Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Beginner / DreamHost – moving filesOh no… I have confused the expert! lol
I know with my .net site that I designed the page offline while the site remained up and running.
Since I have a new WP on the .com site, I was wondering if it would be wise to set up another WP admin login for the .com… if that is even possible.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Beginner / DreamHost – moving filesI did a brand new install.
Can I have two separate WP accounts? 1 for the .com and 1 for the .net?

In reply to: Beginner / DreamHost – moving filesOkay… I think that I need some help here. Now when I go to our page, I get the WP Admin page to login. Do I set up a totally new login or use the old/previous login?
I am guessing that if I use the old/previous login, it will pull up our WP test site. However, it will be pulling the information from our .net site.
Any suggestions or recommendations?

In reply to: Beginner / DreamHost – moving filesTo get the ball rolling… what are the steps for a proper install of WP on a new site? I didn’t use an ftp for my first install, but because of how it is currently set up… I don’t think that this will work this time. Any recommendations?
Thanks so much for the help. It has been a real struggle getting answers that I understand. 🙂

In reply to: Beginner / DreamHost – moving filesChristine… I feel like such an idiot! 🙂 This is definitely out of my realm of understanding.
So… if I understand what you are saying, I need to install WordPress into my fourtwelvemusic.com folder… correct? Will this impact at all my login into WordPress for updates?
When you say grab the wp-content folder, should I copy it or drag/drop into the new installation?
How do I connect my new WP to the previous database? You mention editing the wp-config (where is this? and how/what do I change in it?)
Export a copy of my db – using phpMyAdmin (is this a free downloadable program or already part of my WP installation?)
Once those changes are made from old to new, how do I replace the db?
Once I get the basics here, I will get to work! 🙂

In reply to: Novice that needs some quick helpThat is part of my question. I don’t really know if this is a Multisite situation. I am unclear where to go to find an answer. As I mentioned above, I am very much a beginner and terms are new. So, if I am not supposed to be in the Multisite area for this type of question… I could use the help to point me to the correct place.

In reply to: Novice that needs some quick helpThe behind the scenes stuff is what I don’t understand. I was kind of hoping to use the ftp to drag the file to the .com site. However, I think that might not be correct.
The DNS change is not complete because the old site is still live.

In reply to: Novice that needs some quick helpI went to Network Solutions and requested a registration change to DreamHost earlier this morning. I have also edited the DNS settings to now point to our new host with DreamHost.
When I go to the ftp site, I can see both the .com and .net sites listed. However, I have no clue how about a few things…
1) I have fourtwelvemusic.net as just a landing page. I don’t want to change this page. How to get our .net/webtest (WordPress test site) changed to just be our live fourtwelvemusic.com site.
2) How do I create another page using WordPress and not impact the current sites?Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: Installing second site – 2 separate accounts?I am extremely new to all of this. So, I am not sure. When I initially downloaded WordPress it was for redesigning our landing page at our .net site. It was my first attempt at WordPress. After digging a bit, I ended up re-designing our entire website and was hoping to transfer the work that I have done to our .com (which is content site). Our .net site is hosted by DreamHost, but our .com site is handled through our management company. Ideas?

In reply to: Installing second site – 2 separate accounts?sonicavenger… what did you decide to do? I am looking at doing the same type of thing with 2 separate websites. 1 is a landing page only, and the other is a content page. Would love any advice.
