Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Google AdsenseWhen you say ‘web-based WordPress,’ do you mean you have a wordpress.com account with your own domain? Or are you hosting your own site on a third-party server?
If the case is the former, you’re likely running into this problem:

In reply to: Styling text – editing doesn't match updateHi Robert, unfortunately content in the editor rarely looks the way it will display on the page. Kevin’s comment about unordered lists (i.e. a stacked list without any bullets or numbers) is probably relevant here because that’s a really standard way for designers to set up information so it’s formatted nicely. We can’t know without looking at the code, though.
I took a look at the page but I don’t see the list of publications so I assume you removed them for the moment. Are they supposed to appear in the white box at the bottom when you have placed them? Could you provide a screenshot of the code (from the visual editor AND the text editor would be helpful) as well as a screenshot of the mess it makes when applied? We might be able to make sense of it from that.
(If you don’t have a place to upload images and link to them, you could upload them to your site and copy the url for this thread, without clicking ‘Insert into post.’)

In reply to: Headers and Footers are not showing upHi Buckylulu, one thing I noticed — the header and footer are there on the page, but they’ve turned white and therefore invisible. If you mouse around, you’ll see the mouseover links show up in the white space.
Not sure what’s happening, but could you give a few more details? Was the theme built from scratch or adapted from an existing theme? When you log back in, do the headers reappear again? Have you made any recent changes to the css? Are there any other pages in your site that are working, with or without the header and footer?
I notice your logo is white on a transparent background, which leads me to think you had a coloured header background so it would show up. Perhaps the colour has just been accidentally stripped out of the css for the header and footer backgrounds?

In reply to: Remove /wp/ from the urlHow many users are registered for this site? If it was installed by someone else, they’re probably the default admin. Is it possible that your login username has not been given administrative permissions? The admin may need to assign your username an admin role as well.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Site not showing up after installMost likely it’s just the delay in the domain name servers making the connection to your site’s new home, as kanga roo says above. But if it doesn’t fix itself in a day, here is another idea to check:
Is your wordpress install in a subdirectory?
i.e. http://www.yoursite.com/wordpress/ instead of just http://www.yoursite.com?If that’s the case, the hosting company might still have a template index.html or index.php in the root directory. You will have to get rid of it and follow the instructions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
