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 * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [index.php goes to 0kb – stops working…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/indexphp-goes-to-0kb-stops-working/) * Thread Starter [frankmc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frankmc/) * (@frankmc) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/indexphp-goes-to-0kb-stops-working/#post-838465) * of course [http://www.fmstudio.com/index.php](http://www.fmstudio.com/index.php) * 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: * * (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!! * Frank * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Looking for a Theme that looks like a website rather than blog…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-theme-that-looks-like-a-website-rather-than-blog/) * Thread Starter [frankmc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frankmc/) * (@frankmc) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-theme-that-looks-like-a-website-rather-than-blog/#post-815956) * 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 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Looking for a Theme that looks like a website rather than blog…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-theme-that-looks-like-a-website-rather-than-blog/) * Thread Starter [frankmc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frankmc/) * (@frankmc) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-theme-that-looks-like-a-website-rather-than-blog/#post-815944) * Looking for others like this..these are fine..but want to see what else is out there that people are using. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Looking for a Theme that looks like a website rather than blog…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-theme-that-looks-like-a-website-rather-than-blog/) * Thread Starter [frankmc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frankmc/) * (@frankmc) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-theme-that-looks-like-a-website-rather-than-blog/#post-815933) * 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/](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://www.revolutiontheme.com/) [http://quommunication.com/](http://quommunication.com/) * These are examples..although non of which really grab me. But hopefully you can seen what I am thinking Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
