In reply to: Problem moving databaseUnless I misunderstood you, you do not seem to have moved the old files over to your new site. A WordPress Move consists mainly of copying both the WordPress database and the WordPress file structure (the WordPress folder and all its files and subfolders) from the old site to the new site.
This is explained, along with a few other important steps, here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPressThis plugin, if it works properly in the web hosting environments (old and new), automates the process:

In reply to: How do I undo an accidental installation?Further to what James has said: I cannot be 100% certain about Softaculous, as I used it and Fantastico a few years ago, but I tried deleting WordPress files and database, but was still prevented by one or both of them from re-installing using their installer. I ended up finding some hidden (.fant or something like that) folder or file with info I had to edit to delete the install.
Contacting the Support folks at A Small Orange really is the best way to get this solved.

In reply to: Staging Site Best Practices?Although how well it works depends on the “technical environment” of the web server(s) in the source and target systems, this plugin is worth a look: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
I used to move and clone sites using the Codex page Tara mentions, and still do if Duplicator won’t do the job for me, but have found that Duplicator can save a lot of time and effort in compatible environments.

In reply to: Security From HackersI ran into similar problems with my own VPS about 8 months ago. I installed fail2ban, initially to address ssh login attempts, then chose one of the fail2ban WordPress plugins and used it for a while, but eventually wrote my own equivalent as I wanted to expand its use to my shared hosting accounts, where I cannot install fail2ban.
Here is a good search to get you started in that direction (fail2ban):

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Doesn't work with WP 4.5.3I don’t have a localhost install with a Port Number to test, but I just did a normal domain name test site with the same type of Theme Selection Entry as you did, and it worked.
Theme=Twenty Fourteen; URL=http://test.mydomain.com/wpfolder/home/edmonton-now/test/
php Version 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
WordPress Version 4.5.3
Multiple Themes plugin Version 7.1
No other plugins installed.
Active Theme is Twenty SixteenChangelog says “Fix Port URL matching issue” in Version 7.0.2
That’s about all that I can tell you. David does official support.

In reply to: Mailchimp Plugin is not pulling all the databases which are set upThe plugin author will have to help you with that kind of problem. Each Plugin has its own support forum, linked from the plugin directory entry.
I think this is the plugin you are talking about:

Please re-post your question there.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Redirect Links from Folder to Main DomainOops, you are right. I had not tested that before. Following the “Using a pre-existing subdirectory install” section does not give you the redirection of URLs that include the subfolder.
I’ll have to leave that answer for someone else, as I’m not good at .htaccess, which is one method, nor have I looked around for a plugin to do the job, which is the second obvious method.

In reply to: Problem installing WordPressAlternatively, you can use wordpress.com for free.
Or, you can find Managed WordPress Hosting where someone else installs WordPress for you.

In reply to: How to upload index.html file to wordpressI downloaded the page by rightclicking on the page and downloading it or by doing ctrl + s
Yes, I was afraid of that.
Editing that page will not do you any good as WordPress dynamically generates that HTML and such. It is not stored in a file or database in that form, so you cannot replace it.

In reply to: Locked out with fatal error messageYou need to rename the directory
/home/content/b/a/s/basicsf/html/wp-content/plugins/proteuswidgets/to any name of your choice.That will stop the /proteuswidgets/ plugin from running, which is the cause of this problem.

In reply to: How to upload index.html file to wordpress(written before James’ comment appeared)
You have me confused. For a number of reasons:- WordPress does not have any index.html files, just index.php
- Your question suggests that you might not have downloaded the file properly, since correctly downloading and uploading are very similar
Correct downloading and uploading is normally done with FTP, though some hosts provide a File Manager in their Control Pannels.
FTP is described here: https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients

In reply to: Why is my site connected to my WP.com account?JetPack works by using your wordpress.com account. A wordpress.com account has to be created, one way or another, for Site Stats (and probably other features of JetPack) to work.
