In that case, it would automatically point to the root. You can ask your web host to help with that configuration of that’s the route you want to take. I work for Cytanium.com and help people do it that way all the time and have my own WP site setup that way but it will all depend on what your host allows. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Bought domain.. but no info..](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bought-domain-but-no-info/) * [learningrl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningrl/) * (@learningrl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bought-domain-but-no-info/#post-2740337) * I agree, check with the host to see why WP is installed if that’s not something you asked for or wanted. Typically, you buy a hosting plan and you pick the CMS you want to create a website with. Then you install it and build the site. If WP isn’t what you want or need, you should be able to install any of the other apps that your host offers instead. I use Cytanium.com and they use WebMatrix which offers Orchard, WP, Joomla and many others for free with one click install. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [cannot login from wp-admin page, 404 error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-from-wp-admin-page-404-error/) * [learningrl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningrl/) * (@learningrl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-from-wp-admin-page-404-error/#post-2739834) * Ah, yes. I see it now. Here’s the info in case you need to look it over [http://www.whois.net/whois/cambodiareads.org](http://www.whois.net/whois/cambodiareads.org) * To change the name servers to point to your new host, you need to first know what to change them to. When you signed up with your new web host, they should have sent you an email with all of the configuration settings you’ll need to set things up. Once you have those, you contact your old host and have them change the name servers to what the new host specified. * I use Cytanium.com and that’s how they do it. I’m sure it must be the same procedure. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [cannot login from wp-admin page, 404 error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-from-wp-admin-page-404-error/) * [learningrl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningrl/) * (@learningrl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-from-wp-admin-page-404-error/#post-2739829) * MattyRasker is right. When you switch hosting companies, you need to also point your name servers or DNS to the new host. Otherwise, the server doesn’t know to send the traffic to the new location. * I did a whois lookup on [http://www.whois.net](http://www.whois.net) for the domain cambodiareas.org and the domain came up available. Are you sure you purchased the domain name? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Bought domain.. but no info..](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bought-domain-but-no-info/) * [learningrl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningrl/) * (@learningrl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bought-domain-but-no-info/#post-2740297) * Yes, sorry.

There are lots of themes that aren’t so “blog” like and offer different options. Here’s a couple to start with * [http://learningrl.net/install-wordpress-theme/](http://learningrl.net/install-wordpress-theme/) [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/) * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [WordPress site not opening, nor is admin site opening](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-not-opening-nor-is-admin-site-opening/) * [learningrl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningrl/) * (@learningrl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-not-opening-nor-is-admin-site-opening/#post-2740294) * The error says Not Found…that’s usually a DNS issue. When I do a CMD prompt of your domain, it times out. You should contact your webhost to see if something is wrong on their end and if you have access to your DNS in a control panel, you should check those to make sure they are pointing to the server-doesn’t appear to be pointing to anything at this time * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Media not uploading](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-not-uploading-1/) * [learningrl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningrl/) * (@learningrl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-not-uploading-1/#post-2739823) * Write permissions need to be enabled in your hosting control panel in order to make changes to your website. You may not have to address the Write Permissions at all if you can upload text and add or update plugins, your Write Permissions are fine. When this happened to me, it was a plugin that wasn’t playing nicely with the rest of them. Try this: – go to your plugins tab in the dashboard and look at the list of plugins installed -disable all the plugins and try to upload your images -if it works, enable them again one by one making sure you’re still able to upload images -if it doesn’t work, try a different browser * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Where to develop WP site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-to-develop-wp-site/) * [learningrl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningrl/) * (@learningrl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-to-develop-wp-site/#post-2740291) * I agree. You could do it both ways but only if your host provides a temp URL to build your site like mine does. Then your client would be able to see it before it went live to make any changes. When it is ready to go live, you just point it to the root. You could also just create a subdomain to point it to the current site just in case something goes wrong and you need to put the other site back up to fix any bugs. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Bought domain.. but no info..](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bought-domain-but-no-info/) * [learningrl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningrl/) * (@learningrl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bought-domain-but-no-info/#post-2740289) * You can see all the details of a domain by doing a whois lookup on a site like [http://www.whois.net](http://www.whois.net). Click on this link to see if this info is yours. [http://www.whois.net/whois/wicklowcountycricketclub.com](http://www.whois.net/whois/wicklowcountycricketclub.com) If so, it will show you own the domain and the name servers at the very bottom should be pointing to where the domain is hosted. If it’s not your info then you don’t own the domain and you should contact whoever you paid for the domain. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [How to block someone?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-block-someone/) * [learningrl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningrl/) * (@learningrl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-block-someone/#post-2729870) * Akismet is a good way to block any comments from that user being displayed on your site. You could also try a plugin like WP-Ban that will block that user’s IP, domain, etc from accessing your site.

If you don’t know what a plugin is, you likely didn’t install any but to be sure this isn’t the problem, check to see if any are enabled by going to the Plugins tab in your dashboard. You will see a list of installed plugins. Under each are a set of controls which allow you to activate, deactivate and edit if allowed. Deactivate any that are active and try to upload your media. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Cant add new media](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-add-new-media/) * [learningrl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learningrl/) * (@learningrl) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-add-new-media/#post-2737928) * This happened to me when I updated a plugin. Once I disabled all the plugins, I could use the media settings again. I turned all of the plugins back on one by one and it resolved the issue. Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total)
