If I understand what your last comment said, that would lay your problem. If you restored the database, it is not to be found within the phpMyAdmin, along with its associated tables and information. Then there is nothing for WP to work with.

Therefore, if nothing is showing, and you have a blank database with just a matching dB name; then WordPress would obviously need to prepare the dB for usage. Hence, the installation setup. If you still have a copy of the backup database, then I would review the link I posted and try to restore the database again. Delete the “recently created” database and start fresh.

Hope it works out for you insurgenesis

Did you make sure the wp-config.php had the appropriate information listed correctly?

For example… table prefix?

if you are looking to place an external webpage into yours, you would need to use an iframe.

Bummer that we couldn’t knockout the complete solution. Sometimes, things can be harder to diagnose without complete control of the resources. But, we did take a step forward though. And the author will have the best knowledge of that theme; therefore, you should be in good hands.

Good luck AndreasStrauss

When creating these posts, are they “published” or “draft”? Draft will not show.

The feed does show a Title “Shipping Containers – Container Sale and Hire by Price and Speed » General” but no excerpt/summary. When I remove the feed aspect, the category shows nothing. Could potentially be an error within the theme your using. The steps I gave earlier are very consistent and common to achieve with a normal WordPress install.

If in deed this is a theme/layout, review the documentation provided with it, or contact the author for further discussion. I am accessible by Skype, my username is [ redacted, support is offered via the forum and not email or skype ]. I could take a few minutes and take a run through, if you would like?

The 404 Error is referring to the missing homepage “content” and not the whole site. Depending upon how your theme is setup, the homepage content can be displayed a few ways:

— Latest Blogs
— Using Widgets in the Widget Area (Appearance > Widgets)
— Or creating a “Page” then associating it (Settings > Reading > Choose Static Button, and select the appropriate page for ‘Front Page’) Sometimes this option will have you select a particular template within the Edit Page.
— index.php file could be edited
— etc.

More and likely, many of the newer themes use the 3 option I listed. Also, refer to the documentation this theme came with to further minimize time spent in diagnosing it.

Hope this helps point you in the right direction.

Simple solutions, is if the theme you are using has made a compatible widget. Where you can create a “Menu” of the selected pages you desire within the “Appearance > Menus” option.

Then, save the menu and go into “Appearance > Widgets” option and place a Custom Menu widget in the part of the sidebar you desire it to be located.

Hope this helps.

This could just be me, because it’s past midnight and I might not be thinking completely clear here. But, the URL to this “latest news” page is showing as:

../about-us/latest-news/

Nevertheless, ‘about-us’ is a page and not a category or post, right? So how are you associating a blog category as a child of a page then trying to get a feed off of it?

Go to your “post” menu, then “categories” option. Find the category you are using for your blogs, put your mouse of the “view” link found below it. In status bar, use that address plus /feed at the end of it to get proper RSS Feed link. Any sub-categories will fall into that feed as well. (Note: You can right click the “view” link and select copy link location, and then paste that into feedburner, along with feed at the end.)

For the navigation menu “latest-news”. Within your wp menus editor, change that latest news menu option to the category your using for latest news within the menu area of the dashboard. Then, it should properly show the blog listings.

Hope this helps.
