    Really?

    Any ideas..or links to solutions…

    I did try that…I uploaded the files via passive, then deleted them all and then did the install with active…did not make any difference….

    I went back and forth with my server provider, they have no idea.

    What would cause a wordpress install to overwrite the index.php to a blank file?

    This has never happened with any index.html file or anything on my server.

    I keep reinstalling WP and it keeps happening…it must have to do with WP.

    Any suggestions? Anything I can try? My site has been down a week now.

    Thanks

    I am looking at the file via my FTP program (Transmit) on the Mac

    The index.html I just added yesterday so I would have a place holder page up that says be back soon. The problem I have been having existed before and after I added the file.

    Any ideas why an index.php would seemingly be over written to a blank file?

    Any other things I can check? If you looked at it via FTP, you were see a full working WP install with the admin tools, and a index.php file that is completely blank.

    Any other thoughts or help would be great

    of course

    I was gonna post..but there is nothing there..but there it is.

    I am completely confused, I have done many WP installs fine but this I can’t figure out.

    If I copy the WP install index.php file to the server it works fine, but after a minute it is seemingly rewritten to a 0kb file that produces nothing. I contacted my provider (1and1) and they said they had no idea, and just to “reinstall it”. I did that, full reinstall, about 4 times now. I thought it may have something to do with the .htaccess file but 1and1 assured me that had nothing to do with WP.

    The oddest part is my wp-admin page works fine, I can create posts, change prefs, add themes. But when I view site…nothing.

    The original index file is here:

    <?php
    /**
    * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
    * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
    *
    * @package WordPress
    */

    /**
    * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
    *
    * @var bool
    */
    define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

    /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
    require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
    ?>

    (no spaces before or after it in the file)

    Straight from the WP install. The 0kb file that appears is literally blank, when I open it there is nothing there.

    If anyone has any suggestions…please let me know. I am stumped!!

    design-studio looks great..I would never have guessed its WP

    I am looking at one-theme..yes..this is the type I am looking for. Others like that would be cool

    BTW I am looking for a template..even paid..just because I don’t want to do CSS or extensive customizing. The beauty of WP is I just plug the theme in and go. Otherwise I would just design a website from scratch in html

    Looking for others like this..these are fine..but want to see what else is out there that people are using.

    Indeed I do know you can do that. But there are themes that look more like a traditional website and less like a blog. I have seen a few with flash slideshows on the front (like news themes) along with smaller thumbs that link to full blog articles.

    Guess to clarify I am looking for a theme that is more of an overview of the blog entries. Similar to a newspaper, big story and then a few smaller ones. As opposed to one long scrolling blog list of entries or one single page.

    Kind of an example:
    http://www.woothemes.com/demo/freshnews/
    Note how the front page is not a blog, but has big highlights to blog entries inside

    Also
    http://www.revolutiontheme.com/
    http://quommunication.com/

    These are examples..although non of which really grab me. But hopefully you can seen what I am thinking
