nonetheless, knowing this new information makes me recommend the simplest approach: separating the domains, with each WordPress install in its own FileSpace and with its own Database.
If you can live with 1GB of disk space per domain, the most reliable web hosting that I have ever experienced should cost you only $3.50 U.S. dollars per domain per month for three separate accounts, thanks to their 30% quantity discount if you sign up as a Reseller (but don’t ever need to do any Reselling). If that is too much money, decent web hosting costs $2 a month for an account that will handle 6 domains without the same level of separation between domains.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Installing multiple independent wordpress sites in subdirectoriesHave you considered Multisite? That would allow you to have different Themes for each site, but only one WordPress install?
http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_NetworkYou can continue on your path to having a separate WordPress install for each company, but you haven’t said what you want to do with the root of the domain. You don’t actually need the https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory instructions as you can just follow the standard Install for each subfolder: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
Personally, if it were me, whichever way you choose — Multisite or 3 separate single sites — I would use subdomains instead of subfolders.
All of this assumes that you don’t want to share any information between your three company web sites. Because that opens up a whole new set of issues.

In reply to: 404 error with gatorhostIt can take up to 72 hours for a domain name to move, because a change to Name Servers can take that long to propagate around the world.
You did not say when you made that change, so it may just be a case of waiting a little longer.
