Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: My website wont load.@kmessinger When you say that it was loading, what did you see? Was a page with a red background and the URL on it (the ISP’s parked domain page)? Or was it an actual WordPress page?
I ask, because I have don’t even seen the parked domain page anymore, just the HTTP 403 Error.
@alextotal09: Setting aside WP for a moment, can you upload a simple index.html page (
<html><body>hello world</body></html>) to the Web site root? I’m wondering if you can see that in a browser before adding in PHP and MySQL to the mix.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: My website wont load.I tried your domain in a browser and it appears to load the ISP’s default page. You know when you are browsing a Web site, and suddenly you get an error page saying the page doesn’t exist? That’s called a 404 Error (Page Not Found). What your domain does is a 403 Error (Forbidden) meaning the site isn’t configured for web browsing at all. This is a bigger issue than a particular theme.
It would be really helpful if you include specific details about what you can do versus what you can’t do (can you ftp? can you see the directories in a cPanel, stuff like that). Good luck.

In reply to: Why can't I change paragraph space?Yes, URL and also a clearer description of what you want in the end, please. (For instance, you don’t say whether you want more or less space displayed after each paragraph.)
Either way, I suspect that you have tripped over the notorious CSS browser box model and the infamous collapsing margins. If that is the case, be ready for your eyes to cross and to get a headache. Here’s a decent article explaining collapsing margins I got when I googled for ‘Eric Meyer bottom margin’

In reply to: My Blog is gone: error http 500May I suggest a few other troubleshooting options to try before changing anything? Try to isolate the problem source while changing as little as possible to minimize risk of breaking more code.
HTTP 500 is a status code telling you:
The [web] server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
but without any other data than this, we can’t even be sure it has anything to do with your WordPress installation.
You say
each time I attempt to browse my blog I see this error message
so you need to narrow down what you can and can’t do.
- Can you ping your site domain? If not, then it’s probably a server problem and you need to contact your ISP.
- Can you connect via FTP? If not, then it’s probably a server problem and you need to contact your ISP.
- If you can do the first two, then upload the most bare-bones HTML file you can (
<html><body>hello world</body></html>) named index.html to your blog’s root directory. Can you see that (http://www.yourblog.com/index.htmland be sure to type the file name explicitly) in a browser? If so, then the source of the problem more likely on your PHP or WordPress end than on the ISP’s end. - If you can see the index.html file in the browser, than try to upload and view a test.php file that contains only `<?php
phpinfo();
?>` - You can’t browse the blog, but can you access the WP admin?
Keep trying tests that narrow in on the pain point. Then you’ll be better equipped to fix it yourself, or to give more detail in this forum when asking for assistance and ideas.

Hope this helps. [Edited to fix link text]
It appears you got it fixed. I just viewed your site in both IE8 and Firefox 10 and it displays the same in both. Good luck.
