Hi Duncan,

I’m excited that they were able to send you to a software to help you install. I figured they should have something (most hosting providers do) to help make this simple 🙂

Congrats and much luck in setting up your new website!

Hi Duncan,

No, I was just made aware of keeping the topic online 🙂

Yes, that’s what I meant.

Explain where you were trying to install the WordPress site and let’s try again. Save your wp-config.php file on your desktop so that you will always have that information.
I’m game if you are 🙂

OK,

You can delete all the links you sent me in your last two posts now because of the sensitive info.

So when you use the password there, you’re getting an error still.
That seems weird.

Let me try one more thing on my end.

Edited:
Ok, I looked at all your screenshots and realized from your last one, that your wordpress installation folder does not match your website location.

Change the folder name (via FTP) to match the name of the new website you are working on.
Having your folder match gives the server a place to map your files.

Let’s see if that allows you to login.

Hi Duncan,

Sure thing. I’ll list the manual way to create your wp-config.php file and automatic way to install the new WordPress setup.

Manual update of wp-config.php

1. You will need to delete the “_MACOSX” folder with the enclosed wordpress folder. This can help eliminate any database confusion. This seems to be a duplicate installation and can be causing the “missing theme” files situation.
2. Make a copy of the “wp-config-sample.php” file and edit that “copy file”.
3. Use the information for your wordpress database that you created for this install through either your cPanel or phpMyAdmin to update the following information:
   DB_NAME
   The name of the database you created for WordPress in Step 2.
   DB_USER
   The username you created for WordPress in Step 2.
   DB_PASSWORD
   The password you chose for the WordPress username in Step 2.
   DB_HOST
   The hostname you determined in Step 2 (usually localhost, but not always; see some possible DB_HOST values). If a port, socket, or pipe is necessary, append a colon (:) and then the relevant information to the hostname.
   DB_CHARSET
   The database character set, normally should not be changed.
   DB_COLLATE
   The database collation should normally be left blank.

Don’t forget to update your secrete keys. Here’s how to do that manually:
Make them long, random and complicated — or simply, use the online generator.

These keys will look like this:
define( 'AUTH_KEY', 'tDK%X:>xy|e-Z(BXb/f(Ur`8#~UzUQG-^_Cs_GHs5U-&Wb?pgn^p8(2@}IcnCa|’ );
define( ‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘D&ovlU#|CvJ##uNq}bel+^MFtT&.b9{UvR]g%ixsXhGlRJ7q!h}XWdEC[BOKXssj’ );
define( ‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘MGKi8Br(&{H*~&0s;{k0<S(O:+f#WM+q|npJ-+P;RDKT:~jrmgj#/-,[hOBk!ry^’ );
define( ‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘FIsAsXJKL5ZlQo)iD-pt??eUbdc{_Cn<4!d~yqz))&B D?AwK%)+)F2aNwI|siOe’ );
define( ‘AUTH_SALT’, ‘7T-!^i!0,w)L#JK@pc2{8XE[DenYI^BVf{L:jvF,hf}zBf883td6D;Vcy8,S)-&G’ );
define( ‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘I6V|mDZq21-J|ihb u^q0F }F_NUcyl,=obGtq*p#Ybe4a31R,r=|n#=]@]c #’ );
define( ‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘w<$4c$Hmd%/*]`Oom>(hdXW|0M=X={we6;Mpvtg+V.o<$|#_}qG(GaVDEsn,~*4i’ );
define( ‘NONCE_SALT’, ‘a|#h{c5|P &xWs4IZ20c2&%4!c(/uG}W:mAvy<I44jAbup]t=]V<}.py(wTP%%’ );`

Automatic WordPress Install via c-Panel:
You mentioned that you have c-Panel. Does your section look like this? This would be the cleaner way to create the WordPress install and have the system create the wp-config.php file for you.

1. Log in to your cPanel.
2. Click MySQL Database Wizard icon under the Databases section.
3. In Step 1. Create a Database enter the database name and click Next Step.
4. In Step 2. Create Database Users enter the database user name and the password. Make sure to use a strong password. Click Create User.
5. In Step 3. Add User to Database click the All Privileges checkbox and click Next Step.
6. In Step 4. Complete the task note the database name and user. Write down the values of hostname, username, databasename, and the password you chose. (Note that hostname will usually be localhost.)

If you would prefer that I set up the install for you, I would be glad to help. Free of course, so that you can focus on setting up your theme! Just let me know.

Hi Enzo,

As this is a plugin, you would upload the entire folder through an FTP client or as a zipped file directly through WordPress Upload New Plugin.

See the screenshot here to see where in WordPress

I Hope this helps,

Charlene

Hi Enzo,

Also, where are you installing this theme from? The WordPress built-in installer? FTP?

Hi drdebmv,

I checked around and it seems that you may have luck updating the Twenty Fifteen theme by including (img src=”image.png”) to it. This will also remove the Text Title all together. It’s best if you’re doing these changes in a Child theme so you don’t lose them during theme upgrades.

Try adding a logo image via the following:

Open the header.php file and look for:

<div class="site-branding">
				<?php
					if ( is_front_page() && is_home() ) : ?>
						<h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>
					<?php else : ?>
						<p class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></p>
					<?php endif;

					$description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
					if ( $description || is_customize_preview() ) : ?>
						<p class="site-description"><?php echo $description; ?></p>
					<?php endif;
				?>
				<button class="secondary-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu and widgets', 'twentyfifteen' ); ?></button>
			</div><!-- .site-branding -->

and comment that out or change that to:

<div class="site-branding">
				<?php
					if ( is_front_page() && is_home() ) : ?>
						<h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?><img src="image.png" height="151" width="248"></a></h1>
					<?php else : ?>
						<p class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?><img src="image.png" height="151" width="248"></a></p>
					<?php endif;

					$description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
					if ( $description || is_customize_preview() ) : ?>
						<p class="site-description"><?php echo $description; ?></p>
					<?php endif;
				?>
				<button class="secondary-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu and widgets', 'twentyfifteen' ); ?></button>
			</div><!-- .site-branding -->
		</header><!-- .site-header -->

That should help you include the image logo and you can adjust the height and width as you see fit.

I hope this helps,
Charlene

Hi adtransinc,

I tried checking your site but it’s loading as a blank page for me.
