James,
Thanks so much – I was able to get everything up and running, and I learned a little in the process. Thanks again bud!
James,
OK that makes sense to me. I will respond back if I cannot figure this out after working with SiteGround support.
James,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly with a detailed response. Before I go ahead with those steps, I should mention that I attempted to change the wordpress and site addresses in Settings > general to my desired domain. When I did this to the WordPress address, nothing changed it seems. When I did this to the site address, it made it so i couldn’t reach my website (too many redirects).
Does this sound consistent with any particular issue? FYI I was able to recover the website by finding the IP on Siteground and re-typing it + the rest of the address in the “site address” section of settings > general.
