In reply to: Install theme option is goneFYI the issue is resolved…it all goes back to the fact that I should have created a new domain name when registering with my web host.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: installed WP on web host, now having trouble uploading themeIs this because I registered my domain name as bbfitliving.wordpress.com when I signed up for webhosting and not wordpress.org???
Because when I go to download WP using Fantastico, my default “domain to install” that I can’t change is bbfitliving.wordpress.com.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: installed WP on web host, now having trouble uploading themeOk if anybody is listening out there….I deleted my WP files on my computer and from my web host. I also deleted my cache and cookies.
Then I went back to my web host and downloaded (new installation) of wordpress using Fantastico. Exactly the instructions that wordpress.org gives. Anyways my webhost sent me this:
An instance of WordPress was installed on http://bblivingfit.wordpress.com
Full installation path: /home/bbeau/public_html
Public URL: http://bblivingfit.wordpress.com/
Admin URL: http://bblivingfit.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
Username: *******
Password: *********
MySQL database: bbeau_wrdp2
MySQL user: bbeau_wrdp2
Time of installation: Saturday, 14th April, 2012 @ 08:08:26 PM
DO NOT REMOVE the file named fantastico_fileslist.txt from the installation directory. It is used for uninstalling this application.Anyways I still can’t login using this new info.
I am just about ready to throw in the towel.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: installed WP on web host, now having trouble uploading themeHi ahortin. yes I’m aware of the 2 different wordpress sites and their differences. I inititially downloaded the free (non customizing one) as I thought that is what I wanted.
But then I decided to get a customized theme and then web hosting, and I assumed that the wordpress I downloaded today from my web hosting site was wordpress.org version. Doesn’t really make sense to offer the other one? Anyways I did a quick install from Gator Host but since I’m having difficulty I might try and delete that and use Fantastico (again from same web host)

In reply to: Install theme option is goneHi I posted a similar topic elsewhere but through searching found this thread and thought I would add on….I hope nobody bites me! I feel its related.
I have a wordpress site (http://bblivingfit.wordpress.com/) . I decided to download a custom theme from Elegant Themes , and then I got web hosting and downloaded WordPress onto that. My web hosting then sent me this:
Your installation is ready. You can access it now by going to http://bblivingfit.wordpress.com/ .
And then they said they can log in with the following credentials and gave me a new user name and password to sign in with.
But for the life of me I can’t sign in using that info. It says invalid or says it seems trying to log into wordpress.org and gives me a link but just goes back to my original log in page.
It just seems from the instructions, I am supposed to go to Dashboard, Appearance and then themes and then upload my custom theme. But I figure I have to log in through my new username and password given to me by my webhost to access this feature otherwise I’m just looking at my normal wordpress blog (.com) instead of the wordpress.org which allows customization.
Thanks,
Beth
